Hello.Welcome to HCM forum.You must be sure whether you are suffering from type 1 or type 2 diabetes because treatment becomes different in both type of diabetes.you must be investigated for GAD antibodies which confirm type 1 DM and are labelled as LADA ( latent autoimmune diabetes in adults). Type 1 DM is treated by inj. Insulin while type 2 by oral anti diabetic drugs.Although even if you are type 2 diabetic,you will require early intervention by inj. Insulin.Whatever the mode of treatment,you must ensure a meticulous control of your blood sugar levels to avoid future complications.Do regular exercises and keep strict control on your diet and weight.Thanks and good luck.

Hi Varun,

Welcome to HCM.
First of all get this very clear in your mind that diet alone will not be able to control your diabetes. You will need anti diabetic drugs.
Never omit to take your tablets and never take it in fasting state of long period.
Whenever you have fever or other disease condition your drug dosage may need adjustment.
Avoid all kinds of starch containing fruits and sweets. You may have dry fruits. Avoid root storage vegetables such as potatoes though you may have carrot.
Restrict your starch intake. Wheat is preferable to rice. Tomatoes are good. Use fresh green vegetables, preferably raw or boiled but without much oil.
Do regular light exercise such as morning stroll.
Do not ignore even minor wounds. Immediately wash the wound with soap and water and preferably antiseptic solution and consult a doctor.
Wish you all the best.
