Q. What is the best vegetarian diet plan for prediabetes?
Hello doctor,
I have had prediabetes for the past year. My height is 5 feet 4 inches, and my weight is 84 kg. My blood pressure is 130/90 mm Hg, and I am taking tablet Telmisartan 20 mg once daily. My uric acid is 9 mg/100 mL, for which I am using tablet Febostat 80 mg once in the morning. My sugar readings are 123 mg/dL and 198 mg/dL, for which I am using tablet Metformin 1000 mg twice daily and tablet Lipikind 10 mg once at night for cholesterol. I have reduced my intake of carbohydrates for a week. Can you suggest to me a vegetarian diet plan?
Thank you.

Hello doctor,
Thank you for the response.
As I am 19 kg overweight, kindly suggest a diet plan to reduce my weight.
Hello,
Welcome back to icliniq.com.
The above diet plan is low in calories. I suggest you to increase your fluid intake, which will help to reduce your uric acid levels. Also, the complex carbohydrates and fiber in the diet plan will manage prediabetes and high blood pressure.
