Hello Mam !
I am 40 years old .

My HBA1C has been below 6.5 all throughout years while I have been taking Metformin 500 mg BD and Telmisartan 40 md OD .
Last Month all of sudden I had started experience very uncomfortable throughout day with frequent itching all across my body .
Post undergoing all diagnostic Tests my HBA1C came out 13.6
After consulting Physician I am prescribed Sitagliptin plus metformin 500 in Morning and Metformin 1 Gm in Night before meals .
Still not very comfortable. Please guide what should I be doing to keep my diabetes under control ?
Ans: I’m sorry to hear about the discomfort you’re experiencing. Managing diabetes and hypertension together can be challenging.
Dietary changes to focus on include reducing your intake of refined carbohydrates and sugars. Opt for whole grains, vegetables, and legumes. Include plenty of fiber-rich foods like vegetables, fruits, and whole grains to help control blood sugar levels. Incorporate healthy fats from sources like avocados, nuts, and olive oil and avoid sugary foods. Aim for regular exercises with strength training and stay well hydrated. Sleep well and be positive.
