[Yugalsharma]

Hi , i am 30 yr and have diabtese for 2 yrs and now my hba1c is 7 and fasting sugar level is 117 and after food 160 .. is it good control ? I am on medicines

Can you please advise how can i reduce much lower if this is not in good control

[Manasvi]

Yes,but since you are young your target should be 6.5, your post prandial should be<140

Eat less food more times in a day.

Eat less food for dinner before 8:00 pm.

Adopt diabetic diet.

Engage in brisk walking daily for about 30 minutes.

Fasting blood sugar (FBS) should be less than 100 mg/dL.

Postprandial blood sugar (PPBS) (2 hours after taking food) should be less than 140 mg/dL.

HbA1c should be less than 6.5%

Your blood sugar levels are not high. But it is better to lower the same in order to reduce the risk of diabetic complications.

No, it is not ideal situation . Please go for a balanced diet. It will reduce your blood sugar and HbA1c.

Check the HbA1C again from a different lab as it is not correlating to a fairly lower fasting sugar. Over medication based on HbA1C can be dangerous.

Only cutting down on carbs will work otherwise medicines will go on increasing.
