I am 53 years male having diabetes for the last 20 years. Now I am frequently getting low sugar. Hence I reduced the insulin in take. It may be due to the Ayurveda medicines also which I am taking for last six months. What should be the normal sugar level in fasting, PP and at random? So that I can still reduce the insulin and switched over to tablets.

For diabetes follow a diet low in carbohydrate, low in salt, low in fat and high in fibre. Avoid bakery products. Avoid too much rice and potato. Avoid fried stuff. Avoid chocolate, cakes, ice cream, soft drinks and fruit juices. Eat lots of vegetables. Walk for at least 30 minutes a day for 5 days in a week. Medicine and insulin will work better if you follow diet and exercise. Normal fasting is 80-130, PP is less than 180 and random is less than 200.
