My family has a history of diabetes, and even while taking Gliclaz M, my sugar levels go up and down at times. How can I control this better?

Blood sugar fluctuations are quite common in people who have a family history of diabetes, even when they are taking medicines like Gliclazide. Levels may rise or fall due to irregular eating habits, stress, poor sleep, lack of physical activity, infections, or excessive intake of sugary and processed foods. Missing meals or taking medicine at different times daily can also affect sugar control. Following a steady routine often helps improve stability. Try eating meals on time and include more vegetables, whole grains, dal, sprouts, salads, and protein-rich foods in your diet. Limiting sweets, sugary drinks, and late-night snacking may also help. Regular walking or light exercise, proper hydration, and maintaining a healthy sleep schedule can support better sugar balance naturally. Do not increase, stop, or change your diabetes medicine on your own. Your doctor may review your diet, reports, and daily routine before deciding whether any adjustments are needed. Inform your doctor if you frequently notice very high or low sugar readings, blurred vision, excessive sweating, shakiness, unusual tiredness, or increased thirst.
