—your blood sugar levels between 180 and 250 are consistently high and fall in the diabetic range. Bitter melon may help slightly, but it will not lower your levels enough on its own. The most important step is reducing carbohydrate intake and getting proper lab testing, including an HbA1c.
—Rx
1)Bitter melon  Swarasa
15 ml with equal water, empty stomach, morning.
2) tab Nisha Amalaki
2 tab twice daily before meals with lukewarm water.
3)Gudmar Churna
2 gm twice daily after meals.
4) Chandraprabha Vati
2 tablets twice daily after food.
— Pathya
Reduce rice, wheat, sugar, potatoes.
Avoid refined carbohydrates.
Take barley (Yava), green gram, leafy vegetables.
Early dinner; avoid day sleep.
—Lifestyle
30 minutes brisk walking daily.
Light yoga: Kapalbhati, Mandukasana.
Advice:
Monitor fasting and post-prandial glucose every 4 weeks.
If levels persist >180 mg/dL, start allopathic along with ayurveda.
