Concerned about Mrng readings

[Shailajaa]

Thanks to this community and great people that I have been managing my type 2 well.I want my morning readings are approx around110-115, pp and reading during day are normal. I take low carb diet, drink lots of lemon water and workout. Any help if I can lower my Mrng readings further. I am not on allopathic meds.

As per my understanding Abnormal FBS is due to malfunction of liver...

May be you should look in to that and look for some liver support supplements..

may be Hidden will be able to guide you in this regards

[Shailajaa in reply to cure]

Thank you. I guessed it too. The only liver supplement I know is liv52. I have to go to a good doctor and have a fix. Thank you.

[cure Administrator in reply to Shailajaa]

milk thistle is one ...

patanjali live D 38 is other one

[Shailajaa in reply to cure]

Thanks, will start a liver tonic soon.

[cure Administrator in reply to Shailajaa]

Give it a rest

It is said liver is self healing organ

What are FBS readings ?

[Bhal2_]

Shailajaji , please let me know what r ur FBS readings ?

[Shailajaa in reply to Bhal2_]

100-120 usually

[Bhal2_ in reply to Shailajaa]

I think 100 -120 FBS is ok. Not to worry . Yes , it should be <100 . But if ur FBS readings r 100 -120 without meds , it's OK. Mine are 111 -120 without allopathic meds . Any senior can tell us better .

Whats the PP reading..

I used Milk thistle 300mg for 6 mts to improve liver function which is vital for a good fasting

Also had a green juice made of karela at home daily. with the options of adding Amla, ginger, raw turmeric. i have used this for a year daily to buckle down fasting from 153 to 90 to 95 now

[Shailajaa in reply to Hidden]

Thanks, My pp is usually 110-120.I take morning tea without sugar early morning. I guess I have to change it to green tea and have Karel a and a amla juice that's lying in my fridge. I am addicted to have atleast 2cups of Chai a day. I guess I have to let it go. I have changed myself completely in these 3 months after detection, honestly these 2 cuppa are like small treat to me that help me going

[Hidden in reply to Shailajaa]

Go ahead and have your tea

Have it with some amul fresh cream in place of milk

Add 1 to 2 drops stevia

I've observed my FBS goes a bit high 100 - 110 when I ate more carbs at dinner time plus ignoring to move my body as I should. Pretty much sitting and watching TV at the end of the day. Last two day for example where I got on to my yoga mat while watching a movie on DVD. This leads to morning FBS 80 - 85. There is no magic plus yoga is good for general health both mind and physical body.

[Shailajaa in reply to Luckysugar]

Thanks luckysugar. I have cooked sprouts with veggies with Lil yogurt at 8.30.And I workout 1 hour daily, cardio plus weights. Still getting on the higher side.

[Luckysugar in reply to Shailajaa]

What's your PPBS after eating these foods? ( look very light low car meal)

When do you normally do 1 hour workout?

[Shailajaa in reply to Luckysugar]

My PPBS are in 120's. I workout at 10.30am daily. I hour dedicated and quite intense. Lost 9kgs in 3 months. And it's tougher as I was diagnosed with PCOS at 16,although I am quite relieved now. Only morning time schedule suits me as I have to take care of my 3yr old son.

[Luckysugar in reply to Shailajaa]

Your PPBS is under controlled. If you think there is any concerns with the liver, check with your doctor for some tests and treatment. Even taking supplements, it's advisable to let him/her know. Keep it up with your exercise routine as this will benefit both diabetes and PCOS.

[Hidden]

Hi Shailaja, I also am finding controlling fasting sugar a bit tricky... even my levels are between 110-120... guess I'll also try milk thistle as adv by Mr Shashikantiyengar ji.

[Shailajaa in reply to Hidden]

Yes Vinny, I will do that too. Guess my liver needs some TLC too

[cure Administrator in reply to Shailajaa]

may be you can consider patanjalee liv d 38...
