I am 85 years old and lead a careful life.
I start the day with 2 glasses of water in empty stomach. Then around 8 AM I have breakfast
which is usually brown bread in small quantity with lentil curry or/ and coconut curry
A cup of tea using fat free milk and without sugar at 10 AM.
Eat for lunch a small quantity of red rice, plenty of vegetables and fruit and a small piece of sugar free or dark chocolate daily. I have a short sleep in the afternoon for about 1 hour.
I have a cup of tea using fat free milk and without sugar at 4 PM.
Dinner is around 7 PM with small quantity of red rice and plenty of vegetables ( 2 days of the week we have pasta made of red rice and 2 days dosa an Indian flour based food). After dinner I take ½ a tablet (Dionil) for blood sugar. I sleep around 10.30 PM and wake up at 6 AM.
My sugar is tested every day around 6.30 AM on empty stomach. It is tested using Accuchek strips and blood is taken from my finger. Reading is usually between 85 and 95.
Last week I was out of Sri Lanka for a week and had to eat white rice, and curries where lot of oil was used, had ice cream (all in hotel). The fasting sugar test was 144.
Around this time I did the HbA1c test and the result was 7.6 ( Dec 2015 and Dec 2016 it was 8.1).
I am keen to know why my diabetes is showing high despite I being so careful and lifestyle.
I have been diabetics for the past 6 years. My mother also had diabetes.
Can you please tell me how I could cure my diabetes as I have to do a cataract operation on both my eyes shortly.
