Sugar Level - #18608
I’ve been struggling with my sugar level for the past few months, and it’s making me really worried. I recently went for a routine checkup, and my doctor told me that my sugar level is slightly higher than normal. I don’t have diabetes, at least not yet, but they warned me that if I don’t control my sugar level, I might develop prediabetes or even full-blown diabetes in the future. Doctor, I’m really confused about how this works. I thought that only people who eat a lot of sweets get high sugar levels, but I don’t eat much sugar at all. I rarely drink soda, and I don’t have a sweet tooth. So why is my sugar level going up? Are there hidden reasons that can cause this? I’ve read that stress and lack of sleep can affect sugar levels. Could this be a reason? Also, I’ve been feeling more tired than usual. Sometimes, I get dizzy after eating a heavy meal, and my energy crashes. Is this related to my sugar level fluctuating? What are the signs that my sugar level is too high or too low? I don’t want to wait until it gets worse before I do something about it. I know that Ayurveda has natural ways to balance the body, and I’d love to try a more natural approach instead of relying on medications right away. Are there Ayurvedic remedies or herbs that can help regulate sugar levels? I’ve heard about cinnamon, fenugreek, and bitter gourd, but I don’t know how to use them properly. What’s the best way to include them in my diet? Another thing I’ve been struggling with is my diet. I know I need to eat better, but there’s so much conflicting information online. Some people say to avoid carbs completely, while others say complex carbs are okay. Doctor, from an Ayurvedic perspective, what foods should I eat to maintain a healthy sugar level? Are there any foods I should completely avoid? Also, does the timing of my meals affect my sugar level? Exercise is another area where I’m not sure what to do. I used to be more active, but because of my busy schedule, I don’t work out regularly anymore. Does exercise directly impact sugar levels? What kind of physical activity is best for keeping my sugar level stable? Lastly, I’ve heard that some people with high sugar levels eventually experience complications like nerve damage, kidney problems, or vision issues. If my sugar level is only slightly high right now, should I be worried about these complications in the future? How can I prevent long-term damage? Doctor, I really want to get this under control before it turns into something serious. Please help me understand the best ways to naturally manage and lower my sugar level before it’s too late.
