Question by Avik on Mar 10, 2023Hindi

Health

Ma'm I am diabetic for the last 10 years. I regularly take Ryzodec insulin twice (26 units in the morning before breakfast and 14 units in the night before dinner). I also consume high power medicines on a regular basis. For a remedy, I go for morning walk of 40-50 minutes which also consists of mild jogging and running. I stay away from deep fried food/snacks, any kind of snacks. I drink tea without milk and sugar. My morning starts with drinking Chirata( twice a week) and Karela Jamun Juice (Regularly). But even after following this routine on a daily basis my sugar level doesnot come to a satisfactory level; it always stays high and my HbA1C is 9.6. Kindly guide me what to do?

Ans: Hello Avik.. I understand that it’s very disappointing that even after following everything, HbA1c is not controlled.. I suggest you to go for AGM ( ambulatory glucose monitoring) and take proper dose of insulin and other medications.. if you are obese or overweight, weight reduction will help.. Consistency and discipline will help you to achieve better sugar control goals. Thank you.. I will be happy to help you.

Hi, I am 66 years old and my HbA1C is 7.4. My fasting glucose is 145 and PP is 210. I weigh 61 kgs. I walk regularly morning and evening for 45 min each. How to reduce my sugar levels?

Ans: Walking is an excellent aerobic activity which will help in lowering blood sugar levels by increasing your metabolic rate. However, a balanced and healthy diet will help control high blood sugar levels. Make healthy choices of complex carbohydrates like vegetables, whole grains, and fruits, and avoid highly refined carbohydrates like white bread, pasta, and sugary foods which can cause blood sugar spikes. Include protein foods in every meal and eat at regular intervals. Include healthy fats in your diet and follow a regimen of aerobic and weight training exercises.

I am 59 years old and diabetic for last 26 years. Recently my Hb1ac reading is 8.4 & fasting sugar level is 175 I am under medication of GLIMISAVE MV2 at half an hour before breakfast and GLURA M1000 after Breakfast with 3 glasses of water. I take GLIMISAVE MV2 half an hour before Dinner. I am fairly active and walk 4kms everyday without any break. I do have a fondness of sweets and addiction of tea(black & milk tea) without sugar added. My height is 163 cms and weight is 68 kg Please suggest me some remedies to correct my blood sugar level. Thankd

Ans: Managing blood sugar levels through diet is crucial for overall health. Choose foods with a low GI which will cause slower and more gradual increases in blood sugar levels. Examples include whole grains, legumes (such as lentils and chickpeas), non-starchy vegetables (like spinach and broccoli), and lean proteins (such as chicken and fish). Include high-fiber foods which slow down digestion and help stabilize blood sugar levels. Consume protein-rich foods like eggs, lean meat, legumes, etc. Sugary foods and refined carbohydrates (like white bread and sugary snacks) cause rapid spikes in blood sugar, so avoid them. Exercise regularly.

Health

I am 42years old male ,my sugar level is in fasting 112.is it normal or need to take medicine.

Ans: It is a bit on the higher side with normal being 100. It would be a good idea to either check the HBA1C to be a bit more certain, else just try and reduce your carbs as well as over all calorie intake to reduce the fasting sugars. This is of course assuming you are a little overweight. If not, you should see a physician and get some more specific advice.

As per your advise, being a diabetic & pancreatitis patient if I follow to take dinner at 6pm , can I improve gaining weight as I have already lost 11 kg in a year

Ans: While it is a positive intervention as we tend to eat more and digest less if we eat a late dinner, the reason for your weight loss maybe different. You should see a physician soon based on your weight loss alone.

Age 32, diagnosed as hypertriglyceridemia. Tg is 225 for 5 years. No medication taken. No symptoms. Want to know Future complications

Ans: Triglycerides are largely an interplay of their metabolism, diet and genetics. You would benefit from reducing consumption of non fibre carbs, excessive processed foods and fried foods. Would also help to exercise at least 5 days a week. Recheck your lipids after 3 months and see your doctor.

I was advised by one doctor to take Ecosprin AV 75 while two other doctors advised me to stop it as it can be harmful in the long run. My sugar levels are 6.2 Hb1AC and triglycerides 81. Cholestrol levels are also normal.

Ans: Aspirin and Statin are suggested based on the risk for cardiovascular disease. Diabetes is a big risk factor. If you have even one more risk factor, it makes sense to take Aspirin and Statin, to maintain your LDL below 70. You have not mentioned your LDL. I would recommend you get one formal consultation to understand the various risk factors and interventions.

I m taking medicine for diabetic After medicine my sugar level is 120 approx is it ok I have leaver problem stage 3 also Diet is also taken in good condition

Ans: The level is ok as far as fasting sugar goes. It would also help to know the actual liver numbers and the HBA1C , which is the 3 months avg of the sugar levels. That would help understand the level of sugar control better. And sugar control is very important for the liver as well, among other precautions.
