How To Treat Elevated Sugar Level ?

Hi! My sugar level has been elevated. It was 215 when I got up this morning. I worked out for an hour last night. I did eat a dinner of rice (indian food). My sugar level was 160 when I got back from working out. I am concerned my sugar levels are so high. Please advise.

Diabetologist 's  Response
Hi, I had gone through your query and understood your concerns.

If you are not already diabetic, this is the first time you have found out high sugar levels, Then try out diet and exercise along with blood sugar monitoring every 3 weeks. If on diet and lifestyle modifications also still the sugar levels are persistently higher even after 3 months, then you need to consult a local diabetologist for medication depending o sugar levels then.

The diet and lifestyle modifications to be followed are:

* Avoid single high concentrated meals.
* Small frequent meals more times in a day.
* Food high in fibre content like vegetables, whole pulses, fruits, etc.

Do not eat at all:--
Sugar, jam, syrups, honey, sweets, chocolates, fruit juices, ice creams, cold drinks, glucose drinks, cakes and pastries, sweet biscuits, puddings and protein powder with sugar.
Eat in moderation:--
Bread, chapatis, oat porridge, cornflakes (No sugar), Cheese, butter, Noodles or spaghetti, macroni, Thick soups, Milk & milk products, Chicken, lean meat, fish.

work out daily for 30-40minutes. Brisk walking also helps you. Swimming would be better choice.

Hope this guides you.
Wishing you good health.
