You need more than a diet.  You need exercise. Just get active in anyway.  As far as a diet, just start easting better all around.  No more fast food or junk food.  Lots of fruits and vegetables.  Lots of water.  Atleast a 1/2 gallon to a gallon a day of water.

Glucose Fasting-70-110 mg/dL.(3.8-6.1 mmol/L)\nGlucose PP/R- Upto 160 mg/dL (8.8 mmol/L)\nYour second reading 1.32 does not appear correct.\nYou should also take HbA1c test every 3 or 4 months.\nEat a low-cholesterol, low-fat diet. This kind of diet includes cottage cheese, fat-free milk, fish (not canned in oil), vegetables, poultry, egg whites, and polyunsaturated oils and margarines (corn, safflower, canola, and soybean oils). Avoid foods with excess fat in them such as meat (especially liver and fatty meat), egg yolks, whole milk, cream, butter, shortening, lard, pastries, cakes, cookies, gravy, peanut butter, chocolate, olives, potato chips, coconut, cheese (other than cottage cheese), coconut oil, palm oil, and fried foods.\nPlease see the webpages for more details on Diabetes food.

Do a search for the DASH diet. It's been shown to help decrease hypertension (high blood pressure). There are several low sodium meal suggestions in there (I think 2 weeks' worth).

Eat more frequently but in smaller portions. Of course, exercise as well. See your doctor for advice.

You may need to start with losing some weight.\n\nYou also need to change your eating style.  The diet my husband's doctor recommended for him was the Hampton's Diet.  It required a change in a lot of ways, but they were good changes for all of us in our family.  There are books about it, and it is otherwise known as the Mediterranean diet.  You get some pretty good food.  \n\nIf you do all of that and your bp doesn't go down, high numbers may be hereditary.  You can get your heart and arteries checked to see how well they function. They may function quite well if it's simply hereditary.\n\nAnother thing you can do is try low-dose aspirin.  St. Joseph's is one brand.

This diet isn't the worst I have seen but it isn't particularly healthy either. \n\nWhat's bad\n\nSkipping meals is never a good idea as this can cause a dip in your blood sugar levels. If your blood sugar levels constantly dip and surge, you could end up pre-diabetic.\n\nSports drinks contain a lot of sugar so I would cut them out completely. If you must have something sweet, stick to fruit juice diluted with water. \n\nYou are not consuming enough vegetables and there is very little variety. You need at least 5 pieces of fruit and veg a day and these should be different pieces (to maximise nutrition). You should eat more vegetables than fruit as fruit contains a lot of natural sugar. For this reason, it is possible to overdo fruit consumption.\n\nCereal bars are not dreadful but they tend to contain a lot of sugar. I would limit your intake to 1 a day.\n\nEating foods like tuna pasta and eggs without vegetables or salad isn't good. Eggs are binders and are renowned for blocking you up. If you do not eat more fibre, you risk constipation.\n\nWhat's good\n\nThe water is good.  When you are thirsty, your body is demanding water. It doesn't need sports drinks or anything other than water (although I appreciate plain water can seem boring after a while!). Aim to drink a minimum of 8 glasses of water a day.\n\nFish is good. A variety of fish is even better. Oily fish contains essential fatty acids and omega oils so this is most nutritious but all fish (especially organic fish) is great protein. Just make sure it doesn't come in batter or breadcrumbs...\n\nNuts are great. A superfood. But you should only consume a small handful each day. The best nuts to eat are brazils, pecans, walnuts and almonds.\n\nFruit is good but don't eat too much (see above). Try to ensure that there is plenty of variety too and add berries (for example) to your Weetos in the mornings.\n\n\nIf you are a snacker, think about having 6 small meals a day instead of 2 large ones and a bunch of snacks. Ensure there is a balance of protein, carbohydrate (preferably wholegrains) and vegetable fibre at each meal - roughly a third of each on the plate. And when you snack, have a small handful of nuts and one or two pieces of fruit. Other than that, snack on raw vegetables and humus (very good for you). And don't forget the water!

first of all eat a healthy balanced diet, 5 portions of fruit or veg a day, try not to eat to many bananas, grapes or satsumas if you are border line diabetic as these contain natural sugar, diet drinks are fine in moderation not to many as these contain caffeine and can raise your blood pressure not good with hypertension, start off with a little exercise just a gentle walk as if your not used to it, this can be dangerous, gradually build up to more exercise, smaller portions, if you eat smaller portions for 2-3 weeks you won't feel so hungry as your stomach will shrink because it's not being full with food and can't take so much, when you feel like picking eat carrot sticks or celery, you should go to a dietitian and they will tell you how many calories you should have a day for your size, lifestyle etc, and give you an eating plan. good luck

1. Diet – Do not consume fatty products (such as ice cream, fatty sweets, fast food pizza) There was a report recently that French fries are very bad for your body as they contain large amounts of saturated fats. If you think you are craving to eat something sweet, eat fruits. Also eat a lot of vegetables. If you need to eat meat, eat fish (not chicken, crab). Fish has oils (HDL) which lower blood cholesterol levels and therefore is good for you. Cook food in canola or olive oil. As these are polyunsaturated oils, they help lower cholesterol levels. Consult a dietician for an individualized diet advice.\n2. Exercise – Exercise regularly. Join a weight reduction programme at a hospital also and very religiously attend it. Furthermore, reducing abdominal fat significantly lowers your risk of disease in the future (so do 50 proper sit-ups everyday).\n3. Medicine -The lipid (fat) lowering drugs if prescribed need to be taken apropriately. If you have forgotten what the dose was, consult a doctor and have a cholesterol check periodically. These lipid (fat) lowering drugs are only known to work with dietary changes. They are very effective and are known to reduce mortality by 30-40%, and therefore it is very worth while taking them properly.\n4. The website of British heart foundation may give more valuable tips. http://www.heartstats.org/homepage.asp copy\n5. Have regular health check ups, depending on what your doctor says. Prevention is always better than a cure.

Check your bloodsugar 4 to 6 times a day, OR MORE. Get on an eating plan with your doctor or dietician. Learn to use "sliding scale" insulin. Everyone can do it and it's very effective. I've been diabetic for 16 years and my hemoglobin A1c has always been between 5.0 to 5.7, with the last being 5.4 It IS possible to be in perfect control. Talk to your physician about it, and if your physician is unwilling GET A NEW DOCTOR!!!

Absolutely not. Stay on your medicine and discuss with your doctor what your "target" is. Often times your total cholesterol can be good but the HDL, LDL or Triglycerides may be suboptimal. Ask your doctor if you can decrease or stop your medicine depending upon what he/she believes your target cholesterol level to be

A new study on the prevention of high blood pressure recommends six lifestyle modifications. These strategies are especially important for people who have risk factors for high blood pressure that cannot be changed, including family history, race, and aging.\nLifestyle modifications include: \nMaintaining a normal weight, with a body mass index (BMI) of 18.5 to 24.9. \nReducing sodium in your diet to about 2.4 g (2400 mg) per day, which is about 1 teaspoon of salt. \nExercise, such as brisk walking, at least 30 minutes a day on most, if not all, days of the week. \nFor men, limiting alcohol to two drinks (24 ounces of beer, 10 ounces of wine, or 2 ounces of 100-proof whiskey) per day. Women and lighter-weight people should limit alcohol to half that amount. \nGetting 3,500 mg of potassium in your diet every day. \nFollowing the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) eating plan, a diet that is rich in fruits, vegetables, and low-fat dairy products, with reduced amounts of saturated and total fats.
