diabetic for the last 13 years. Have managed it to remain,mostly, within limit without any drugs with brisk walk and adherence to a diet without rice and potato and sugar etc, I mean low glycemic except the chapati. readings go berserk when I stop the walk or include rice in my diet. Started LCHF kind of diet last month, I. e. 200gm fish, 1 apple,50gm assorted dry fruit,150gms greens,150gms peanut and groundnut mix and 500ml fc milk. Is the diet good? I am 62,5'8",73kg. last month readings hba1c 7.5,ppg 210mg/dl. today ppg 135mg/dl.

Your body mass index is 24.4 and it is normal. Above 25 is considered as overweight. Your HbA1c level is high. Try to maintain HbA1c level between 5.5% to 6.5%.

Fasting blood sugar should be less than 100 mg/dL. Postprandial blood sugar should be less than 140 mg/dL.

Over time, people who have diabetes and high blood sugar can develop serious or life-threatening complications, including heart disease, stroke, kidney problems, nerve damage, and eye problems. Taking medication(s), making lifestyle changes (e.g., diet, exercise, quitting smoking), and regularly checking your blood sugar may help to manage your diabetes and improve your health. This therapy may also decrease your chances of having a heart attack, stroke, or other diabetes-related complications such as kidney failure, nerve damage (numb, cold legs or feet; decreased sexual ability in men and women), eye problems, including changes or loss of vision, or gum disease. Your doctor and other healthcare providers will talk to you about the best way to manage your diabetes.

Hence you should undergo the following tests at periodical intervals.

A: HbA1c. HbA1c is a lab test that shows the average level of blood sugar (glucose) over the previous 3 months. It shows

how well you are controlling your diabetes.

B: Control your high Blood pressure, if any. Normal blood pressure- <120/80 mmHg.

C: Control your blood Cholesterol: Normal cholesterol < 200 mg/dL. LDL <100 mg/dL HDL > 40 mg/dL Triglyceride < 150 mg/dL.

D: Diabetic education. Dental check-up should be done in every 6 months.

E: Eye examination for glaucoma, age-related macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy and cataract.

F: Foot examination

G: Glucose monitoring. Fasting or postprandial blood sugar may be checked daily and avoid foods that elevates blood sugar.

H: Health maintenance immunization against influenza and pneumococcal pneumonia.

I: Indications for specialty care. Heart, kidney, thyroid and eye should be checked periodically by concerned specialists.
