Brief Answer:
The medications you are taking are good enough.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for your query.

You are doing well. Your blood sugar levels are okay. The medications you are taking are good enough looking at your present blood sugar levels.

I would advice you to get HbA1c blood test to know how well controlled is your sugars in the past 3 months.

I hope this answered your query.

Dear Dr.,

As you are aware of my medical condition, can you suggest some natural supplement which can slow down my ageing process - my muscles are now freak, body structure does not represent the way I want to look myself, hairs are falling / greying at much faster rate and general weakness.

Brief Answer:
Try home remedies.

Detailed Answer:
Hi again,

Thanks for your query.

To prevent aging you should have a diet rich in anti-oxidant like purple, red or blue grapes, blueberries, walnuts, broccoli, spinach, carrots, sweet potatoes, green tea etc.

For hair you can try:

- Improve your diet: Includes a good amount of protein rich foods. Leafy vegetables have plenty of vitamin B, Foods enriched with minerals like iron and zinc like liver, chocolate, egg yolks, pumpkin seeds, wheat germ and shellfish. will surely improve your hair growth.

- Hair thickening shampoos: See that the shampoo you use doesn’t have added sulphates and drying agents like alcohol, which causes the hair to break.

- Oil massage: Massaging your hair with coconut, almond, olive or sesame oil can increase blood circulation to the scalp and strengthen the roots of your hair.

Ayurveda product Chyavanprash can be taken 2 to 3 teaspoon full twice daily for weakness.

For more prescription drugs(antioxidants) I would suggest you to discus with your physician.

I hope this answered your query.
