I am 30 years old male. Few months back I have taken my random blood sugar test which result in 259. I was afraid and taken a fasting and pp blood sugar test which resulted in 190 fasting and 248 in pp. I consulted with one physician who suggested one medicine gliclazide 80 mg and metformin 500 mg once daily before breakfast. But still I am not getting proper reading. In diet I have avoided sugar, sweet dishes, rice, potatoes, sweet fruits etc. In breakfast I take 2 nos chapati with green vegetable like gourd etc and salads. In lunch 1 take 3 nos chapati and some cabbage, cauliflowers, radish, bitter gourd etc and same in dinner. By profession I am an engineer and work exercise regularly including morning walks and few cardiovascular exercises. My family history is well known for diabetes. My mother is a diabetic since last 25 years, my father is non diabetic with epilepsy since last 50 years, my grandfather was diabetic, my grand mother was diabetic, my maternal uncles were diabetic and my own uncles are also diabetic. So I know I am on high risk of getting diabetic but what can I do to avoid symptoms? What medicines should I take. Is there any possibility to revoke dm if started treatment, precautions early being this in too early stage say 2 months only. If required I can share my blood test reports for hba1c, bsf/pp, cbc, lft, kft, lipid profile etc. Please suggest.
