Hi Mohan ,
do you have a glucometer at home ? if yes , then you can go ahead with this plan . check your BSL daily . and note it down for your records . at the end of the week go meet the doctor an show him the readings with the medicine dosage . if he says that you can continue this way , good. if the levels are actually maintained well, you can also further lessen the dosage . but only if the doctor allows.

However from the last week, I have started to take walk for an hour every morning. Am I developing diabetes?

HI Urvi ,
Generally at your age when people develop diabetes , doctors start with oral medication. have you done any other tests ? I am sure you doctor must have seen something and thats why immdiately took you on insulin shots. If not , please take a second opinion from a good diabetologist / endocrinologist.

there is no side effect of taking insulin . it is a hormone and has important functions in the body metabolism . it will not have any harming effect on your child, just that you being a diabetic , he might develop diabetes when he grows up if a healthy lifestyle is not followed . but the chances are 50 – 50 .

Hi
By ‘blood sugar level 9’ you probably mean HbA1C level. Is that correct? Or else, what’s the unit mentioned ? Like in “weight 200 grams” the ‘grams’ is the unit. Do tell us.
I am in canada n here its not like india we check it is by no 4 5 6 so mine is 9.
