Answer
Dear Mr Raj,

After a particular sugar level is built up it is always impossible to stay away from sugar. You have to have a very strong mind and put in efforts. You have to keep yourself away from all those places which are ready stocked with sweets.

Avoid going to shops which are always having sweets at counter, etc..

However if that is not possible then:

1. Have Natural & Artificial sweetener based foods.

2. Have more intake of bitter vegetables and bitter herbs to balance those sugar built up.

3. Exercise more

In any case, always consult your doctor before you start anything we pointed out.

Best of Luck !

Regds.
