General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hi,
Thanks for posting your question in HCM.
I understand your concern.
Type II diabetes cannot be cured but can be effectively controlled in the following ways:
1. Drugs: Oral hypoglycemic drugs with or with out insulin.
2. Diet: Less carbohydrate, moderate fat and higher protein and fibre diet.
3. Exercise: In the form of brisk walk or moderate exercise/yoga for at least 40 minutes in a day.
4. Emotions: Avoiding unnecessary worries and keeping the mind calm through practice of meditation.
All these things needs to be done on a regular basis for good control of blood glucose, which needs periodic monitoring through biochemical investigations like Fasting glucose, Post-prandial glucose and Glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) measurements.
The dosage of medications and diet plan can be modified accordingly based on the response to the above measures when undertaken properly.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
