I am 62 years old my sugar levels fasting 92 PP 81 HbA1C 6.3. Till date I have not taken any medicine for sugar. Am to start taking medicine for sugar now onwards. Thank you

Ans: HbA1c of 6.3 indicates prediabetes. To bring down your blood sugar levels, opt for foods with a low glycemic index (GI) to minimize blood sugar spikes like whole grains, bulgur, barley, oats, beans, and lentils. Include high-fiber foods include fruits, vegetables, beans, and whole grains. Avoid foods and beverages high in added sugars, and fat. Reducing portion sizes can help manage calorie intake and maintain a moderate weight and regular physical activity improves insulin sensitivity.
