Madam, Iam 37 years old hight 5', weight 70 kgs Hba1c 6.3 kindly suggest how to decrease

Ans: An HbA1c between 5.7% and 6.4% is Prediabetes. General diet tips to lower A1C levels include being mindful of portion sizes, regular eating habits, spreading out carbohydrate-rich foods throughout the day, choosing less-processed or whole foods such as whole grains, fruits, vegetables, legumes, and nuts and eating a balanced diet complete with healthy proteins, fats, and carbohydrates. Avoid high fat and sugary foods. Exercise plays an important role in lowering your blood sugar levels by increasing energy expenditure.

Question by SURENDRA - Jan 31, 2023Hindi

Health

I AM 40 YEAR OLD AS WANT TO REDUCE WEIGHT 15 KG CURRENT WEIGHT 88 KG

Ans: Hi Surendra,
I will also need to know your height and any possible ailments to understand if and how much weight loss your body needs. The journey to weight loss is determined after understanding what are reasons behind weight gain, otherwise, random diets and sudden workouts can rather harm the body. You can either write back with more details or visit a naturopath to understand the body issues and recommend a wellness plan accordingly.

Question by Shankar - Jul 19, 2023Hindi

Health

Hi Mam, This is Shankar and 39 years old 69Kg weight and 5.10 height. I have fasting level around 180 and after food 250. Hba1c around 11. Taking metformin 500mg morning and night after food. Doing walking around 3km on morning. Please advise to reduce Hba1c.

Ans: A very high HbA1c can cause serious health problems, including heart disease, kidney disease, and nerve damage. It indicates the need to review your medication dosage and include dietary and lifestyle modifications. Follow a diet with low simple carbs from white bread, maida, sugary foods, etc. Include complex carbs and fiber foods like whole grains, vegetables, fruits, beans, etc. Avoid high fat and high sugar foods like sweets, chocolate cakes, pastries, ice creams and fried foods. Exercises should include aerobic and strengthening exercises.

Question by Dilip - Feb 02, 2024Hindi

Health

I am 59 year old weight 64 kg height 165 cm bmi in control. Before 2021 I was non diabetic and no control over food intake. Since 2023 my Hba1c started increasing and in oct 2023 it was around 9. Since then I have started control food. my FBS in Dec 2023 was 200 and pp2bs was 270 to 300. in jan 2024 I more strict on food intake hence in Jan 2024 my FBS came down to 170 and pp2bs is 190 to 225 in home glucometer. I amnot taking any medicine till now pl adv how can I reduce more by food and life style. I am regular in my excercise and walking from Dilip Agrawal

Ans: Glad to know that you are more conscious of your health and diet. However, a FBS of 170 mg/dl and PP of 190-225 mg/dl is still in an uncontrolled blood sugar level range. Focus on lifestyle modifications like selection of complex carbohydrates like whole grains and legumes. Include high fiber foods like vegetables, fruits, oats, etc. in your daily diet. Avoid the intake of foods high in added sugars and processed foods like cakes, pastries, fried foods, fast foods, chocolates, alcohol, etc. to prevent blood sugar spikes. Maintain at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic physical activity per week. Achieve a healthy weight. Follow a regular exercise regimen and eat at regular intervals.

Ans: It's great to hear that you've already made significant progress in managing your weight and blood sugar levels! Your current HbA1c level of 5.8 is in the prediabetes range.
