Recently I got my blood test done and my Hb1AC is 6, Fasting Sugar is 120 .I take regular banana shake and egg in the morning and there after I eat four meal. Kindly advice whether I should take medicine for diabetes and stop taking banana shake. Thanks.

For FBS of 120 mg/dl, no need to start Antidiabetic Medication, continue your exercises and cut short intake of Banana shake a bit, Eat on regular interval with Split meal, i.e Don't eat more at a time, split the quantity and I break of 2-3 hours.

Hi, Continue what you are doing. You are normal but start the active life what you use to do before like walking and swimming. Take care.

Hello, Do not stop with the medicines. Replace banana shake with oats porridge and check. I do think banana shake can five you a problem, unless you add extra sugar to it.
