It is not enough.Metformin 850mg may be recommended for you. try it.

what is yr age.If not too old and Diab is new, 500mg is enough. If u use Long wheat and control yr carbohydrates to 100 g max, u may not need meds after a while. read Shooter George and med free carefully they r good.

Guptaji I am from Punjab and long wheat is not available in Punjab can you please advise?

in reply to Gillkashmirsingh

Papaji Tussi tope ho. You fill the stomach of the entire India. Thank you. Punjab is blessed with rivers and 100% irrigated. You will grow Basmati and high yielding wheat. Khapli gehun is grown in North Karnataka, South Maharshtra mainly through rain water irrigation. The yield is less and only once a year crop. Expected this month end. Amritsar is te largest mandi in the north. check with a good merchant. Problem is if yr wife makes a roti for you with this atta, your kids will not leave anything for you. It is extremely tasty and nutritious. Why not grow it locally?

Gupta sir I have tried in Amritsar market and failed .people in Punjab do not cultivate it. I have my own farmhouse.i want to grow it but from where to get it from is my problem .can you help me about this long wheat problem .take it as my sincere request.

in reply to Gillkashmirsingh

This is known as Emmer wheat. Pls check with yr Agr university and they should be not only able to supply you for seed, you could use for personal use also. New crop is expected in 15 days and i thought seeds from new crop will be better. If you grow organically you could be selling at a very high price and even exports. So pls see the scale at which you want to work, and make Punjab proud. Papaji you are from land of Saheed Bhagat Singh and maryrs ofb Jalian wala Bagh who got us independence. Any thing for you guys- day or night, anytime for Punjab.

I am not medreses I am gill Kashmir Singh you replying to mail of med fee and by mistake you are thinking it from me please read the sender name and then reply please . I want long wheat by god . My sugar levels are not very high but they are on the higher side.

in reply to Gillkashmirsingh

Work out how much you need for consumption and seed. New crop is expected shortly. Tell me which city youb are in. I will work out with a local merchant to send you fresh stock through transporter if you do not get it locally. You can also grow Insulin plants in yr farm house and do a business of selling leaves and plants besides curing yr self.

what is mean by shooter george and med free ?

in reply to velmurugan20110

They are members of this forum & those are there ID's, the way, yours is "velmurugan20110".

If you see above, in this thread, you will find medfree's reply. ShooterGeorge is another.

medfree - posts about "LCHF - Low Carb High Fat Diet" being good for controlling Diabetes.

ShooterGeorge - posts about - "How Long Wheat Diet" has helped him to cure his diabetes.

Search the forum, for the posts of these two. That said, would suggest looking at the posts of "anilgupta101" also.

Thanks

You must have been diagnosed recently for your sugar. But Metformin 500 eventually would be insufficient to manage your sugar as your levels are quite high on all parameters.

Try managing your diets by having small portions of food but several times and minimising the intake of carbohydrates.

Take Glynase 5mg along with metformin and if still sugar high take pioglitazone 15 mg twice a day.

it depends on your age, family history and body ability to produce the insulin as well metform will not produce any insulin only affects at Liver and reduces the glucose levels

Kashmir Singhji, a TV is a TV is a TV. Then why Samsung or LG?. Almond is almond is almond. then why Kashmiri. Rice is a rice is a rice, then why Basmati. Listen to this guy fully but use yr own judgement. One request, when you marry do not follow the principle a woman is a woman is a woman. Marry a nice Sikhni Sardarji.

Initially doctors start on metformin and advice diet. Quite a lot has been written in this forum about diet. Search for LCHF and choose your best. Any change in medicine had to be decided during your next review with doc. If you are able to control blood sugar with diet, doc may advice you to taper down the dose. Diet plays a very umportant role in the management of BS. Goodluck.

I think that your blood sugar level is on higher side. FBS and PP level should be 70-100 and 70-140 respectively. You should consult your doctor for proper management of sugar level.

This seems to be initial dosage of metaformin. If you are a Diabetic as per Allopathy , Metaformin is prescribed in lower dosage world vide.

No need to go for Metaformin 850 mg tab.

We prescribe following Ayurveda Ausahdhies for you which can be continue with your doctors medicines

1) Mamejavo Vati 2-0-2 30 mins before meals

2) Trifala Churn 5 Grams early in morning

You have to completely avoid sugar intake.

You may replace black Gud in place of Chini

Ur range is high. Take small four to five meals per day. Take almonds and walnuts daily ten to twelve pieces. Drink kaddu juice early morning daily. Walk and do yoga 45 min. Br fast boiled egg,brown bread or instead boiled vegetable soup grind all boild vegetables.

No, 500mg will not do. 1000mg morning and evening may be enough, but not less. This is what I am taking and my sugar levels were only FBS 145 PP250 when doctor doubled the doze to what it is now. By taking 1000x2 a day, my diabetes is under control with FBS 80 to PP 180. My advice: go see a doctor to confirm.

Your sugar level seem to be quite high, Besides medicines, exercises is most important. Diet control is very essential. Always consult your doctor and take necessary treatment. Don't believe quake doctors with wrong medicines, and don't take the opinion of lay people, since they might mislead you. Take courage. With diabetes, you can live a normal life if you follow your doctor's advice.
