Ans: I am glad to learn that your HbA1c has dropped to 5.7. You must continue the insulin as prescribed by your physician. Fasting may lead to severe hypoglycemia with insulin dosage. You must follow a balanced diet rich in complex carbohydrate and fiber foods like whole grains, beans, pulses, vegetables, fruits, etc. Protein rich foods like lean meat, eggs, low fat dairy products, etc.; are necessary to blunt the blood sugar spikes. Have small and frequent meals. Avoid sweets, high fat foods, aerated water, chocolates. alcohol, etc. Follow daily strengthening and aerobic exercises to increase metabolism and increase lean mass.
