Now my confusion is at this stage can I control my sugar levels only with diet exercise weight management or should i compulsorily take tablet. I have got this through genetic.. Tablets mandatory or lifestyle management is reversible.. Please help

Ans: Type 2 Diabetes is a lifestyle disorder. Genetic component need to be tackled through epigenetics that is living over the genetics with a lifestyle modification. Looking at your HbA1C as 8.5 you need work hard to bring in the dietary discipline and moderate intensity exercices
Give it all your try for three months. Meet a functional nutrition. Parallel keep checking your sugar levels
