Mr. Lybrate-user, to reduce blood sugar levels, apart from appropriate medication, exercise and diet control are equally important. So you have exercise daily for at least 1 hour, brisk walk is a good option. Plus diet should be restricted to give exact calories based on sugar levels, daily exercise and ideal body weight.

Mr. lybrate-user, Thanks for the query.
When diabetes is well controlled, fasting glucose should be around 100 mg or < 100 mg, PP 150 to 160 mg & HbA1c% <6.8. If you have not been able to achieve these levels, then the current treatment is not adequate. Needs to be upgraded. Plus you will have to give a closer look at the diet and exercise being done daily. Because apart from drugs these two play a major role in helping proper glucose control. Thanks.

Hello, Thanks for the query.
I have seen the details given. The glucose levels mentioned are too low and pretty dangerous. There is a need to reduce one of the drugs being taken.

So please discontinue that and then after a week check the FBG & PP glucose. If you have any questions please do ...more
