Diabetes, sugar levels-please help
I am Amit Kumar, 37 years old from Gurgaon. I am married and my work involved an 8 hour sitting job. This concern is mainly for diabetes, please read on my story and suggest something, please. Due to my family concerns, personal problem, past and the troubles I went through in my life, along with my weak heart and extra emotional nature, I got first anxiety problem after two years of my wedding in 2007. Then it increased year over year and added depression to my life with hopelessness, loss of interest and more troubles. I tried religious remedies, astrological solutions, etc. but it all went without any success. I struggled from 2009 to 2014 and suffered a lot. Then I went to Psychiatrist in Medanta Hospital who tried to cure me for about one year. Then he sent me to a psychologist who further conducted 4-5 sessions and treated me. I was and I am now treated well for those ailments with minor of them still remaining. I stopped psychologist’s treatment in 2016 after I felt there was no further need. During the time the treatment was on, in 2015, I came to know that I had aggravated levels of 292mgdl of blood sugar. Then I went for HBA1C test that came with reading 7.6. I can surely say that these levels were due to 3 reasons. One, due to anxiety/depression, two, due to my lifestyle, three, hereditary as my father is diabetic. After that I made remarkable changes in my diet and somewhat minor changes in lifestyle. I stopped or ate very less rice, potato, maida and sugar. Lifestyle changed I could not alter much as my work timings are different, they are from 3:30 pm to 11:30 pm. This helped a little but my readings always hovered around 110-150 for fasting, and 180-230 2-3 hours after food. In 2016, hba1c was 7.3. In Jan 2017 hba1c was 10. In April 2017 again it was 10. During past 15-20 days, they are 150 fasting and 290 after food. I am eating chapatis regularly. 4 chapatis each time in lunch and dinner. Sometime 2chapatis in morning extra. I don’t know what to do, what to eat, not to eat, how much to eat, whether I should eat medicines or not, what treatment to follow. I am thinking to go for ayurvedic treatment to start with. Can you please help. You have mentioned in your post that you can help. Please help me. I would be very grateful to you. more

Hi Amit, first of all your office timing reminds me of the time when I worked at American Express 15 years back. Yes you are right stress is the major cause of almost all diseases in the body and this I am saying based on my personal experience. You have to find ways of controlling it. What ever makes you happy do it everyday. Listen to good music, meditate (this really works), play OM, Mahamritunjay Mantra.... Good sleep is equally imp. I know multiple people who have controlled diabetes, with diet and exercise. There is a diet plan called DASH (please Google, meant for diabetes). Essentially, eat more of fresh Veggies (non starchy) and fruits (low sugar, like Guava, Jamun etc.) Also doctors say for every hour of sitting get up for at least 2 minutes and move. And try not to have too much starch even wheat (chapatis) are bad. more
