Do you have any snacks when the numbers are upper 100's (below 120 mg/dl?

[rashmisharma2612 in reply to Activity2004]

Fasting is always around 91 PP 162 as apolo lab gave 2 slice bread poha and I had 2 cup of coffee

[Activity2004 Administrator in reply to rashmisharma2612]

What is poha? Does it have carbs in it? If it does, it may raise blood sugars.

[rashmisharma2612 in reply to Activity2004]

Poha is made of rice high in carb since diagnosed recently my father and brother both diabetic ,what should we eat for pp test,suddenly belly fat increased very sharp with cholestrol now reduced

[Activity2004 Administrator in reply to rashmisharma2612]

Have you spoken with the doctor about carb counting and changing a few of the foods you and the rest of the family eat on a regular basis? Are you type 1, 2 or LADA (1.5)? Are you on medications alone, or do you use insulin?

Poha is flake rice. Carbs? Yes.

[Activity2004 Administrator in reply to suramo]

Thank you for letting me know, suramo .

[rashmisharma2612]

I am neither on any medicine nor insulin controling through diet /exercise but feel very sad to stop sugar and changes in food when other family members enjoy.

This is very Early stage of Diabetic , First PP goes high then followed by FP .. So careful too

.. You are in early stage and If you failed to change life and diet , It can go worse ..

There is no need of Medicine with this near to normal numbers .. Just cut few carbs and start exercise .

You are very fortunate that you identified this disorder too early , make use of this danger signal and keep diabetic away forever .,

[BangaloreMate in reply to rashmisharma2612]

When you were first diagnosed, what was the number at that time? If this is your first test, than you are very lucky that you identified it very early. Most of the doctors will ignore the numbers or may call you pre-diabetic. It's not full ONSET diabetes.

You have not mentioned your age. Age is an important factor. The situation is not at all alarming if you are above 55.

[rashmisharma2612 in reply to rajanj]

I am 55 yr slim female having father/brother diabetic noticed sudden increase in belly fat when went for annual check cholestrol also crossed limit and fb 92 pp 162 while 14 months before these readings were fb 85 pp 120.now under controll through fasting, diet, and walking after meal. But feeling quite bad can it be reversed

[rajanj in reply to rashmisharma2612]

I believe it can be reversed. Many say it can't. But one thing for sure do not take heavy meals. Walk and if it is under control without medicines, there you are! Of course should avoid sugar, packed food and junk food. Hope this helps you.

If you walk 15 minutes in the court yard after each meal, your PPBS will be lowered. This is the advice given to pregnant women with gestational diabetes.
