No you should not take this. There are other ways to reduce weight. Follow this 1. Don't take tea empty stomach. Eat something like a banana (if you are not diabetic) or any seasonal fruit or soaked almonds and a glass of water first thing in the morning (within 10 mins of waking up). No only biscuits or rusk will not do. 2. Don't overeat 3. Take your breakfast every day. Don't skip it. U should eat whatever your mother or grandparent eat in bfast. I mean to say whatever is your traditional food...more

Hello, Thanks for the query.
The details given are unclear. Since there is no mention of actual fasting, PP glucose levels,& HbA1c% there is no way to give any suggestions. Because by saying " sugar level & HbA1c5 are in good control" I do not understand what is considered as normal. thanks.

Anybody who is a diabetic can be started on insulin at any stage of the disease. Insulin is always given to a patient in a customised manner and there is no set dose for starting or continuing insulin. So you need to follow up with the doctor in person for setting your insulin dose.

1 Holy Basil (tulsi) leaves
The leaves of holy basil are packed with antioxidants and essential oils that produce eugenol, methyl eugenol and caryophyllene. Collectively these compounds help the pancreatic beta cells (cells that store and release insulin) to function properly and increase sensitivity to insulin. An added advantage is that the antioxidants present in the leaves help beat the ill effects of oxidative stress.
Tip: Consume two to three tulsi leaves whole or about one tablesp...more

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.

Mr Lybrate-User, thanks for the query.
Your glucose levels mentioned (fasting & pp) both confirm that you have diabetes. Please check hba1c%, that will help in knowing how well is the control after starting treatment.
Even after taking gliclazide and metformin (80 + 500 mg once a day), blood glucose is not controlled, means the current treatment is inadequate. There is a need to upgrade it. Plus give a closer look at diet, exercise and weight. With bmi of 26.44 kgs/sq meter (normal < 23 ...more

Your fasting is well controlled but pp is slightly higher advice you to switch medicines that's take diamicron in the morning before breakfast and vildapride 50/1000 after dinner as metformin (1000) if taken once a day it is better take either with or just after meals
continue brisk walking (.about 120 steps per minute) for 45 minutes a day for atlest 5 days a week and there should not be a gap of more than 48 hours in between exercise days.
