Tablets (oral)
My mom who is 64 years was recently diagnosed with diabetes type2 and has her sugar level reading 30.4
and currently on admission at the hospital. she was also diagnosed with high blood pressure reading 164/95 and will
need the support and ideas about how community members managed heir diabetes.

Thank you for your help.
 
welcome. Most of us manage our type 2 by reducing the food that raises glucose (sugar). And that is carbohydrates. That means bread, rice, pasta, potato, pastry, cereals, flour, dried or liquid fruit, tropical fruit as well as sugar itself. Some do it quite drastically quite quickly. Some edge their way down. Depends on if your mum is on medication and If so which one the best approach to it. Getting the diabetes under control this way almost always helps with other parts of the metabolic syndrome of high blood pressure, high weight (especially around the belly), high triglycerides and often other conditions too. There’s lots of links in my signature below in red.

If your mum is comfortable online send her our way directly. If not stick around and pass on what you can learn here.
