Blood Analysis Confirms Diabetes Mellitus. Suggested Further Analysis At Post Prandial Level. Method To Control?

I have just received the results of my BTT blood analysis for Diabetes. In the presence of classical symptoms, these findings confirm Diabetes Mellitus, and a further analysis at the post-prandial level has been suggested to clarify my status . If the status confirms the original finding of Diabetes Mellitus, what forms of proceedings for treatment/control can I expect ?

Hi,
If you are confirmed with diabetes , you need clinical examination by diabetologist/endocrinologist for any target organ damage,this includes kidney function test, thyroid profile ,lipid profile ,eye check for any retinopathy damage and glycosylated hemoglobin to know the 3 months status of blood sugar

You require
1) diabetic diet 1800kcal low triglyceride diet ( to get from dietician)
2) oral drugs ( Oral hypoglycemic drugs are used only in the treatment of type 2 diabetes which is a disorder involving resistance to secreted insulin. Type 1 diabetes involves a lack of insulin and requires insulin for treatment. There are now four classes of hypoglycemic drugs:

Sulfonylureas
Metformin
Thiazolidinediones
Alpha-glucosidase inhibitors

3) Insulins

4) regular exercise walking 30 minutes 5 days in a week

Decision of which drug to be started depends on your age ,weight and the above mentioned investigation based on which your treating doctor has to decide.
