Mr. lybrate-user Kumar Thanks for the query. Ideally FBG should be < 100 mg, PP 160 to 170 mg & HbA1c% <6.8. So that is the target you will have to aim. It appears present treatment is not adequate. Plus you also have to look at your food intake and extent of daily exercise. There is nothing low cost food to be bought. Normal regular food made in the house hold is fine. Avoid sweets, deep fried foods, pastries, bakery items, and foods made from maida. Plus avoid colas, alcohol and smoking. Consume more of whole grain flour made rotis or chapatis. Use unpolished rice. Increase the intake of green leafy vegetables and salads as well as fruits. Avoid banana, mango, chikkoo and grapes. Thanks.
