My HbA1c is 9.8%, fasting sugar is around 135-140 mg/dL, and post-meal sugar is 180-190 mg/dL. I am taking Formin Plus 500. What changes or treatments are needed to control my diabetes better?
Your HbA1c of 9.8% shows that your overall blood sugar has been quite high over the past few months, even though your fasting and post-meal readings are only moderately elevated. This usually means that your current treatment (Formin Plus 500) is not enough on its own and needs adjustment. The first step is to review your daily routine; focus on a balanced diet with controlled portions, reduce white rice, sweets, and sugary drinks, and include more vegetables, whole grains, and protein. Regular physical activity, such as brisk walking for at least 30 minutes most days, can significantly improve sugar control. It is also important to take your medication regularly and at the correct time. Since your HbA1c is high, your doctor may need to increase the dose, add another medicine, or sometimes start insulin temporarily to bring your sugars under control more quickly. Regular monitoring and follow-up are essential to track improvement and prevent complications. With the right combination of lifestyle changes and proper medication adjustment, your sugar levels can be brought under better control.
