Hello doctors, good morning. I am 35 years old female. I had gdm (4 years back) and ever since after delivery my fasting levels are in the range of 100-110 with completely normal pp and gtt levels. My hba1c is 5.5.i have shed down a lot of weight (from 70 to 63 now and ht is 5.1).exercise regularly, totally cut down on carbs, especially at nights. I occasionally eat cakes and ice cream S. How do I bring my fasting levels and dawn phenomenon. My aim is to bring the fasting levels to 80-90 range. Kindly suggest me. I am ready to do anything for this. And should I be worried more about my fasting levels or its fine to keep maintaining this level. How good is berberibe? Will it help me. My physician said its fine as of now and no need to start on any medicine for that.

Your sugar is well controlled ,hba1c 5.5 means very good control. Fasting sugar is normal ,if you want to further lower it take dinner by 8.30 PM ,take a walk after dinner. Eat more vegetables and salad and reduce chapati intake at night.
