Thanks for the query. Blood glucose level of 246 mg (fasting or PP not mentioned), is very high. It shows there is confirmed diabetes. This needs to be treated with appropriate drugs. So called other remedies do not help in controlling high blood glucose. Along with proper drugs, restricted diet and regular exercise are also equally impportant in achieving good blood glucose control. Ideally when in control Fasting glucose should be < 100 mg, PP 150 to 160 mg & HbA1c% <6.8. It is absolutely essential to achieve good control. Otherwise you are inviting serious long term complications of diabetes affecting all the vital organ systems in the body. As regards the diet you should avoid sweets, deep fried foods, junk foods, pastries, bakery items and food made of maida. Plus avoid colas and alcohol. Increase the intake of green leafy vegetables, fruits and salads. Always use whole grain flour for roti and chapati. Total caloric intake has to be based on your ideal body weight (52 kgs). Thanks.
