I want to control my diabetes without medicines. I brought down my fasting BS from 160 to 130 in about 1 and a half months. Should I continue without medication or should I start medication.

Hello, Thanks for your query on Lybrate "As" per your clinical history is concerned first try lifestyle modifications like this- 1)Eat healthy foods. Choose foods lower in fat and calories and higher in fiber. Focus on fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. Strive for variety to prevent boredom. 2)Get more physical activity. Aim for 30 minutes of moderate physical activity a day. Take a brisk daily walk. If you can't fit in a long workout, break it up into smaller sessions spread throughout the day. 3)Try to lose excess weights. If you're overweight, losing even 7 percent of your body weight can reduce the risk of diabetes. To keep your weight in a healthy range, focus on permanent changes to your eating and exercise habits. Hope that helps

That's a good improvement. However, you must check both fasting bs, post lunch bs and also a special test called as hba1c after another 6 weeks. If they are outside limits, you will need to start on medicines according to reports. If they are normal, you must check these tests 3 monthly.
