I (51 years) am at "borderline" diabetic i.e 125 on fasting and less than 200 after eating. I was prescribed homeopathic medicine plus dietary controls and exercise,

Now my levels are well within limits. 80 on fasting and 110 on eating.

I stopped eating any sweet including in tea. Reduced rice and eat more wheat and ragi.

reduced chiken and normal fish. Doing half an hour brisk walk, stretching and yoga for half an hour in the morning and normal walk of half an hour in the evening.

Last six month I reduced my weight from 78 to 68 kg. I stopped smoking and alcohol for the last six months.

Friends please suggest, anything more need to be done to escape from type 2 diabetics.

I wish to lead a healthy life till 87 years(three years less than my father),

Dear friend! Though I am not be able to give ther relevant options in a chronological order, One thing I remember very well and that is during my course refreshing training I was advised by one coach that it would be always be advisable to have a walk before undertanting yoga, And I feel walking shoud form the main part of our daily routine. We should never underestimate the importance of pranaayam. On the whole if we are able to perform all the physical and mental rituals in a proportionate manner it would be really fine. But excessive exercises may have to be avoided

Easiest thing is to do waking for 40 minutes every day. If you are in the habit of waking up early, start with Walking and pranayama. Regular yogasanas could substitute for walking if there is not enough time.
