I notice that most of the suggestions seem to come from non medical or those from other paramedics, whose claims are either commercial based, or highly prejudiced with no scientific basis of their claims.
the diabetic audience is prepared to believe anyone who allows them to eat as usual and are not really serious in following their own physicians advice.
This writer,a diabetic has tried yoga, homeo, ayurvedic, herbal , acupuncture, and reiki.
found all of them disappointing
, I have tried in these columns to encourage all diabetics to return back to time tested Oral pills and or insulin, before harming themselves more.
But unfortunately, there are very few takers for my suggestion.
I myself benefited nothing so far from these suggestions.
hence out of frustration I am voluntarily withdrawing from this blog spot

I totally disagree eventhough I am insulin- dependant.. There is nothing wrong in trying any other methods which are not basically harmful.
@mpath,Actually,you have no reason to complain because a vast majority of people are doing exactly what you are advocating i.e.depending on pills and insulin or both.The discussions are primarily focused on diet,exercise,stress reduction and diabetic complications,It is OK if some people think that alternate systems are worth giving a trial.At the end of the day, we humans do the right thing only after exhausting all other options,So,please do not be discouraged.
I agree with you and I only follow my doctor's advice and none other. with my regular dose i tried some ayurvedic formulee but no response. so I suggest every diabetic not experiment with your body and others
very true. I am in full agreement with you. There is bigger medical racket to keep you engaged in meds. I believe since diabetic condition internal to the human body the cure also lies inside. Only vested interests are keeping that knowledge away from us.
Is there any such course of study(specialization) in medicine called DIABETOLOGY
Diabetalogist?, to my knowledge no, either at graduate level or PG, only the general physician( MD) is competent to treat a diabetic patient.Displaying such boards(diabetologist) by the doctors with MBBS degree, is it not an offense?Cheating public.
What is meant by Fat,can any body describe in detail meaning of FAT and Fat containing items to be consumed as for pure vegetarian,why over weight person is called in simple Language as FAT or OBESE,WHAT MAKE THEM SO
I fully agree with you. Some one suggested me, from this forum only to contact a person who treats diabetes. I contacted that person and he came to my house. He brought three drugs to my house all three belonged Forever USA Company. Theses were 1)Aloe Vera 2) Garlic capsule and 3)Omega- 3 capsules. Since I knew about these medicines , I told him that these medicines can not cure diabetes & all these were general tonic and may improve general health but it will not cure diabetes .
But that person insisted that the Aloe Vera , garlic & Omega -3 will cure diabetes . I refused to buy these very costly products from him for Rs 4000/- which he was charging me. When I did not purchase from them,they left my house with out selling me the medicines. Later I, realised that they were the agent of Forever products. All are cautioned to be aware .
since 1994 i never used dalda or rath or any brnd of fat except 20 gms of deshi ghee but last two years idon't take it also. I don't use carbohydrates . I use only 1200 calories per day as my doctor advisied me. I take two chapatis of gram and soyabeen with wheat grains i always suffer from constipation so i take isubgol but still get my fasting sugar lavel high i.e. 100+ i travel around 200 km. daily now tell me what should i do more i am 59 years.
Continue to use home made ghee, made from whole milk,butter etc .
You said you are not taking carbs but you are using wheat which is carbs+gluten
Soyabeen should NOT be taken in any form except fermente d form.
How do you ferment it?
Soak it for 48-72 hours. Allow sproting for 5 -7 days..
(Sprouts willbe 9 inch by now)
Add it while doing your batter for dosa or idli. If you do not eat these, add these ( This is second best as you are not fermenting) to your batter for chapati after grinding it.
suggest me to get low carb and high fat diet and how shall i take it i am 59 and taking 1200 cal. per dy with proteen low carb nd low fat. i walk around 3.5 km dily and travel approximately 200 km. in the day by road. can you suggest me from which ingradients i will get high fat. plz. reply soon
You have not gone to the bottom of the disease and have not tried the most crucial therapy i.e exercising. Do leisure jogging, brisk walking or the most effective cycling for at least one month religiously and share your experience with all of us.
brisk walking is fine for those with normal joints. not so for those with advanced osteoarthritis.
cycling religiously was partly responsible for my eroding the cartilage in my knees and premature osteoarthritis, and so please do not suggest this to all
dear mpath in your original post poor quality of advice I could not see you mentioning that you have advanced osteoarthritis and hence my suggestion of exercising but here I would like to point out that you yourself being a high diabetic must be well aware of role exercise plays in controlling this disease and leading a healthy life.
And one more suggestion just being highly critical and having such a negative attitude just doesn't help. My advice was in all earnestness and nothing more than that.
There is something between being pessimistic and optimistic, "Realistic"
My critical comments are meant in all earnestness not to encourage quackery, wasting precious time and landing in more complications for the diabetic while looking for the non existing cure
.
With advancing age and arthritis exercise needs to be modified towards meaningful activity
every diabetic is different from other.so, always follow tried and time tested medication which is supported by sound clinical research.pl. do not fall pray to biased,unscientific unsubstantiated suggestions.you are responsible for your own health,so pl. be very very careful.
i agree with you i also did the same but no result ultimately i came back to my insulin and oral pills but i got damaged my health to some extent but now i am stable.
