How can I manage diabetes and heal abscess and pimples?

Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. Do you have a family history of diabetes mellitus type 2? My suggestion is for better sugar control and overall health. Start by working on gradual weight loss, aiming to reduce about 2.2 pounds per month. This steady weight loss can significantly help lower your blood sugar levels over time.

My mother's fasting sugar is higher than the post prandial sugar.Why is this happening?

Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. Regarding blood sugar levels, if a patient is diabetic and if she is on oral medication for diabetes, the sugar levels can be as have you stated (fasting blood sugar level more than the post prandial blood sugar). This happens because most of the anti-diabetic medications are taken either with or before breakfast. If the patient is not a diabetic, as soon as she takes the breakfast, it will act as a stimulant to produce insulin in the body and that will bring down the post prandial blood sugar level (PP). Normal diet can be 2 or 3 dosas, chapatis or rotis, in which the blood glucose level will be lower than 75 grams of direct glucose.

Lately, I feel tired after my morning walks. Why?

Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. Sorry to say that, yes, you are diabetic. I would like you to take Glycomet (Metformin) 500 mg once a day, preferably in the morning, to avoid any hypoglycemic effects. If I were your doctor, I would have started it when I first saw the A1C to be abnormal. Even though your sugars are only borderline, I would suggest you take the tablet, to avoid the complications of diabetes mellitus II.

Kindly suggest treatment for tingling sensation in my leg.

Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. This may be due to your long journey where all your joints will be flexed for quite a long time inspire of the rest you had in between. If it is in a bike, your lower spine has also been flexed, which will cause a small inconvenience to the nerves which pass through the foramen of the spine. It simply may due to a vitamin deficiency, or be due to disc problem. Rule out any disc problem, see an orthopedic surgeon, do a spinal MRI (Magnetic resonance imaging).
