FBS not under control.

[LCHFFAN]

Dear Friends,

I managed to control my AIC from 11.2 to 6.9 in 3 months, primarily with LCHF but with medicine continuation ( Refer my earlier post for details)

Since last one month I tried to reduce meds I take night. I cut off 2MG AMARYL, 30 MG ACTOS from my night medicine.

My FBS gradually kept increasing and now in the range of 170-180. My random checks are fine ( between 110- 140).

Feeling very sad and perhaps I have to start my meds again along with lchf.

Any good suggestion to control FBS?

It appears that you are changing your medicine dosages on an ad hoc basis without medical opinion.If that is true,I feel you are doing injustice to yourself.You may change your diet,exercise,lifestyle etc.as you may deem fit ,but as far as medicines are considered,you have to abide by the doctor's advise without deviation.Keep monitoring regularly at home and if you find any drastic changes,visit your doctor and seek advise.

I try to discuss with doctor about meds but he is not interested to know about LCHF. This is common problem observed by many on this forum.

[Hidden in reply to LCHFFAN]

Doctors do not recognize LCHF because it goes against their training and knowledge.In fact,most doctors will not entertain you if you disclose about your choice of tour diet.It is my experience that diabeticians are more concerned of a diabetic becoming a victim of CVD and other diabetic complications,and fat is blamed for the heart related problems.In that background,it is no use blaming the doctors. LCHF is your choice and so you have to work around the

existing medical system.I agree,it is tough.

Mulberry leaves, taste is not bad (as silkworms live on them) are very helpful in such case. Your liver and kidneys pump glucose at night resulting in high FBS. I find it helpful. Study internet and then try it out. It is edible and nutritious plant and hence you have nothing to loose. I make a cocktail of insulin leaves and guava leaves as I am lazy to go out on walks and am a foodie.

Is this available in readymade form somewhere? It is not feasible for me to find these where I live.

Go for an evening walk 30-45 mins. Your numbers will be alright.

[LCHFFAN in reply to diahelp]

I do more than one hour walk everyday.

I think u didn't read my message carefully. I meant u try walking 30-45 mins specifically in the evening.

Hi Meetu,

I dropped actos and amaryl together for night. In the morning I do take Janumet and Amaryl and in the night only Janumet.

I am in dilemma on what path to take? Wait for some more time and see if body adjusts to reduced medicine or restart full dose with LCHF and get readings under control?

Taij Patta=100gram, Bail Patta=250 grams, Methi Dana= 100 grams and Jaamun Guthali= 150 grams. Sabko alag alag dhoop mein sukha kar mix kar lain. Take one tea spoon with warm water one hour before breakfast and dinner up to 3 months. You will find your FBS under control or cure.

Is this mixture available in ready form?

Do not leave any medicine immediately.Try to reduce it gradually say with in three to 6 months.Consult doctor.Measure it regularly by different food.You will know your self what suite up the sugar.Take 100 grams each methi power,jamunpower,aswagangha powder,mersupian power,awla power, karela power,Bel power,sunthi ower. Make a mixture and take a spoon of this in empty stomach and one glass of water .After one hour only take any thing. But mind you this is not medicine.If you continue it for long run it mey help you. I am following this. My FBS level hovers around 80 to 90 by accucheck. Thanks. Karim
