Sir, pl dont get carried on by people who.direct you to sites with doctors or quacks. They vl make you spend more money and loose health. You need to control your diet. If your wife is not educated u read nd educate her. You can also cook meals that keeps you busy and helps you to connect vth food. Lchf is not a cuisine its just changing what we eat. You search in this site as well google you vl get lot of indian veg meal plans. Kindly work on it. Self control is the only medicine. Exercise is also must.
thanks very much for the caution and advice. but at 60 ,Iknow only to cook hot water and my wife never allowed me to enter her territory. same thing happened with my mother also.Now feel so helpless.
the insulin catridges earlier were sold with needles as a pack. NOw biocon has seperated the medicine and needles packed seperately and charging extra for the needles.so my expense will also increase.
however the panneer doda taken for the past few days has given me great relief for my peripheral neuropathy tingling and pain in the ankles.
even the so called experts /diabeticians /dieticians do not have time to upgrade the LCHF knowledge and only harping on walk, walk till your knees are worn out and increase the shots till medicine companies overflowing with filthy rich.
any way the fact is diabetes is a never ending story.
Always be thankful for what you have ...remain optimistic...According to my experience ...lchf actually make you free from making tedious traditional indian dishes. Just remember the formula to keep away from grains as much as you can and add more fat and protien to diet...my wife forced me to follow LCHF and started that for me...now she came back India and I am managing on my own...though I am not able o follow diligently: ): )you dont need to cooking specialist or spend much time in kitchen for that. There are many easy recipes in dlife.in in different sections of lunch/dinner/breakfast.
Very recently,I have come across that VIRGIN ORGANIC COCONUTOIL has some use in controlling diabetis. Couple of days back I bought half a ltr V O Coconutoil and I am yet to try this.
It can be used asCooking medium etc.and small quantities can be consumed directly ,may be to start with quarter spoon. you may go thro details on internet ,try and share yr exp.
