Hi, I am suffering from Diabetes for the last 5 years. My cholesterol is 240, blood sugar (fasting) is 148, 0.9 Serum creatinine and Hb 1 Ac-8.0. I am consuming Metformin 500 in the morning and 750 at night after meals. I am taking Amlodipine tablet 5 mg od and Enapril 2.5 mg od. Apart from this, I have also restricted my diet and have reduced sugar intake except for sugar-free tablets. Even regular walking for 30 minutes in the evening is included to keep myself fit. Please offer me some suggestions that can check my cholesterol level and blood sugar.

When an individual has proper control over its diabetes, you can expect the following values: Fasting < 100 mg, HbA1c% < 6.8 and PP 150 to 160 mg. Moreover, an individual can follow a restricted diet in which there should be no consumption of junk foods, deep fried foods, sweets, pastries and foods made from white flour. Besides, avoid smoking and intaking of alcohol. It is essential that one should opt for an hour of exercise regularly as this will help you to maintain normal body weight.
