At 59, Worried About My High Blood Sugar. Should I Change Medication?

Ans: The reason for high post-prandial sugar is usually what u have eaten in the meal.

Try and reduce the carbs(roti/rice/bread) and include more protein in the meal.

Also, post meal 15-20min of relaxed walk also helps in managing the post-prandial blood sugars, along with the dietary changes

Ans: Nothing wrong with the medication
Please increase your physical activity. Unless you do regular phtsical. Activity, the sugar levels will not be regulated.

Ans: Your blood sugar levels and HbA1c (5.8%) fall within the prediabetes range, meaning you’re at risk of developing diabetes but still have the opportunity to manage it through lifestyle changes before needing medication. Prioritize fiber-rich foods like whole grains, legumes, nuts, seeds, and green vegetables to improve insulin sensitivity. Limit refined carbs (white bread, pastries, processed foods) and sugar (sweets, sugary drinks) to prevent spikes. Increase healthy fats like avocado, walnuts, and olive oil, and opt for lean proteins. Eat balanced meals with complex carbs, fiber, protein, and healthy fats to stabilize blood sugar. Exercise regularly and have regular check-ups to monitor progress.
