Dear Sir/Madam,

It is VERY NICE of you for joining. Thanks a lot. Your advice and guidance will be very very helpful to all of us who are suffering from this deadly disease which is nothing less than SLOW POISON.

I regularly (every week) check my blood sugar - both Fasting and PP - using ABBOT'S OPTIUM XCEED instrument. What is the variation in the Blood Sugar Results for tests taken in Lab and with the instrument both done ALMOST AT THE SAME TIME?

Glad to know of your kind and thoughtful intentions.

I guess you could have an answer for me. I have been diagnosed as pre-diabetic since 4 weeks ago and I am 56 yrs of age, no other health related issues other than the above. As pre-diabetic I have been prescribed Metformin 500mg twice a day. Could you advise what are/could be side effects of Metformin in the short/long run. There are no advice what so ever by any one on this community who have referred nor provided any inf on this. Appreciate your reply

Well When I only take watermelon for dinner, My blood sugar level is down and I get around 100 reading. So I guess Water melon is good for diabetes. What makes you think Watermelon is bad ?

My daughter aged 12 years is suffering from diabetes for last 3 years and since then has been on insulin 8 units each of WOSULIN -R 3 times a day (before breakfast, before lunch & before dinner) and 10 units on LANTUS (at bedtime). Being father it is very painfull experience of injecting insulin in a such a young chid. Beside this she is also going undergoing treatment from Doctors in Dharmashala (H.P.) India. Her mother also is suffering from diabetes. Please advise any remedy so that insulin intake can be reduced or avoided.

sweetgirl in reply to dkv3779

Dear father of DD(Diabetic Daughter). I am a type 1 Diabetic. Diagnosed in 1996 at the age of 7. i want to tell you that please please please never ever avoid insulin. Insulin is the only thing that keeps your daughter alive and please don't you ever dare to experiment with your dear daughter's diabetes. Never take any medicine (ayurvedic or homeopathic or any thing else) which is not clinically proven. Your daughter has type 1 diabetes not the type 2 or gestational. It has got no cure till now.

mbhanshali profile image
mbhanshali in reply to sweetgirl

Yr comment being a diabetic from the age of 7 (perhaps out of genetic disorder or inheritance) to never take any homoeopathic medicine for (only your type of diabetes?) is on scientific footing? Or it is just your observation oozing out of your understanding and condition? R you in a position to take a nuetral view on the science of homoeopathy and ayurveda for your kind of ailment or other ailments? You are perhaps taking maintainance dose, and do you mean that both these sciences dont have maintanance medicine when there is no cure of your kind of diabetes? Most of us are very prompt to say something and mostly its an outburst. Homeopathy and ayurveda does have cure and maintanance medicines for diabetes of any kind. It is a matter of expert opinion and also investigation for a layman into this direction. Most of us dont have scientific appoach towards living and body!!!

palitsujoy profile image
palitsujoy in reply to thulasidharan29

Your fasting is perfectly ok. PP should be below 140 but with some do happen. But your HbA1c is high.Iit should less than 6.5% for Type II diabetic.This suggest that through out the day your BS is high.You talk to a dietecian and discuss with him.He will suggest diet plan for you and you will see that your HbA1c will be lower after 3 months.

Amiyakrishna being a nutritionist you have joined this forum, and you say you want to be usefull to the public! Ha ha very good. You say that you have 70 pp and 90mg/dl and that give license to you to advise people! Fine, we dont know your lifestyle, your age, your dietic habits, the stress level you have and if you have stress how do you manage. Is it possible to control or eradict diabetes with just diet? Perhaps you will agree that these are the factors also contributing to one catching diabetes! Correct me kindly if I am wrong! I will be glad! Many others here will also be benifited.
