Frequently Asked Questions
It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout.
Patient: Doctor, can my diabetes be cured permanently?
Doctor: Diabetes cannot be cured in the true sense, but it can be well controlled. In Type 2 diabetes, the pancreas still produces insulin, but the body becomes resistant to it. With proper diet, exercise, weight management, and medicines, blood sugars can stay normal for years — this is called remission. However, if you go back to unhealthy habits, sugars can rise again.
Patient: If my sugars come down, can I stop insulin?
Doctor: It depends on why insulin was started. In Type 2 diabetes, sometimes insulin is temporary — for example, during infection, surgery, or pregnancy. Once your pancreas recovers and sugars stabilize, we can reduce or stop insulin. But in Type 1 diabetes, insulin is lifelong because the pancreas produces none.
Patient: Which flour is best for diabetics — wheat, bajri, or jowar?
Doctor: All have carbohydrates, but their glycemic index (GI) differs.
Jowar and bajra have lower GI than refined wheat, meaning they raise blood sugar more slowly.
You can use a mix of wheat + jowar + bajra + methi seeds + bran for balanced nutrition and fiber.
Portion control is key — even healthy flour can spike sugar if eaten in excess.
Patient: How many times a day should I check my sugar?
Doctor: It depends on your treatment:
If on insulin, check fasting, pre-meal, post-meal, and sometimes at bedtime.
If on tablets, checking fasting and post-meal 2–3 times a week is sufficient.
Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) gives deeper insights if you can afford it.
Monitoring helps us understand your glucose pattern and adjust medicines safely.
Patient: What is the normal blood sugar range?
Doctor:
Fasting (before breakfast): 80–130 mg/dl
2 hours after meal: <180 mg/dl
HbA1c (3-month average): <7%
These are ADA-recommended targets. For elderly or heart patients, goals can be slightly relaxed for safety.
