I am currently a boarder line diabetic....I do not want to start pills. I am 57 years old. I have a family history if diabeties. Is there a "natural" tea etc that can waylay the pills? Thanks, Linda YYYY@YYYY Currently the doc wants me to lose 10 pounds and increase exercise to 150 min's a week....I currently weigh 147 and I'm 5' 4" tall. My cholestrol is also high....I currently take meds for that. My blood if 5.6 (test for being a diabetic?) I feel so bad because I really try hard to eat properly etc....any suggestions would be appreciated!!!!!
First of all, you need to do laboratory tests to confirm diabetes, which include: fasting blood sugar, random blood sugar, 2 hours postprandial HbA1c. Another important point to consider is that, there is no cure for diabetes. All the treatment methods including life style changes, diet and drugs to lower and control blood sugar AIM to slow the progress and prevent the hazards of diabetes.
I hope I have answered your query. Let me know if you have any further questions. Take care.
