Your HbA1c of 6.8 means your diabetes is fairly controlled, but it can be improved further. Focus on regular exercise (at least 30 minutes daily), weight management, and a low-carb, high-fibre diet with controlled portions. Eating meals on time, avoiding sugary and refined foods, managing stress, and getting good sleep also help. Since PCOD can increase insulin resistance, take your prescribed medicines regularly and have periodic follow-ups with your doctor to fine-tune treatment if needed.
