First thing a diabetes patient needs to do is lifestyle modification which means doing regular physical exercise, morning walk for at least 30 mins for at least 4 days a week. While having meal, restrict amount of carbohydrates ( rice, sugar, mangoes, banana ) and fat ( oils, butter, mutton) and take plenty of green leafy vegetables. If still your blood sugar is above the target level despite adequate lifestyle modification, you need to take medicines. According to level of blood sugar control, you may need to take more than one diabetes medicines regualrly. Do check your blood pressure, fbs, ppbs, hba1c, urea, creatinine, urine r/e with acr, lipid profile, ecg at 3-4 months interval and report it to your doctor. Never skip your medicines without consultation with your doctor. Stay away from anxiety and stress. Keep your mind refreshed. Always keep a close look at your feet and sole. If you find any ulcers, cuts, numbness immediately consult your doctor. Consult an eye doctor for checking your eyes at least once a year. Hope this helps. Dr. S. Modak.
