Having Diabetes. High Triglycerides And Low HBA1C. Can I Take Revital Capsules?

I have been diagnosed with diabetes 5 months earlier when my BG was 200 post prandial and around 160 fasting. I am not taking medicines as one of the consulting docs had noticed difference within a week of diet planning and exercise. I have stopped sugars and high carbs but do consume rice or wheat as staple food, started with beans and pulses, fish oil (3000mg a day) or 100g of salmon, nuts (walnuts, almonds and pistachios), loads of salads, occasionally I feast (burgers or fries). My HBA1C has come down 1% in 3 months from 8.9% to 7.9% (63 mmol/L), also my triglycerides are high (reducing gradually with walks). I quit smoking almost a year ago (after 17 years of smoking), and was never diagnosed with diabetes, its only after I quit, I starting getting withdrawal symptoms such as hunger, thirst etc... I want to know without medication is it possible to reverse (as most of the research says), also want to know if I can take revital capsules (which I had started taking after I quit smoking but stopped after I came to know about my diabetes). Hope I didn t ask too much and get a good response. Thanks in advance!

Hello, I have gone through your query and understood your concern. You are doing really good by taking care of diet and exercise plans. Knowing that you have diabetes diagnosed only 5 months ago you have high chance of becoming normal by maintaining the same controlled diabetic diet. Yes, you can take revital capsules. Eating bitter gourd would be healthy for your pancreas and for diabetes. Add flax seed which would help you decrease triglycerides. If you would like to go for medical treatment try using meds for decreasing TG and HBA1C levels and then you can stop and maintain later through diet. Hope it helped you. Thank you.
