Hi Dr, I want to know how to control sugar for my mother age is 50 yrs, nd fasting blood sugar 179 nd post prandial sugar 215, pls let me know how to prevent sugar.

Question

Mr. lybrate-user, Thanks for the query. Once diabetes develops it is almost impossible to get rid of it. There has to be a proper treatment with specific drugs, diet control and regular exercise. Since there is no mention of her glucose levels (fasting & PP), HbA1c%, dietary pattern extent of daily exercise, weight, height, lipid profile & BP readings, there is no way to suggest anything. Please come back with all the necessary details and that too in a private conversation (paid consultation), then I will be able to guide. As regards prevention, it is possible to prevent diabetes (before it sets in), by strict weight control, regular exercise and taking healthy balanced diet and avoiding sweets, junk foods, pastries, bakery items, colas and foods made from maida. Thanks.
