I was diagnosed with high levels of sugar in Apr 16. Fasting 334 & PP 460 and the symptoms were frequent urination, hunger and mainly losing weight. I was prescribed metformin and glimpride. After almost two months, I stopped taking these medicines and started ayurvedic medicine. I am on diabetic diet and exercising daily. My sugar level is under control FS 80 & pp 110 but I have become underweight now and I am able to increase the weight. Please advise me how to Increase the weight and what to eat considering the diabetes.

Thanks for your reply. I am taking 02 chapatis with any green vegetables in breakfast. Around 10'o clock, I take 02 Idly or 01 plain dosa. In lunch, I eat 02 chapatis with Yoghurt or dal. Evening Oats or Daliya and 02 chapatis with vegetables in dinner.

But if I join Gym for heavy exercising then I would require heavy diet also which can increase sugar level. So what is solution for the same ???

I am taking locally prepared ayurvedic powder which is made of almost 15 natural substances.

My A1c is in between 5.6 to 6.4 which was 8.1 at the time of detection.

I have gone through all the tests that is normal
