My blood sugar is 135/210. What should I do?

135 mg/dL fasting and 210 mg/dL post-meal indicate prediabetes or uncontrolled diabetes—above ADA targets (<100 fasting, <180 postprandial). Immediate action is essential to prevent complications; consult a doctor today for HbA1c, diagnosis, and personalized plan.

Immediate Steps

Stabilize Now

  • Hydrate: Water/unsweetened tea to dilute glucose.

  • Light walk: 15-20 min post-meal lowers spikes 20-30%.

  • Avoid carbs: Skip sugars/starches today.

Short-Term Management (24-48 Hours)

  • Low-GI meal: Eggs + veggies + nuts (fiber/protein blunts spikes).

  • Apple cider vinegar: 1 tbsp in water pre-meal reduces postprandial 20%.

  • Monitor: Test every 2 hours; if >250 or symptoms (thirst, fatigue), seek ER.

Long-Term Control

Diet (80% impact)

Protein: 1.6g/kg (chicken, paneer) Fiber: 30g+ (greens, psyllium) Carbs: <100g low-GI (millets, berries) IF: 16:8 aligns with your routine

Lifestyle:

  • Exercise: 30 min walk + strength (your gym).

  • Sleep: 7+ hours (regulates cortisol/insulin).

  • Stress: Meditation (Huberman protocols).

Targets: Fasting <100, post <140 via CGM tracking.
