Potassium Citrate Health Feed

Mr. Lybrate-user, lemon water is fine, can be taken by a person with diabetes. Adding sugar free powder is also fine. But what is worrying is her blood glucose level of 300 mg, which is definitely very high. When diabetes is in control fbs should be closer to 100 mg, ppbs- 170 to 180 mg & hba1c% <7. So please see that her glucose levels are brought to necessary ones. Thanks.

I am sorry to hear about your concern but will be happy to assist you.
Sugar-free foods may play a role in your diabetes diet, but remember that it's equally important to consider carbohydrates as well. A sugar-free label means that one serving has less than 0.5 grams of sugar.

No, its not good. Instead you avoid sweet things like cake, chocolates, mithai etc. Otherwise in milk or tea its 2-3 spoons of sugar in whole day which is not much. For weight loss first of all you should change your eating habits like
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...more

For diabetes. Sugar free tab is not a cure. It taken for taste only. Even if you don't take no problems. For dm. Try to reduce amount of food by some 10 %. Walk 45 min covering 4 km daily. Please do fbs. Ppbs after 20 days.

Thank you for your query.
First thing I would like to know if you are under any current medication for hypothyroidism.
If yes then what dose you are taking.
Thirdly I would like to know your age and any other treatments or diseases you are having now.
Yes very well you can take the supplement for vitamin b12 deficiency.
I would like to add one more thing that usually there is calcium and hemoglobin deficit in hypothyroid patients. So you may do serum calcium and hemoglobin.more

Hello Sir,
By sugar, I presume you mean diabetes.
Type-2 diabetes in about 50 percent of people is asymptomatic- that means they do not have any symptoms. It is found out incidentally by doing blood glucose test for some other reason. In about 50 percent, the patients have symptoms like loss of weight, increased hunger and thirst, increased urination, tiredness, skin problems etc.
To prevent getting diabetes you need to consume a good healthy and well balanced diet with plenty of veg...more
