Welcome to Healthcare Magic
Good Day
Being a Diabetic, your Blood Sugar isn't under control at all. Your fasting must be as close as possible to 126 and after meal glucose after 2 hours must be less than 140. You need to increase the dosage for sure. Also I hope you are not consuming high carbohydrate diet like rice, idlis, dosas. Please keep carbohydrate diet to the minimum. Banana also a rich carbohydrate source. Stick to eating minimal of rice, more of wheat, more of pulses, cereal, green leafy vegetables. Yes, Bitter gourd has shown some effect in moderately reducing blood sugar values but nothing has been in standard documentation yet. Exercise everyday for 40 minutes with brisk walking. Consult your Doctor and get your drugs changed if he advises.

Hi,Saritaji,thanks for query.Bitter gourd can not help to lower your sugar.There are 2 key things for control of diabetes from your side,the first one is diet control and proper diet planning and another one is regular exercise.Diet help to reduce the sugar intake and exercise helps to burn sugar and makes the drug more effective.Please after doing this talk to your doctor about optimization of drugs you are taking.bye.
