Since your blood sugar levels and blood cholesterol levels have been on the higher side, you have diabetes and hypercholesterolemia. Get your blood pressure assessed.
Management:
I’m sending you the basic dietary dos and don’ts that you ought to bear in mind:
- Cut down on simple sugars – white sugar, jaggery, and honey. Avoid artificial sweeteners too, they are not recommended. You could make it a gradual process.
- Stay away from saturated fats – margarine, butter, and ghee. They are rich in cholesterol, and so not good for you.
- Refined and processed foods are a complete no – no. they are loaded with trans fats which will aggravate your condition.
- Do not consume any animal fats. Red meat is detrimental to your health. Lean meat and fish can be had once a week.
- Cut down on the consumption of oil.
- Let fruits and vegetables be the mainstay of your diet.
Embarking on some form of exercise, on a regular basis is advised.
