Empty stomach is causing diabetes. What I should eat or drink to avoid this problem. My age 63. My HBA1C IS 6.0. Whether DATES or green tea or what.

Ans: I'm unable to understand the question. Empty stomach is causing diabetes? How? Do your dugars go up when your stomach is empty? Or do they go down? If they go down, you can eat high fibre fruits or a few nuts/seeds. Avoid dry fruit which is very high in sugar. Also if you are already taking medication, and your Hba1C is 6.0, and you are facing low sugar periods, you may need to reduce your medications.
