Fasting blood sugar level - #18724
I recently had a routine check-up, and my fasting blood sugar level was higher than normal. It came out as 115, which the doctor said is in the prediabetes range. I wasn’t expecting this because I feel fine most of the time, but now I’m really worried. I don’t have diabetes in my family, and I don’t eat a lot of sweets. Could my diet still be affecting my fasting blood sugar level? I do eat a lot of white rice and bread—could that be the reason? Also, I’ve noticed that I feel very thirsty in the morning, and sometimes I wake up with a dry mouth. Could that be connected to high fasting blood sugar level? I really don’t want to start medication if I can avoid it. I heard that Ayurveda has natural ways to regulate fasting blood sugar level. Are there herbs or home remedies that can help lower it naturally? Also, is fasting good or bad for someone with slightly high fasting blood sugar level? I sometimes skip breakfast—does that help or make things worse? What should I be eating in the morning to keep my fasting blood sugar level stable? And does sleep or stress affect blood sugar too? I’ve been under a lot of stress lately, and my sleep schedule is messed up. Could that be increasing my blood sugar? I’d love to hear about Ayurvedic solutions for balancing fasting blood sugar level naturally. What are the best herbs, foods, and lifestyle changes I should follow to prevent diabetes?
