should I start medicine for the spike


For the last 15 days I have been keeping the track of my diabetic levels. The conclusions are as below:
1- If I take a full meal, rich in carbs like rice, the spike is as high as 215-220 after two hours.
2- after three hours the level is down to 140-155 even with this high carbs meal.
3-If I take the same big meal, rich in carbs, and go for a walk for one hour, the level would be 138-140 mg/dl after two hours.
Now average meal with average carbs.
1-If I take an average meal with average carbs my sugar level would be 150-162
2-after three hours the level is down to 130-145
3-when I take the same average carbs meal and go for a walk the sugar level is 130 after two hours.
After 4 hours in either cases it is normal 108-120.
one thing very critical I am hypoglycemic for sure, 10 days back I had the worst hypoglycemia event of my life. I took one and half plate of rice and went for walk after one hour. Having walked three and a half kilometer the event started and I was almost passed out.
Please do advise, should I use medicine for the spike or is there any remedy that I could keep my sugar levels under 140 mg/dl

Thanks for the response, I am doing all these yoga exercises, and I'll, surely, let you know the progress. Today it was 104 after yoga but, simultaneously, it was four and half hour after my breakfast, after this much time it is around this level always, if it is under 140 after two hours of meal then it would be a real achievement. Thanks again.

These pranayam exercises will help control the diabetes and the side effects.Build up the timing gradually.If you feel tired or dizzy, stop and resume after about a minute.The benefits will be noticed in weeks as the sugar level is checked daily.Over the long term the diabetes will be in full control.

Kapalbhati -(Do it before eating) Push air forcefully out through the nose about once per second. Stomach will itself go in(contract in). The breathing in(through the nose) will happen automatically. Establish a rhythm and do for 15 to 30 minutes twice a day.
Children under 15 years – do 10 to 15 minutes twice a day.
Not for pregnant women. Seriously ill people do it gently(once in 2 seconds).

Anulom Vilom –
Close your right nostril with thumb and deep breath-in through left nostril
then – close left nostril with two fingers and breath-out through right nostril
then -keeping the left nostril closed deep breath-in through right nostril
then - close your right nostril with thumb and breath-out through left nostril.
This is one cycle of anulom vilom.
Repeat this cycle for 15 to 30 minutes twice a day.
Children under 15 years -  do 10 to 15 minutes twice a day.
You can do this before breakfast/lunch/dinner or before bedtime or in bed.Remember to take deep long breaths into the lungs.You can do this while sitting on floor or chair or lying in bed.

Also everyday, press the centre point of the palm of both your  hands 40 times with the thumb and press the tips of all fingers 40 times each.
To stimulate the pancreas to produce insulin: mandukasan(not for pregnant women) - kneel down(with feet pointing inwards,and sit on the ankles/heels, Vajrasan position), breathe in and breathe out completely and hold your breath, pull the stomach in, press both your  hands on stomach, bend forward as much as possible keeping the head straight, hold for 5 to 15 seconds and come back up while breathing in.Do this asan 3 times daily before meals, to stimulate the kidney and pancreas.Mandukasan2 - Repeat the whole process(mandukasan) 3 times,but this time with with fists of both hands pressing against the stomach(by the navel).Mandukasan can be done sitting on a chair, if you cannot bend the legs.This asan should be done before meals.
Continue the breathing exercises once a day, after the diabetes is in full control.
Your feedback after 4 months, will help others.
