Preventive measures advise needed - #25965
Dear Doctor: I need advise on my food habits. Me and my wife take spicy and more oil food for taste and couldn't compromise for health reasons. Please suggest what is to be taken to equalise fat and other complications on daily basis. More details are given below:- Daily Routine: I am 70, and my wife is 61. We stay at home most of the time, except for doing household chores. We do not engage in any physically demanding outdoor work. We walk around our apartment complex a few times a day. We also have a small garden on the ground floor, which we maintain. Food Intake: We consume both vegetarian and non-vegetarian food. We have a morning tiffin and drink coffee or tea twice a day. Our food is either spicy or cooked with more oil. We avoid eating at hotels or restaurants. Diagnosis: For monitoring blood sugar, we use a glucometer and check readings twice daily, adjusting our medication accordingly. Fasting blood sugar (FBS) readings are typically between 100-120 mg/dL, and postprandial (PP) readings never exceed 200 mg/dL. In short, we are conscious of the issue but struggle to maintain sugar levels within the recommended parameters. Present Discomfort, Weight, and Height: Height and Weight: Me: 5'2" and 66 kg Wife: 5'0" and 80 kg Discomforts: Me: Knee joint pain Dust allergy, nasal congestion throughout the year High blood pressure, cholesterol, diabetes Calcaneal spur Heart pumping is fine, but there is a distribution issue Bipolar disorder Neck and lumbar spondylitis Occasional vertigo Spending 45-60 minutes in the toilet, 3-4 times a day Wife: Diabetes High blood pressure Heart blockage Knee joint pain
