It all depends on whether you are a type 1 diabetic or type 2 also on your sugar count, please get your sugar levels tested, the best thing to do is taker medications and Jamun tablets with a gap of 20 minutes, then check, Jamun will definitely help in negating sugar in your body.

Thank you so much for your answer.This is about my wife. She is type 2 diabetic patient since 10 years.she has been using medicines as per the doctor's advice .as she is not walking regularly the sugar levels are not fully controlled.She is taking 12 units insulin 2 times daily in addition to the tablets Iscept forte in the morning and evening and voglitor MF 2 in the afternoon before lunch.

Is it possible to control the sugar levels without exercises like walking.Kindly suggest me in this regard. Thank you

While walking helps, in extreme cases we should compromise, what I suggest is everyday on empty stomach mornings take on heaped teaspoon of the Jamun powder with water, and do the same last thing at night that is after dinner. In addition to that sometimes in the afternoon, take a pinch of cinnamon powder with lukewarm water. Continue your medicines and check the sugar levels after a month, or 15 days, you will definitely find some improvement.

ORAL Insulin is NOT yet developed. Tablets are to stimulate the pancreas. Diabetes is a result of disease of pancreas. So if you make the already damaged pancreas to do over-work it will become weaker & diabetes will GROW. That is what most of the diabetics including your wife saw. So Insulin is BETTER THAN TABLETS.

The text below is a "CUT&PASTE STUFF" from my previous replies to some others.

IF YOU HAVE ALREADY SEEN IT, KINDLY IGNORE THIS.

==================================================================

Diabetes is a fundamental disorder. It is comparable with low voltage in an electric circuit. In both cases all connected subsystems will under-perform and will fail in due course. Diab impairs the glucose (SUGAR) & oxygen supply to ALL CELLS of the patient. You cannot compensate the resultant weakness with liquor, food or medicines.

A DIABETESE PATIENT (also known as A DIABETIC) need NOT starve. PROPER or APPROPRIATE food can be eaten EVEN FULL STOMACH THRICE DAILY! Try to understand diabetes & conquor it.

I was diabetic from 2006; but NOT diabetic from 2009. I studied Diabetes thoroughly, because it was to solve MY problem.

Do you want to see my experience and blood sugar history from 2006 to 2013? Those are reported at: appropedia.org/Diabetes_mel... If you want only MODUS OPERANDI, GO TO appropedia.org/Diabetes_mel...
