Dear friend .. Greetings from HCM... Please note that once you are diabetic you are diabetic lifelong you can only control the sugar levels but cant treat it !!! so please accept this fact and continue your medications ... please note that lifestyle changes/ non pharmacological management is also equally important in maintaining the sugar levels ... first you need to get your lipid profile, microalbuminuria and HbA1c checked. your medications are sufficient for time being if you are committed for lifestyle changes.. first stay away from all the fast / processed / and fried food stuffs .. divide your meal in to 4-5 parts per day whenever you feel hungry.. add more of fiber rich food stuffs like green leafy vegetables, raw fruits.. (not juices), eat very less of carbohydrates (rice) avoid sugar completely.. take Millets and breads prepared out of it like ragi.. ragi is a very good source of calcium too...do take more of proteins ... like egg white... say no to oils and cholesterol rich food stuffs ... u can take fish (boiled) but chicken (without skin) rarely...sir, based on this you prepare your diet chart and strictly follow it ..Do exercise .. walk at least half an hour to one hour a day ... try and practice yoga and pranayama ... some aasanas are very easy to practice and also beneficial. Quit smoking and reduce your alcohol intake. Moreover, beet root juice (inorganic nitrate), olive leaves, garlic, termeric, tamarind also have proven benefits. if u can follow these (have to!!) you can definitely see difference yourself by the time you have your next blood investigation report in two months ...ALL THE BEST
