Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
I am reaching out because I have been diagnosed with diabetes, and I am feeling overwhelmed about managing it on a day-to-day basis. A woman of 56, I have a family history of the condition, and recently, I have been experiencing increased fatigue, frequent urination, and unexplained weight loss. I am unsure about the dietary changes I need to make and the best ways to monitor my blood sugar levels. Can you provide guidance on creating a manageable daily routine and offer advice on maintaining a healthy lifestyle with diabetes? I want to take proactive steps to ensure my well-being and would appreciate any insights or recommendations you can provide.
Thank you.
Hi,
I appreciate that you have chosen icliniq.com for your medical needs.
I am here to give you the best care possible.
Yes, you can monitor it daily with a glucometer. The test can be done at home by yourself, so just get a glucometer and do it on an empty stomach and after two hours of eating food. Then, make a chart and send it to us. We will prescribe you medicine accordingly. Other preventative measures can include exercise and a proper diet. You should walk or run at least 1.9 to 2.5 miles daily; walking or running is the best way to prevent diabetes. In your diet, you should completely avoid products containing sugar and focus on consuming more vegetable soups and fruits. These changes will help maintain normal body weight and blood sugar levels. Instead of eating food in large portions, you should opt for smaller portions to prevent a rapid increase in sugar levels. Consult with your doctor and follow up every month so that we can monitor it. If there is anything else, please let me know.
I hope your query was resolved. For further queries, you can consult me at icliniq.
Thank you.
