Hi,
Welcome to Healthcare Magic Forum.
I have gone through your Query & I really appreciate your concern about the problem you are facing.

As a physician I would like to tell you that there is never a alternative to the medication while controlling blood sugar and blood pressure. It is very nice of you that you have kept it under control might be due to combination of Exercise and Diet control.

But, I would also like to tell you that you have to take periodic blood tests to make sure that your sugar is under control and I would urge to you that you should visit a physician as there could be several internal damages to the body when the sugar is uncontrolled without the medication.

Thanks for Trusting & Posting your Query on this forum.
Hope this will help you. Feel free to ask any further question.
Have a nice Day.

Regards,
Dr.Abhijeet
