High Fasting Blood Sugar Diagnosed. AC1 Lowered. How To Control The Sugar Levels?
Question: Hi, my fasting blood sugars is 128, I am not on medication.I was diagonised with 434 reading two years back, was on medication for 8 months then my AC1 lowered to 4.8% and slowly my medications were reduced to nill, from past 1 year I am controlling by diet and exercise. I was on oral medication then, type 2. My hba1 has been 5.8% -6.6% range.
Hello XXXXXXX
Thanks for the query.
It is good that you are controlling your sugar levels by diet and exercises.
Your fasting sugar level is slightly high but you have not mentioned about your PP sugar levels.
Your HBA1c levels are also desirable.
You must keep up with your diet and exercise regime but must always keep a watch on your sugar levels and monitor them at regular intervals.
Simultaneously get a lipid profile also done.
The moment you find that sugar levels are getting out of control,you should immediately start with oral anti diabetic drugs.
Please also get an eye check up also done.
Please revert to me for any further query on this issue.
Best of luck.
Thanks

Hello
After going through your reports I feel that your sugar levels are definitely slightly deranged.
To prevent longterm micro as well as macro complications,your sugar levels should be tightly controlled.
I advocate use of medicine like METFORMIN 500 mg twice daily.
Talk to your physician regarding this.
Thanks
