Thanks for contacting HCM. dear patient it is very important to change your diet so as to control blood sugar and cholesterol. diet and exercise are the main stay of diabetes control. Please try following measures:-
1. If you are obese try to loose weight as it will help tremrndously.
2. Eat frequent small meals at three hours intervals.
3. Avoid starchy, fried, sugary, fast and junk food.
4. Avoid white rice and white bread.
5. Eat plenty of fresh vegetables, salads and fruits(avoid very sweet fruits if your blood glucose levels are very high).
6. Eat nuts regularly especially almonds.
7. Eat fish( either baked, boiled or roasted) at least three times a week.
8. use olive oil for cooking.
9. Exercise regularly especially aerobic activities like walking.
10. Sleep for 6-8 hours daily.
11. Take skimmed unsugared milk, curd and yogurt regularly.
12. Avoid red meat.
your blood sugar is high and you need medication for it. I would suggest that you start with metformin 500 mg SR twice daily 15 mins before meals. As your pp sugar levels are not very high so this drug will not cause hypoglycaemia as is the risk in your case with use of other drugs.
Rusuvas is good drug please continue it. Your cholesterol will come done with it, along with diet control, also as your blood glucose levels will come under control your triglycerides levels will also fall. Regards
