So for diabetes stop or restrictions of sweet, sugars or similar foods. No out side foods all home made low calorie simple foods. Take vegetables more gourds less underground. More bottle gourd, snake gourd etc. Brown rice, breads, whole grains, whole whaet 2 pcs chapati helpful. No sleep in afternoon, light walking in morning or even at home as possible. Normal regularly exercises or mild activities helpful but limited in old age. Timely eating & sounds sleep, nonstress. Bp - no or very very less salt, no tension, sound sleep as possible, timely follow up all. No spicy or fried or garam masala based foods. No street or junk, fast foods. Simple 50/gm rice or better 2-3 pcs of roti, sabji, sour curd, chana, egg white etc. Milk can be taken if not lactose intolerance.

Dear lybrate-user, no doctor wants to operate the patient when sugar is high. You've to check fasting, post lunch sugar and hba1c and visit a diabetologist in your area who'll decide about the line of treatment appropriate to your mom's profile. Doctor may suggest insulin for a short period. Also monitor bp with home machine and remember to inform the doctor if mom is taking aspirin. Aspirin needs to be stopped 2 days prior to surgery until one day post surgery. Regards.
