Ok
Your fasting value is just under normal recommendation however the post lunch value seems slight elevated.
I mean, the values don't fall under diabetes margin but you probably have prediabetes.
I would suggest you to start a low sugar (calorie) diet regimen and
start exercises.
you can get glucose tolerance test and Hba1C test done say after 3 months.
And need to have any food restrictions..as cut rice taking ete...
Yes, I recommend that you follow the same regimen as a diabetic patient would do.
You don't need medicine, however it is important to follow dietary and exercise regimen to prevent / delay diabetes from setting in.
Have you followed what I suggested?
Do you have any questions.
Yes..i got it doctor..
Is there any question?
What type of food you recommamd doctor.
Any diet that has excess sugar need to be avoided.
More then considering the type of food to be taken or to be avoided
you should plan your daily regimen
to make sure the calorie content is low and it has more fibres in it.
A general diabetic diet would consist of a glass of water early in the morning, not more than 2 idli/dosa for breakfast. Alternatively
a breakfast made from rava, millets, oat meal can be taken.
Lunch should minus not more than one bowl of rice. Chapathi or roti, vegetables, rasam and curd. No deserts, ice cream or dressed salad.
Pickles and papads should also be restricted.
Coffee and tea is ok as long as the sugar content is very low.
Prefer to drink sugarless tea/coffee.
Not more than one fruit a day. You can choose from wide range of low glycemic food.
Dinner preferably should be made from wheat and whole grain cereals.
Non vegetarian diet are accepted. Avoid red meat and liver.
This is a general diet for diabetes.
you can discuss about your individual preference with a dietician.
Have you followed?
Yes , Doctor. Than you.
Do you have any more questions?
At present no , Doctor..Thank you..
Thanks for consulting me.
Bye for now.
Are you there?
