I have Type 2 diabetes. By reducing 20 kgs weight, exercises and diet control, I am now non-diabetic. How frequently I get testing done ?

[dlpandya01]

Doctors suggested me to stop taking medicine. Since last two months , I get blood sugar tests done every month. My last results were 82/105 and HBA1C 5.5

It is not possible for a diabetic to become non-diabetic but it may be true when you were in pre-diabetic condition. Anyway, it is better to test your condition weekly thrice or more for a month to ascertain the values. Consult a doctor and show the readings before stopping any prescribed drug. You have not indicated whether you are still under medication or not,

Thank you very much sir. I have already discontinued medication for diabetes with advise from Doctor. Thereafter , I got testing done two times at the interval of one month each. My last month's results were 80/105 and HbAiC 5.5 which was done about two weeks before. Right now , I am not taking any medicine for diabetes. I had undergone angioplasty ( one stent ) about one year back after which I started to work on my weight. I am already taking medicing related to post angioplasty requiirements in continuous consultation with the Doctor who performed Angioplasty.
