Can we control diabetes without medicine?

Through diet changes and weight loss, you may be able to reach and hold normal blood sugar levels in early stages of diabetes. This doesn't mean you're completely cured. Type 2 diabetes is an ongoing disease. Treatment is very much needed.

I'm trying to conceive and I have PCOD. My blood sugar levels are 106 when fasting and 137 two hours after a meal. Should I be worried about diabetes, or are these levels okay?

Your blood sugar levels of 106 mgdL (fasting) and 137 mgdL (2 hours after meal) are within normal range. However, since you have PCOD and are trying to conceive, it is important to monitor your blood sugar levels regularly. You can continue with a healthy diet and regular exercise to maintain your blood sugar levels. If needed, you can consult your doctor for further evaluation and management.
