INSULIN FREE

Mohannandigana1952 profile image

I AM TAKING INSULIN (LANTUS AND ACTARAPID) FROM PAST EIGHT YEARS. MY DOCTOR SAYS HE WILL MAKE ME AN INSULIN FREE PERSON. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW FROM THE EXPERTS IS IT POSSIBLE TO MAKE A DIABETIC PATIENT AT THE AGE OF 68 INSULIN FREE?

It depends on your C-Peptide level!Have you ever carried out this test ?

If there is still some residual beta cells left, your doctor may stop insulin and try with new oral drugs such as DPP4 inhibitors, SGLT2 & GLP1 ...along with a proper diet and physical exercise !

May God Bless you

Sir,

I am no expert.

Using food as medicine you can control all blood numbers.

Life style change. Have a look at what you eat and times.?

Eat evening meal before 7 PM. Have breakfast after 9 AM. A simple lunch. Plenty of walking exercise as well.

Cut down on all free and hidden sugar. Eat small grain food, lots of fresh fruits and over ground greens. Take a look at Asian specie and use then to your advantage.

Take care.

* You have to take fast at least 12 hours at night daily.

* brisk walking for 30 minutes daily.
