Hi, timely and balanced diet is as important as regular medicine intake to control diabetes. Yoi should go for 30 minutes brisk walk in the morning. Take lukewarm water with half spoon methidana powder in the morning. Include complex carbohydrates and fibre rich food in your diet. Loose your extra weight this will not only lower your blood but also helps lowering your blood pressure cholesterol too. No long gapes and skipping of meals. Never miss out breakfast. Take small and frequent meals.

Mr. Lybrate-user nath, it appears that present anti - diabetes treatment is not adequate. There needs to be an additional drug or total change of therapy. Plus you also have grade 1 obesity with 30.67 kgs/m2 bmi, which also contributes to high blood glucose. Any operative procedure is under taken only when blood glucose is below 200 mg/100 ml. You have not mentioned bp reading. Are you doing regular exercise like walking for at least 1 hour a day and some muscle strengthening activity daily? in addition to tablets diet control and exercise are very important for getting better control of blood glucose. Thanks.
