Hi doctor,

I am diabetic for past four years. I am taking Tablet Glynase MF for diabetes. My FBS is 200 mg/dL, PPBS is 300 mg/dL and Hba1c is 8 %. Kindly provide proper drug and diet for managing blood sugar.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Follow the diabetic diet and exercise daily for at least 30 minutes. Here is a sample diet to help you understand the diet. Early morning: Green tea (sugarless), Breakfast: Nonfried preparations or whole wheat bread or vegetable poha, upma, idli sambhar. Mid-morning: Fruits (avoid carbohydrate-rich fruits like grapes, banana, custard apple and watermelon). Lunch: Two roti with gravy, one bowl with dal or skimmed curd or one bowl with salad. Evening snacks: Tea or Coffee (sugarless) with high fiber biscuits or Sprouts in one bowl. Dinner: Two chapattis with vegetable, or one glass of skimmed buttermilk or salad in one bowl. Continue your ongoing treatment and also take tablet Volibo 0.2 mg (Voglibose) twice a day before lunch and dinner for seven days. Follow up after seven days with your fasting and postprandial blood sugar levels.
