Mr. lybrate-user, thanks for the query. From the given information it is clear that you had fairly high blood glucose and hba1c%. It is good to know that you have been able to achieve a fairly good control. Ideally at your age fasting glucose should be < 100 mg & pp <150 mg & hba1c%< 6.5%. This is essential because high blood glucose affects all the vital organs and can lead to a number of long term complications associated with diabetes. Usually once diabetes sets in it is almost impossible to control blood glucose only with diet restriction, exercise and weight management. Most often oral anti-diabetes drugs are needed including metformin and others. Therefore, I am not sure whether you will be able to maintain normal blood glucose only with diet and exercise. However, if you are bent on doing so, may try it for a few days or weeks and observe. If the glucose levels remain as mentioned above, then you may continue with out medication. I hope what I have written is clear. If you have any questions please do come back. Thanks.

U need to continue medicines as your fasting blood sugar is still high. Follow diabetes diet which simply means eating the healthiest foods in moderate amounts and sticking to regular mealtimes. A diabetes diet is a healthy-eating plan that's naturally rich in nutrients and low in fat and calories. Key elements are fruits, vegetables and whole grains. U can take (moderate amount) grapes. Apples. Berries. Citrus fruits. Papaya. U should avoid sugar-sweetened beverages. Sugary beverages are the worst drink choice for someone with diabetes. Trans fats sugar, cake, pastries mithai/sweets chocolate fruits like mango, litchi etc. White bread, pasta fruit-flavored yogurt. Sweetened breakfast cereals. Flavored coffee drinks. Honey 1. Don't take tea empty stomach. Eat something like a banana (if you are not diabetic) or soaked almonds or any seasonal fruit. No only biscuits or rusk will not do. 2. Take your breakfast every day. Don't skip it. 3. Have light meals every 2 hours (in addition to your breakfast, lunch n dinner) e.g. Nariyal paani, chaach, a handful of dry fruits, a handful of peanuts, seasonal fruit, a cup of curd/milk etc 4. Finish your dinner at least 2 hours before going to sleep. 5. Maintain active life style 6. Avoid fast foods, spicy n fried foods 7.take a lot of green vegetables n fruit. 8.

Do it 2-3 times a week with at least 48 hours in between 2 sessions. Homeopathy offers good results. For more details you can consult me.
