It seems your diabetes is in early phase. Start walking at least 1 hour every day. Do not eat heavy meals, instead take 4-5 lower portion. I.e if your have your meal two times a day break it in to 4 time in a lower portion. Reduce your carb intake. Take your meal timely and do not eat after 9 in evening.. you can control your diabetes in control by excercise and healthy lifestyle. Best of luck

1) useless dose schedule. Metformin once in night is not enough.

2) take as less carbs as possible.

3)Continue exercise

Diet management is of utmost importance.

[Aiyaraj]

Reduce carbohydrate intake.

[makarim]

Reduce carb to the minimum may be 100 120 grams from all sources.Substitute with good fat. Exercise regularly mostly walking at brisk speed.no need for metformin 250 at night.Thanks.

But sometimes u end up cheating on diets like party and all than get very depressed ,,,generally in such cases if I do test after 2 hours of party meal it's 160 ,or can I walk afterwords,,,for 15 ,20 minutes to make it normal ,,,

Avoid medicine. Like others have already said try to control with food intake and exercise. It is possible.

HbA1c below 6.3 is not bad for a diabetic.

[anshuahana in reply to sanjeev1957]

It’s my first report ,,I thought I m prediabetic 😂

[rajanj]

I agree with all comments. 6.3 is not at all bad. But be careful and try to avoid medicines. They are dangerous. Have a good diet control and exercises and walk. I guess you can control it well. Don't eat fried food. Eat salad at least 300 to 400 grams and then have your regular meal. You ought to be okay by that and of course don't eat after 8 pm if possible.

Thanjs

[anshuahana]

Will it come in that range with 1 hour walk and small portions ,,,

[anshuahana]

Hello anshuahana,

You seem to have troubles controlling your BSL. If you think you do not want to take Metformin at this stage, you really have to try harder to control your diet (Low Carbs diet) and exercise regularly to avoid any damages to your health. Basically, you need to count your carbs of each meal and knowing the GI and GL index of foods. Monitoring your FBS and PPBS closely as well as eliminating any foods that spike your BSL.

Have you ever visited the diet Website created by Anup?

Do not stress yourself too much because stress is one of factors for increased blood sugar. I am sure you can do this. If not, the prescribed medication can give you some helps. Good luck!

[anshuahana in reply to Luckysugar]

Agree ,,I get unnecessary stress ,,at times ,,

[Luckysugar in reply to anshuahana]

Don't panic dear. Your recent HbA1C has slightly increased indicating high CARBS in your diet. In regards to high FBS, please avoid late dinner and eat less amount of CARBS in this meal. You don't have to starve yourself by skipping dinner. Give it a try, hopefully this would help.

[anshuahana]

No symptoms,,pp is 130 to 160 max

Better take every day one spoon full of methi with curd as you are type2 diabetes it would be enough but you should maintain Hba1c should be below 6.
