For diabetes follow a diet low in carbohydrate, low in fat and high in fibre. Avoid bakery products. Avoid too much rice and potato. Avoid fried stuff. Avoid chocolate, cakes, ice cream, soft drinks and fruit juices. Eat lots of vegetables. Walk for at least 30 minutes a day for 5 days in a week. Medicine and insulin will work better if you follow diet and exercise.

dear, tips to control blood sugar levels are :
1-Losing Extra Weight:-helps lowering blood pressure and cholesterol too. For woman: waist of 80 cm or more & for man: waist of 90 cm or more are at risk
2- Constant and regular food timings :-improves metabolic activity and helps in reducing weight.
3- Split your meals and eating in moderate amount:-, improves your metabolic rate as the food u take is not concentrated at one time.
4- No long Gaps and skipping of meals:-. Never miss out breakfast.
5- No overeating:-Never eat in a bulk on one time .Eat your food slowly, chew well.
6- Proper Exercise and work outs:- Brisk walking for 30 min. atleast five times a week is the best and easiest way of exercising. You can also try Cycling, swimming, dancing. Timings for exercise should be fixed and regular. Avoid heavy exercise. Do not eat right away after a workout .
7-constant and regular timings for medication
8-Avoid fried foods and meat: Limit fats and sweets. Rather choose a variety of foods including whole grains, fresh vegetables, salads, fruits, low fat dairy products.
9- Take high-fibre and complex carbohydrates:-like oats as they are easily broken down to basic sugars. Add whole grain foods in your diet. Avoid carbohydrates like white bread, pasta, pizza , candies, and snacks .Instead include high-fiber carbohydrates like wheat bran, flaxseed and methi seeds to your wheat flour. This will increase fibre in your diet.

Do you feel extremely tired many times in a day? Are you experiencing sudden weight gain, chills at night and hair loss? Is your neck a bit bloated up? If you are experiencing any of the mentioned symptoms, it might be that your body regulator- Thyroid- is unbalanced. Quick 3 tests can help you detect any abnormality - TSH, T3 and T4. Women were three times more likely to be affected by thyroid dysfunction than men. 1 in 10 adults in India suffers from hypothyroidism, with 50 per cent being women.
What is the thyroid gland?
The thyroid is a butterfly shaped gland in the front of the neck. It produces hormones that control the speed of your metabolism - the system that helps the body use energy. Thyroid disorders can slow down or rev up your metabolism by disrupting the production of thyroid hormones. When hormone levels become too low or too high, you may experience a wide range of symptoms.
What are the Symptoms?
Thyroid can be of 2 types - Hyper (Overactive) and Hypo (Underactive) Thyroid.
|
High and Overactive Thyroid | |
| Fatigue | Nervousness | |
| Dry Skin & Hair | Tremors - Hand Shaking | |
| Brittle Hair | Hair loss or thinning hair | |
| Constipation | Diarrhea | |
| Low Pulse | High Pulse | |
| Weight Gain | Weight loss without trying | |
| Intolerance to cold temperature | Intolerance to hot temperature | |
| Depression | Sweatiness | |
| Swelling in lower part of neck | Swelling in lower part of neck |
The swelling in the neck is a major and most significant feature. Hence one should always do the Self Neck Test.
Who should be tested?
Women aged 35 and above or those with symptoms/risk factors/family history are the right candidates for screening. It has been estimated that 75% of the people suffering from thyroid are undiagnosed.
Diagnosing thyroid disorders - A simple blood test can provide an answer. TSH (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone) levels determine thyroid hypo and hyper function as it regulates the work of thyroid gland. Rarely an imaging study or biopsy is needed. Two additional tests may be required - T3 and T4.
What happens if Thyroid remains undetected?
As Thyroid disorders are hormonal imbalances, undetection can lead to a number of secondary complications:
- Obesity
- High Cholesterol and Hypertension
- Hair Fall
- Heart Disease
- Complications in pregnancy

You need to test for HbA1c blood test. And after getting result please consult me I will prescribe the right medicine for you.
Asked for male, 40 years old from Vapi
Mr. Lybrate-user, the problem could be damge to blood vessels supplying to lower limb. To confirm how serious is the problem it is essential to get a colour doppler test as well as angeiography of lower limb vessels. With that it is possible to asses the extent of blood supply. Plus it is vital to have excellent blood sugar control with fasting near 100 mg and pp 150 to 160 mg and hba1c% <7. You are very young, so get these investigations and consult a vascular surgeon along with your diabetologist.

Diabetes affects all organs in the body ? Eyes, kidneys, nerves, reproductive system all are affected, In fact, from toe to hair. For diabetic control, patient and doctor should be in constant touch for regular follow up and advice.
It is not as easy task to control blood sugar in the desired normal range. Whatever we eat is metabolised to sugar in the body to provide energy for our daily activities. For the absolute control, one has to monitor his / her blood sugar at regular intervals (Self-Monitoring of Blood glucose ? SMBG). Though difficult, this can be done by a glucometer and keep a record.
Get an idea of Fasting sugar (FBS) and 2 hours after food (PPBS), & HbA1C (inform me) and check before dinner and after every major food. The basic idea is to reduce the food intake to 1/3 of what you take now. The dictum of sugar control is diet, exercise, diet + medicine and at later stage medicine+ Insulin will be needed. There are different diet plans of varying calories for each person depending on his activity & life style.
For sugar control there is the need for regular advice and follow up. Just one time consultation or advice is not enough to guide a diabetic in scientifically & medically correct manner.

| HYPOTHYROIDISM OR MYXOEDEMA [HYPOTHYROID] |
HYPOTHYROIDISM / MYXOEDEMA Hypothyroidism is a clinical condition, which results from deficiency of thyroid hormones. Hypothyroidism with deposition of mucinous substance in subcutaneous tissues is known as ‘myxoedema`. |
| CAUSES: |
| • Primary thyroid gland involvement. • Lack of pituitary TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone). • Hypothalamic deficiency of TRH (thyrotropin-releasing hormone). • Autoimmune thyroiditis. • Severe iodine deficiency. |
| SIGN AND SYMPTOMS: |
| • Slowing down of mental and physical functions of the body. • Easy fatigability and tiredness. • Sleepiness. • Body ache. • Puffiness of face. • Edema feet. • Weight gain. • Increased sensitivity to cold. • Dryness of skin. • Brittle nails. • Constipation. • Hair fall. • Hoarseness of voice. • Hearing loss. • Tendency for repeated infections. • Muscle cramps. • Shortness of breath. • Anemia. • Mood swings. • Forgetfulness. • Slow speech. • Infertility. • Menorrhagia (profuse menses). • Occasionally rise in blood pressure. |
| DIETARY MANAGEMENT: |
| Avoid: • Avoid goitrogens (food that blocks the utilization of iodine): turnips, cabbage, mustard, cassava root, soybeans, peanuts, pine nuts and millets. Cooking usually inactivates goitrogens. |
| CONSUME: |
| • Increase consumption of iodine, it is an important building block of thyroid hormone: – Sea food, meat, milk and milk, sea plants- kelp, dulse (vegetable sea food) and Japanese sea vegetables. Plants grown in iodine rich soils are also good source of iodine. – Iodized salt is a primary source of iodine. • Increase consumption of copper, selenium and zinc as these minerals are essential for normal thyroid hormone production and metabolism. • Foods rich in copper: – Meat gelatin, eggs, yeast, lamb; pork; pheasant quail; duck; goose; squid; salmon; organ meats. – Soy and soy products, nuts and seeds, beans, legumes; almonds, broccoli, garlic; bran breads and cereals; sea plants and mushrooms. – Dried beans - soy beans, lima beans, baked beans, dried peas; lentils; barley. – Dried fruits including raisins, dates, prunes, avocado, Chocolate. – Some amount of cooper is obtained from cooking in copper vessels. • Foods rich in selenium: – Grains, Brazil nuts, garlic, wheat germ and brewer`s yeast, fish, shellfish, eggs, red meat, chicken and liver. • Food rich in zinc: Good dietary sources of zinc include seafood (especially oysters), beef, oatmeal, chicken, liver, spinach, nuts and seeds. – Meat, poultry and milk, shell fish, crab, shrimp and sea plants etc. – Plant foods are low in zinc, Whole wheat grains provide good amount of zinc. • Increase consumption of Omega-3 fatty acids, one of the PUFA`s (poly unsaturated fatty acids), as it also contributes to normal thyroid function: Fish and fish oils provide excellent forms of omega-3s as well as vitamin A, which improves thyroid receptor binding and thyroid hormone activity. Flax / linseed oil is the richest source of PUFA`s. Other oils that contain PUFA`s are safflower oil, soybean oil, cottonseed oil, maize oil, sesame oil, rich bran oil, ground nut oil, mustard oil and olive oil. • Increase consumption of proteins - tyrosine, an amino acid is a precursor for making thyroid hormone : – Milk and milk products, eggs (is the richest source), Flesh food: meat, fish, and poultry. – Nuts and oilseeds, pulses, cereals. • Mild to moderate exercise is advisable, exercise stimulates thyroid gland function. • Practise yoga, helps in increasing tissue sensitivity to thyroid hormone. |
| CONSULT PHYSICIAN: |
| • If myxoedema presents with complications like cardiac failure or coma consult your physician immediately. Immediate medical attention is necessary. |

Asked for male, 38 years old from Kochi
The first thing you should do is to eat foods that are high in fiber, This is because fiber rich foods absorb uric acid from the blood. Your kidneys then 'throw' out the excess uric acid. Try to eat Oatmeal, Spinach, cauliflowers and Isabgol in milk if possible.
Please use olive oil to cook your food. kindly avoid vegetable oils because they become unhealthy when heated twice. This leads to rancid fat in the body. These destroy vitamin E, that in turn controls uric acid levels. Olive oil also curbs uric acid by itself.
Vitamin C chewable tablets taken 500mg daily lower uric acid levels within 4 to 8 weeks.
Try to stop intake of sweets, cakes and pastries. Saturated fats are bad for you.
Many fruits have got potent anti-oxidant properties, like celery seeds, grapes and tomatoes, and these prevent harmful toxins from attacking your organs - releasing uric acid.

Hi, I am a registered dietitian, certified diabetes educator and a doctor (general physician) who will help you in your diabetes problem.
Do let me know your hba1c value? also you need to provide me your daily food intake details. There are many lifestyle and dietary guidelines that can be followed:
take high fiber prescribed diet which includes soluble fibre like apple, isabgol etc.
Get more physical activity by prescription from a registered dietitian
eat a balanced diet which includes whole grains and excludes all refined products like maida as prescribed by a registered dietitian,
if you're overweight, diabetes prevention may hinge on weight loss. Every pound you lose can improve your health, and you may be surprised by how much. Participants in one large study who lost a modest amount of weight around 7 percent of initial body weight and exercised regularly reduced the risk of developing diabetes by almost 60 percent. I being a registered dietitian and doctor have been successfully helping patients with their diabetes problem. I will also prescribe medicines that will speed up the time to achieve your weight management goals. Do reply back for private consultation.

Your blood sugar seems to be fairly well controlled. A FBS less than 130 and PPBS less than 180 mg/dl if satisfactory for most people. If you are young, say less than 40 years, then a slightly tighter blood sugar level would be ideal. Check your HBA1C and see your average blood sugar.
