For a diabetic,exercise and strict control over diet are compulsory whatever system or method you choose to follow.Medicines are not the first choose,but may be inevitable if you fail to control the sugar levels.Constant monitoring is also essential.

Please read my experience (engineer 1) I have blogged at

It is reproduced here:

I am 60. I was diagnosed with diabetes in 2002, about 11 years back. I was taking Glycomet 500 SR, that is Metformin 500, dosage 1-1-1 for several years. I was suffering from giddiness at about 11 AM frequently, due to my low sugar level. My sugar level was going up,and down, I was also suffering from tiredness. My diet was regular south indian food, avoiding sugar.

I changed to low carb diet. I found my sugar level stabilized at normal level and so I have stopped taking medicines! I am not taking medicines for the past 2 years.

My diet:

Breakfast: 2 eggs boiled or fried or omlette and vegetable salad( generally cucumber and tomato) and pulses like green gram

Lunch: 5 to 6 pieces of chicken about 400 gms and veg salad

or 2 slices of fish and veg salad,pulses or greens

Dinner:5 to 6 pieces of chicken about 400 gms and veg salad,pulses or greens

I eat fruits like water melon, papaya

No rice/chappathi during lunch or dinner

In order to control cholesterol, I avoid red meat like mutton.

Due to higher protein intake, I have lost the craving to eat carbohydrates like rice, chappathi etc. I do not feel sharp hunger now.

I monitor sugar level and Hb1ac regularly. I also monitor lipid profile regularly every 6 months, I meet the doctor regularly and show the lab reports. These are in control without drugs.My doctor( in a super specialty hospital) has advised me to continue my diet. I am proceeding cautiously with the doctor' s advise, with regular monitoring.

I eat rice only during marriage functions and special occasions. and I take metformin 500 then.Otherwise no drug.

I take about 5 cups of black tea without sugar(instead, I use Sucralose i.e sugar free). I walk for 30 minutes daily.

I am dynamic and more alert now- all due to change to low carb diet..My tiredness has stopped.

I am healthier at 60 than I was in my fifties !!!
