Diabetes Reversal Tips by Dr. Paras Agarwal: When someone has diabetes, the level of sugar or glucose in his blood increases more than normal. There are many methods to find out the amount of sugar in the blood. The first one is fasting blood sugar. In this, after fasting for 8 hours at night, sugar is tested in the morning without eating or drinking anything. Fasting blood sugar in a normal person should be less than 100 mg/dL. If it is up to 120-130 then it can be completely cured by improving lifestyle. But if fasting blood sugar reaches 150 mg/dL, can it be reversed? News 18 asked this question to Dr. Paras Aggarwal, a famous diabetologist of Max Healthcare Gurgaon. He told that it depends on whether you are diabetic or not. If other sugar related tests like HB1AC, post meal test etc. are normal then it can be reversed.
Under which conditions can sugar be reversed?
Dr. Paras Aggarwal told that if the sugar level is normal in all the tests related to blood sugar and it has been decided that he is not diabetic yet and is in the pre-diabetic stage, then in this situation the fasting blood sugar can reach 150. If it does not progress further then it can be easily managed, provided several lifestyle improvements are required. He told that even if the blood sugar level is slightly increased in every type of test, it can be reversed. For this it is necessary to strictly follow some rules.
5 sutras of Dr. Paras Aggarwal
1. Stress Management-Dr. Paras Aggarwal told that to bring fasting blood sugar below 150, stress management is first necessary. That is, if you are under a lot of stress or depression then it will be difficult to control sugar. Too much stress or depression causes excessive release of cortisol hormone which badly affects the metabolism. In this situation blood sugar also increases. For stress management, you can take help of yoga, meditation, walking, running etc. If the stress has reached the level of depression then first consult a doctor.
2. Control on diet – If the fasting blood sugar has reached 150 and you want to reverse it, then it is very important to control the diet. In such a situation, you will have to avoid outside things at all costs. Outside things would mean giving up fast food, junk food, pizza, burgers, sweets, ultra processed things, packaged things etc. This also means that you should eat pure fresh food at home, include more seasonal green vegetables and fruits in it. Do not eat fried foods even at home. Make 90 percent of your diet plant food.
3. Physical activity- Even if you are taking healthy food and you remain sitting at one place all day long, the sugar will not reverse. Along with eating healthy food, you will also have to do physical activity daily. For this, walk 4-5 thousand steps daily, do running, cycling, swimming. Brisk exercise will be very beneficial for this. Do not sit anywhere at one place for more than an hour. Do not go to bed immediately after eating food.
4. Avoid alcohol, smoking – Do not consume alcohol in any form to reverse the pre-diabetic stage. Along with this, do not smoke in any form.
5. Lose weight – If your weight has increased and sugar has reached 150 then it will not be easy to get it back. This can be reversed only if you reduce your weight. Take expert advice to lose weight. Losing weight is neither magic nor is it going to happen in a month or half. For this many things have to be managed simultaneously. Therefore, manage your weight at all costs.
