First step in the treatment of diabetes is diet control and exercise. First you should do proper diet control. No sugar v fewer carbs. Take opinion from dietician. You have to do exercise daily for at least 30 minutes. If despite doing this. Your blood sugar is still high then you will need some medication. Most of the time gluconate is started. It don't causes low blood sugar levels or hypoglycemia. I would suggest that you should do proper diet and exercise now.
