Suggest Treatment For Controlling Sugar Level

My blood sugar was recently 6.2 at fasting, then the doctor suggested that I do the glucose tolerance test. My fasting result came out to be 6.8 before the drink and 7.3 after. My blood sugar level was kind of fluctuated in the past two years, sometimes at the border line and sometimes out of range. I am 65 and exercise regularly and live a pretty healthy lifestyle. Am seeking naturally ways to control my blood sugar. Is lemon juice with water going to help?

Hi, thank you for posting.

I have gone through your query and I understand your concerns.

To control blood sugar level you should follow these guidelines:
1. Reduce the amount of carbohydrates on your diet by reducing the amount of bread, desserts and potatoes that you eat.
2. Reduce the amount of fruits that contain a lot of sugar.
3. You can drink lemon juice because it lower the level of glucose and cholesterol in blood.(Do not drink high amounts of lemon juice because it can cause gastritis).
4. Eat a lot of green fruits and vegetables.

I hope this answer is helpful.

All the best.
Dr. Behar.
