Hi sir today my mother s checked hba1c result is 8 how to avoid food fr diabetes pls reply glucose is 182 post prandial 229.

Question

Hello, thanks for the query. I have seen the details mentioned. Hba1c% 8% means diabetes is not in good control. Even the fasting & pp glucose levels are high. However, you have not given any information on her weight, height, dietary pattern, extent of daily exercise, lipid levels, age, serum creatinine & urea as well as her bp. Further there is no information on current treatment with dosage. I suggest please come back with all the important information preferably in a private conversation then I will be able to give specific advise and also recommend some drugs if required. So please do come back with all the necessary information. Thanks.
