Mr. lybrate-user, Thanks for the query. There is no specific breakfast which lowers blood glucose by itself. Daily breakfast can be - upama, poha, (1 small plate), or 2 idlis with chutny and half cup sambar, 2 small dosas, 1 to 1/2 paratha with curd, like this there can be a variety of things that can be eaten. One can even take Oat cereal or other flakes with milk, plus a fruit. But basically a strict blood glucsoe control has to be achieved qith fasting <100 mg, PP 150 to 160 mg/ 100 ml & HbA1c%<6.8. The PP blood glucose value mentioned (321 mg) is too high. Signifying uncontrolled diabetes. This needs to be brought under control urgently with proper medication, diet control & regular exercise. If you are willing to follow my advise then please come in a private conversation with following details: Fasting, PP (current values) HbA1c%, dietary details, extent of daily exercise and present drugs with dosage, then I will be able to give specific guidelines. Please understand strict blood glucose control is absolutely essential to prevent long term complications of diabetes like retinal problem, peripheral neuropathy, kidney affection and problems with lower limbs and heart. Thanks.

You need to ahve tablet like Volibo with food to reduce sugar absorption. Diabetes, often referred to by doctors as diabetes mellitus, describes a group of metabolic diseases in which the person has high blood glucose (blood sugar), either because insulin production is inadequate, or because the body's cells do not respond properly to insulin, or both. It is a difficult 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 diabetes, hypertension (high BP) and many long-term illness 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. For giving you regular follow up you ask me with all details like your daily eating pattern and medicines you take. I assure you a proper guidance. If you keep in touch personally.
