What is optimal sugar level for type 2 diabetes?

Q: Can diabetics eat wheat chapati?

Yes, eating whole wheat chapati is a better alternative than white rice. Wheet is low glycemic index, better source of fiber, protein and also keeps one's stomach full for longer.

Q: I just found out from a test that my sugar level is 275, and I'm kind of worried. I have an appointment with my doctor in a week, but I'm unsure what to do until then. Should I see a doctor right away? Are there any precautions I should be taking in the meantime?

If its the first time your sugar has come high, retest. Better get fasting and post lunch done. If the values are high you can go for online consultation here and start meds.

My wife's prolactin level is 140 and we have an MRI scan showing a microadenoma in the pituitary gland. The doctor recommended cabergoline to control prolactin but I'm worried is this tumor serious and should we consider surgery? What are our next steps?
