Hi,

I am a lady of 60+,was a pathologist,interested in herbal medicines for helping people to help themselves.I have done some studies my self as far as diabetes is concerned.

Some important facts one should know before declaring.... you are a diabetic.

(1).Do not be mislead by getting one blood sample reading if you are advised by your doctor.Go for GTC....Glucose tolerance curve with minimum 5 readings,for the first TIME

(2) Before the blood test verify that you are under medication like Corticosteroids /or not.

(3) See that you follow the guidelines given by your pathologist like no food after 8.PM etc.before going for blood test

I have so much to share,by the time you finish reading you'll be cleared diabetes..if not physically but mentally,Which will help you to be free your self of diabetes with out medication .Because even US research Institution agree that the Pharma medicines are really dangerous to health.

Is Diabetes type 2 fully curable by Auyrved or Homeopath ?

When I was diagnosed with type 2 in July 2011, my fasting Blood Sugar read 299 , PP 326 and Hba1c 10.6 !!

I was immediately put on metformin which I continued for just over a year before every reading became normal. Then when Hba1c read 5.9 , I quit medicine. Today with diet control and exercise (walking only) I'm able to contain Hba1c within 6.0 (5.9) .

Is this progress encouraging? Can I be cured now ??

[sailendraprasad]

my self sailendra prasad i am a diabities patient and interested to know about its curity means how we can low our suger lable and what is the balanced food which give energy and power in diabeties dieses

[kendriyavidyalaya in reply to sailendraprasad]

Its mainly combination of 50 mins of walking daily. If you can do evening walk post Dinner,that would wonders in controlling the sugar.

From Food Perspective, it is always AVOID GPS-

Grains

Potatoes

Sugar

I am sure the last 2 can be avoided, but first one is difficult for Indian diet. So, we need to totally avoid Rice and Wheat. Please switch to Coarse grains like Jowar and Ragi. They are wonderful grains to have.

Thanks Anup for good advice. I've not checked Vit D level but I've started taking its supplement , Tayo, 16,000 IU,once a week. I'm sure my D level is inadequate as I'm hardly exposed to sun light.

I'm not taking any medicine for Diabetes though I'm on Zinc supplement, Cobadex CZX, fish oil supplement C-Doc etc.

I'm taking karela and also Methi almost daily besides being moderate in eating, a veg. Checked Prostate and thyoride , both normal. Is it all OK?

I am a doctor who is practicing functional medicine.Nowadays there is a trend towards complete reversal of type 2 diabetes.It is possible even with simple steps.The Newcastle method is one among the many options used.

I am a diabetic from last 22 years. Taking tables thrice in a day prescribed by my MD Gold Medalist Doctor, in Ahmedabad. From 1st February, 2013 have started diatery suplimentory i.e. Gel, tablets etc of pure & natural. After one month of this date had checked my ppbs level nearly 5/6 times in lab and to my surprise, always got within 140 level. I took this alongwith my alopathic tables. Earlier with alopathic tables, this level hardly reached and most of the time it was ranging from 160 to 250. Interestingly, my intake capacity of food has been become lower and without getting any uneasiness or lower of suger and above all feel always fresh. This is for all the diabetician.
