Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I have been a diabetic patient for a decade now. My report result is postprandial 300 mg/dL. I have not taken any tablets. My height is 5 feet and 7 inches, and my weight is 50 kgs. How do I control diabetes? Kindly suggest.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I have read your query and understand your concern. Since the sugar levels are high, you need to start medication. I would suggest Tablet Glycomet (Metformin Hydrochloride) 500 mg twice a day after food for 10 days. Recheck blood sugar after a week. Consult your specialist doctor, discuss with them and take medicines with their consent. Always try to take freshly prepared meals. Avoid skipping breakfast. Have nuts before exercise. Take small five to six small meals a day. Avoid packaged, processed, and ready-to-eat foods. Drink adequate water. Take different color fruit a day. In the morning, eat yogurt with sliced fruits, brown rice idlis, a glass of milk, bread, porridge, or semi-cooked vegetables. Have mixed-vegetable curry or brown rice with dal or a vegetable soup or whole-grain roti with salad for lunch. For dinner, have multigrain rotis, salad, vegetarian paratha with raita, a bowl of fruits, or brown rice with vegetables. Thank you.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
