Recently my Hb1ac reading is 8.4 & fasting sugar level is 175 I am under medication of GLIMISAVE MV2 at half an hour before breakfast and GLURA M1000 after Breakfast with 3 glasses of water. I take GLIMISAVE MV2 half an hour before Dinner. I am fairly active and walk 4kms everyday without any break. I do have a fondness of sweets and addiction of tea(black & milk tea) without sugar added. My height is 163 cms and weight is 68 kg Please suggest me some remedies to correct my blood sugar level. Thankd

Ans: Managing blood sugar levels through diet is crucial for overall health. Choose foods with a low GI which will cause slower and more gradual increases in blood sugar levels. Examples include whole grains, legumes (such as lentils and chickpeas), non-starchy vegetables (like spinach and broccoli), and lean proteins (such as chicken and fish). Include high-fiber foods which slow down digestion and help stabilize blood sugar levels. Consume protein-rich foods like eggs, lean meat, legumes, etc. Sugary foods and refined carbohydrates (like white bread and sugary snacks) cause rapid spikes in blood sugar, so avoid them. Exercise regularly.
