I am 55, and I found out I am a diabetic just a month and half ago. fasting sugar was 400 then and on subsequent week again it rose to 411. Then I started dieting and exercise and now it is 260 for the last three weeks. I would like to get rid of this menace and I am healthy in all other aspects. I would like to have your opinion about how to cure this through yoga.

Regards,

Arun

Friend, you can only control diabetes. There's no cure as we know. You can take medicine and get your sugar level to desired level. In most cases through diet, exercise and medicine, in that order you can effectively control diabetes. Yoga, gym walking are all part of the regimen. IMHO just doing yoga does not cure diabetes.

Hi and welcome to the group.

Can you please let us know what your doctor said at your appointment ( type 1, 1.5 (LADA)or 2 diabetes)? Are you being told to count carbs for each meal and snack?

Hi, thanks, great work you are doing moderating this thread.

The doctor has said it is type 2. No, he has not advised me to count carbs. By habit I am a moderate eater, so food intake is not a worry. As a south Indian rice is our staple food.

Here is something where I would like your advice on.

My morning count varies any where between 90 to 155. Post postprandial is 165 max, that count also varies. HbA1c less than 6.8. In short the counts vary day to day months to month. I have been told I may be insulin deficient and my pancreas still functions but at lower efficiency. Have been advised to avoid all sorts oil and oily foods at all cost. Can take small quantity of sweets now and then but not fried items. Am following this advice. Would you please confirm this advice that oil is more harmful than sweets is valid .

Have been dealing with Diabetes Type 2 for the past 10 years and based on this experience I can only confirm what someone else has already mentioned elsewhere - Diabetes cannot be cured. It is a condition that one has to live with and make adjustments in your life to ensure that the damage done is minimal. Having said that, a person can lead a perfectly normal life (I have travelled to more than 20 countries during this period and lived under all kinds of conditions) taking care that you make the necessary corrections in your life style. Monitoring the intake of carbs, and ensuring the right amount of exercise requires to be done. And regular monitoring of Blood Glucose levels by testing at home and making adjustments in the food that you eat based on the test results helps in a big way. You have mentioned about Rice being a standard component of your food - I would suggest you examine this again. My experience is that standard Rice has not been good for me - I very rarely eat Rice and only if it is Brown Rice. These are the kind of adjustments that you might wish to make in your life.
