I am a Type 2 Diabetic for more than 10 Years, having HbA1C 6.5, Fasting 85 & PP value between 100 & 140. Presently my weight is 75 Kg having ht. 5'9 1/2". Earlier my weight was 82 Kg & Fasting was 120 & PP more than 180. Since when I have changed my eating habits & controlled over so many parameters that my values are very much satisfactory. Here I would like to say that eat all types of sweets but I have changed my eating regime. Two years back I started examining myself from very close quarters & took Blood Sugars reading whenever I felt an increase in body heat. After lot of experiments I came to the conclusion that I should stop eating Non Veg., Cheese, Butter, Egg Omelette, Paneer, Cold Drinks, Ice Creams, deep fried items. I maintained my daily routine as In the morning Lime Water Juice with Sugar Free, 2 Parathas & 2 Cups of Tea with Sugar Free, after an hour a mug of Milk with no sugar, afternoon having salad comprising of Cucumber, Carrot & Tomato with Green Vegetables & Curds, 3 Chapatis. Evening 2-3 cups of Tea at Office, at night 3 chapatis, salad of Onion, Dal of various kind every day. On holidays/sundays Rice with Rajmah, Lobhiya or Chana. No restriction of rice/chapatis but either of the two & not both together. Earlier I used to go for a morning walk about 5.5 Km but since when there was a severe Ankle ache, I have stopped going for morning walk but in the evening I do go for brisk walk of about 30-35 minutes depending upon availability of time. At night as far as possible I prefer light food & a cup of milk with Bournvita before going to bed. My sleep is about 6 hours but I take my medicines religiously on time, which includes Reclimet, Zeta Plus, CV Met, Telista AMH, Ecospirin 150 & Pivasta 2. It has kept me fit so that I can work for more than 15 hours a day when I am of 67 years. True we have to listen & obey the orders of the Doctor but your own restrictions & help from your better half also gives you astonishing results. Diabetes is not a dreadful disease if handled properly but if taken lightly it is the most dreadful. Choice is yours after all you are the owner of yourself.
