My diabetes

[kapilv]

I was diagnosed on June 2015 at age 36. I was losing weight, had blurry vision( I thought due to excessive computer usage), polyuria, polyphagia. Still, I could not believe I had diabetes, because I wokred out everyday and did not gorge on starch. But, I lost about 10 kg in under a month and decided to test. My fasting b.g was 369 mg/dl and postprandial 514. I couldǹt believe the numbers and retested in another lab. It was true. I had diabetes. One thing I doǹt understand anyway is why I was losing weight so fast when my urine acetone test came in negative.

I undertook Siddha medication for diabetes, from Swami Gorakhnath in Paravur. Was having herbal medicine thrice a day. Also exercised twice a day. Food was strictly vegetarian,prioritizing certain vegetables. Fasting b.g came down to 100 in one month. I continued the medication for a few more months. Now, in June 2016, its been three months I had any medicine. I have a normal diet and my blood glucose is just fine. The fasting levels are in the 90s consistently. All the symptoms have disappeared. I believe type 2 diabetes can be brought into remission with prompt and aggressive therapy.

Dear bro. Plz suggest medicine name now I m in Kolkata and facing same issue in last six months so kindly suggest

[kapilv in reply to Ranjeetgautam]

Several medicines. But only a doctor should prescribe. What you can do is see a reputed siddha practitioner. Besides medicines, Ìve had success with turbulence training for fat-loss. Requires only a 15 kg dumbbell. Interval training is said to prioritize visceral fat. Its that kind of fat that really interferes with insulin signalling.

Congrats Dear. You made it. But would you pleas tell the medicinal care you have taken to achieve this ? It will be helpful to one and more. Thanks.

Very good. Keep it up and keep off chemical drugs. But please check your blood glucose levels at home every other day And check your Hba1c every three months. That is only dependable proof. Occasional blood glucoe test may be deceptive and you mifht become complacent

[kapilv in reply to Sugu]

My last a1c is 5.6. It was 13.8 on diagnosis.

[anil2601]

ALL YR SYMPTOMS AND CONDITION MENTIONED BY YOU IS DUE TO YR HEAVY DIASBETES.IT IS GOOD THAT NOW YR BLOOD SUGAR IS UNDER CONTROL BUT DO NOT REMAIN IN OVERCONFIDENCE PL CHECK YR HB1AC REPORT EEVERY 3 MONTHS AND IT SHOULD BE BELOW 6. PL NOTE THAT DIABETES NEVER CURED IT IS KEPT UNDER CONTROL

[gsnrajan]

good.

[kapilv]

Ìve taken a glucose tolerance test at home, and had fasting levels by 2 hours.

[kapilv]

It would differ with people. Only a doctor could prescribe. But, Ìve had powders of kaattujeerakam, madhumardana choornam etc.

[kapilv]

Millet based breakfast. Brown rice for lunch and dinner. Cluster beans, Coccinia grandis, bitter gourd, snake gourd side dishes with lunch. Butter milk boiled with turmeric ( kaachi mooru). Gruel and green gram for dinner. Several herbal powders and amla juice+raw turmeric juice+Chittamruthu juice thrice a day. Was adviced to stay off all non-vegetarian and oily food while on medicine. A few months of this regime also cured my long-standing fatty liver.

[alwaysoptimistic]

What is your HbA1c?

[kapilv in reply to alwaysoptimistic]

5.6 on last check.

[alwaysoptimistic in reply to kapilv]

Good!

[alwaysoptimistic in reply to kapilv]

Do you take normal diet?

[kapilv in reply to alwaysoptimistic]

Yeah, normal diet now. Including non-veg. But, I doǹt go overboard.

[alwaysoptimistic in reply to kapilv]

OK!

[alwaysoptimistic in reply to kapilv]

Can you elaborate your treatment?

[alwaysoptimistic in reply to kapilv]

Waiting for reply!

[kapilv in reply to alwaysoptimistic]

Ok, I had herbal medicines(siddha)+veg reduced calorie diet+exercise .The siddha medicines were both to treat blood sugar and reduce bodyfat. The diet included vegetables that are traditionally favoured by diabetics - like bitter gourd, ivy gourd, turmeric etc. Exercise was interval training and strength training, with walking for a while after every meal.

[alwaysoptimistic in reply to kapilv]

From where one can get Sidhha medicines?

[kapilv in reply to alwaysoptimistic]

Its mainly practised in Tamil Nadu. I was lucky to find a good practitioner in Kerala, where I live.

[alwaysoptimistic in reply to kapilv]

In UP?

[kapilv in reply to alwaysoptimistic]

Yoùll have to search. Or I believe the Penquin series has a good book on the system. But, nothing like seeing a GOOD doctor in person.

[alwaysoptimistic in reply to kapilv]

Then how one can go through treatment?

[kapilv in reply to alwaysoptimistic]

Well, doǹt.

[nairrajis in reply to kapilv]

you have improved your BS results. consistency pays. Good work.

Good diet with proper or may I say correct medications, exercise and weight training to build body muscles (as stated by Dr M.V Prasad) will give you the desired results. Congrats.

Can i ask you a favor? since I am from TVM, can you give me the address or phone number of the vaidhyasala Swami Gorakhnath in Paravur.

Good bless and keep good health.
