Hello thanx for using hcm
sir, with just one reading of fasting and post prandial you cannot judge , it will be better if do your GTT once.
But with the above readings you can manage with diet control and exercise.
Consume small meals rather than 3 big meals.
Avoid refined cereals, juices, sweets, sweetened drinks.consume whole grains and fibre rich diet.
Include healthy proteins in all meals , eat plenty of vegetables and 2 -3 servings of fruits daily.
Avoid feasting.
Go for regular exercise minimum of 45 min daily.
