Ans: Managing Type 2 diabetes effectively, especially with an HbA1C of 8.2%, requires a combination of medication, diet, exercise, and lifestyle adjustments. As your glucose levels are still high, your doctor may need to adjust your dosage or add new medications. For dietary modifications, limit white rice, bread, and sugary foods. Opt for whole grains, legumes, and fiber-rich vegetables. Include lentils, tofu, nuts, and seeds to help stabilize blood sugar. Avocados, olive oil, and nuts can improve insulin sensitivity. Observe portion control and incorporate exercise & physical activity. Strength training improves insulin sensitivity and muscle glucose uptake. Drinking plenty of water helps flush excess glucose from the bloodstream.
