Hi Khagesh ,

Has your doctor suggested eating low carb. high protein or low carb. high fat? What medication(s) has the doctor prescribed? Did the doctor give you a home blood test kit to use? How many times do they want you to test? Are you type 1, 1.5 (LADA) or 2?

Hello,

You have taken the first step in asking for help. welcome to DI.

You need to give more information, age, height, weight, what made you go for blood test, do you go for p many times a night and many more?

If you look at the photo at the top your HbA1C is in red, you need to try and bring it to green.

Life style change, regular exercise can help before looking for medication to control blood glucose number. Watching out for hidden and free sugar in food and drinks, avoiding most sweet products, high car food, eating small portions of food are all important. This can be difficult to start with but you can achieve this control.

Take care.

Dear sir. Meet a doctor who can help you to reduce sugar levels. Age is also a factor. Exercise walking food control etc. . along with medicines controls your levels. Hope it is clear sir.

If you can provide more details about your diet and exercise regimen, then members may be able to give you advice. e. g. What do you eat for breakfast, lunch and dinner? Also are you taking any medication?

Research has also shown that people with type 2 diabetes who reduce their HbA1c by 1%, 19% less likely to suffer cataracts, 16% less likely to suffer heart failure, 43% less likely to suffer amputation or death due to peripheral vascular disease.
