Good evening mam..my husband ‘s fasting blood sugar is 165 and pp is 270 .He diagnosed as diabetic person, he is taking medicine from 2 june19 . He is 46 years old, hight 5.9 feet , wieght,82 kg. I’m asking u ki Vo medicine band karke Aap ka diet plan follow kar sakte h
Hi Bhanu , see the sugar levels you have mentioned are border line high and could be controlled with diet and workout. But because he has already started medicines , it is best to not stop them . you can ask him to follow this diet and workout on regular basis , and once his blood sugar drops , the doctor will go on rediucing the medicine dosaeg and will eventually stop it.
gOING OFF THE MEDICATIONS ABRUPTLY IS NOT A WISE MOVE.

Hi Kevin , see in type 1 diabetes if you body is not able to produce any insulin at all, then it is difficult to come off insulin . see i do not want to give impracticle answers to you . but you can manage your diabetes well with insulin shots and good diet, this will help you libve a very normal and healthy life.
