Kindly advise whether it is necessary at this range of fasting sugar?

Sir i am diabetic from last 20 years i am taking medicine but fasting sugar does not come in control and comes as 175-180 however random readings and after 2 hours sugar readings are well in control around 135-145. sir suggest what to do

Ans: It’s essential to address high fasting blood sugar levels and manage your diabetes effectively. Discuss your fasting blood sugar levels and any other symptoms you may be experiencing with your family physician. Focus on a balanced diet with whole grains, lean proteins, and vegetables. Avoid table sugar, honey, jams, fruit juice, and candy. Limit white bread, sweets, fast foods, alcohol, chocolates and processed foods. Regular physical activity can help regulate blood sugar levels.
