iam 71 years of age. i dont take medicines for diabetes. my latest readings: fasting---- 127.3 mg/dl pp------------175.5 mg/dl HbA1c-------6.4% iam i diabetic. should i start taking medicines. pl advise.

Ans: Hello. These are very good numbers, and you don't need medications. After the age of 70, the goal for Hba1c is under 7. Using medications at this point to reduce HBa1c to 6 may cause episodes of hypoglycemia without giving any long-term benefit.

Hello Sir My Name is Narendar my age is 41 and my weight 83 my hba1c is is 6.6 and average glucose levels 142 Fasting 101 and post lunch 110 and till now iam not using any medicine related to diabetes Pls suggest iam diabetes or not what should I do now

Ans: Based on your HbA1c level of 6.6% and average glucose levels, it appears that you might be in the prediabetes range. It is important to manage your diet and exercise well. Include a good mix of protein, healthy fats, and fiber-rich carbs in your meals. Limit consumption of sodas, juices, and other sugary beverages. Be mindful of portion sizes. Try to eat at regular intervals to maintain stable blood sugar levels and aim for at least 30 minutes of moderate exercise most days of the week. It's important to consult with your family physician for personalized advice.

Ans: Hello Dear.
You are not alone who is not attending offline college. Many students do the same practice yet they are successful.
