Despite my honest food restriction and brisk walk for one and half hours daily, the reading of my HbA1c is constantly at 6.4

The fasting is 123 and pp is 212.

I have not started any medicine.

Sedentory life style untill diabetes detected.

I have reduced my carb intake at very low level

As advised my doctor for reduction of carb and increase physical activity,but the desired result does not appear to b near.

OK!

Do not be hopeless!!

It will take some time to come down and some more time to come under non-diabetic range.

My HbA1c was 8.12 and latest is 5.8.Just because of carb reduction and addition of good fat in diet as per suggestion of helping hands in this forum,especially healthunlocked.com/user/anup

Physical activities are good for health so continue that but avoid too much.

Remember-diet is key for diabetes management.

Add nuts and green vegetables in your diet.

Also read old posts including mine.These posts contain many questions related to diabetes and their answers from knowledgeable and experienced people including our Volunteers.

Dear Imteyaz Kindly reduce 2+2 roti to 1+! .Increase salad ,good fat,nuts etc. After one month go for sugar checking. I am taking only one roti since one year. Follow the link of health unlocked of Anup, Shrisamarth,Cure,Sahikantiyar and Alwayas optimistic. Insallha you will be able to reduce sugar level.
