Can I Control My Diabetes With Exercise And Proper Diet?
Hi Doctor,
My age is 47 and I am a male. My query is my fasting blood sugar is aroung 114 and PPBS around 160 but the so called 3 months average is 7.2. Am I a diabetic still? Whether I can control this with regular exercise and diet rather than with medicince?
Kindly reply

HI Dear i can understand your concern.
The cut off value for average value is 6.5%
usually more than 6.5%is diagnosed as diabetes.But still you can do diet and exercise for 3 months and check for average sugar again.
if the value is decreasing then you can continue diet and exercise
get back to me for further information
