Hi, I am diabetic since last one year. My sugar levels are under control with metlong 500 twice a day.

[aarkay804]

Since few days, I am feeling numbness in the heel of my right foot. When I press it, I don't fully feel it. Sometimes there is light burning sensation in the heel although I don't feel any numb feeling while walking. Please advice.

[rbn1960]

There could be few reaons for these, but its better you tell your doctor about these symptoms:

- probability of variation in sugar levels during your day even though FBS and PPBS might be normal;

- B12 deficiency

Let me repeat, better to consult your doctor and discuss above points also.

HTH, thanks...

Dear Anup Sir,

First of all let me thank you for your concern and research. You are absolutely right that I test bs once in a fortnight/month. My random test 2 days back is 132 and PP today is 142. I am 45, my height is 5'4" and weight is 75kg Approx. I have lost 4kg approx weight in last 4-6 months.

1. I try to take walk daily afternoon 5-6 kms.

2. I break my fast with cinnamon and lemon water. In the morning, I eat seasonal raw vegetables and fruits like cabbage, capsicum, bitter gourd, Keenu, tomato, pomongrenate, papaya along with 100ml milk with oats or cornflakes.

3. After 1hour or so, I take 2 chapati with cooked vegeatable.

4. In the evening I take green tea with some biscuits.

5. Dinner is similar to lunch.

6. Sometimes there is deviation and I take fried snacks.

6. I am taking metlong 500mg twice a day, ecosprin150mg, amlopres-AT (bp),aurel sermon gold once in the morning on the advice of my doctor.

7. I had started feeling lack of energy and tiredness but after taking (20 days) sermon now I am o.k.

8. My doctor advised me to take alpride-M in the evening instead of metlong 500mg, but I had some flutterring, sinking feeling in the heart and also felt some sound on the lower side abdomen (Kidney location, I suppose). I discontinued the medicine after 3 doses and restarted taking metlong in the evening. I have yet to report to my doctor about this.

9. I started alopathic treatment 6 months ago, previously I was taking only Homoeopathy, then my bs remained in the range of 120/150 fasting and 160/240 PP. and my bp 155/110. I still am continuing with homeopathy as without it sometimes I feel hunger pangs after taking food. I had bp 150/100 since 3-4 years although initially Rouvolfia (homeopathy)controlled my bp but since last 1.5 years it's was not working.

10. My bp is normal now 110/70. I have noticed when my sugar increases, bp also increased simultaneously inspite of bp medicine.

11. Please advice how frequently should I check my bs and other course of action.

12. Your advise of not consuming more than 120gm carbo seems to be very useful guideline in maintaining bs.

I hope you won't mind such detailed reply. Please advice.

Regards

Arvind

Dear Arvind,

Pls. don't stop Homeopathy. Both Ayurveda and Homeopathy have limited scope in controlling Blood Sugar levels, but they do great job of preventing complications even in the long run. Even your Homeopath might say the same and may not care much about higher sugar levels, but for our satisfaction of controlling sugar we should continue Allopathy also. Thanks...

[aarkay804]

Dear rbn Sir,

Yes, I will continue with Homeopathy. I have great belief in Homeopath and my doctor. He says high bs is due to fatty liver and he is basically treating my fatty liver. And he is a great advocate of raw vegetables and fruits as he says fruits are not luxury, but they are necessary.

Many Thanks Anup Sir for your kind advice. Rock salt means what we call Sendha namak, I suppose. Please clarify.

Dear Anup,

I am very much encouraged by your ability to think out of box and experiments and above all willingness to share it for the welfare of all. Many thanks to you for this.

I used to think that CARBS AND FATS are one and the same thing. Now I have decided to further cut down my chapati and stop eating biscuits and bakery items. Can you tell me which things besides wheat contain high % of CARBS and can wheat be mixed with other grains to make the % of CARBS less.

Regards

Arvind

[aarkay804]

Thanks a lot Anupji for your guidance. I am switching to Low Carb diet.

With Regards

Sure Anupji

[aarkay804]

Dear Anupji,

Everything is under control but a new problem is arising, please advice.

I feel upper part of my left foot (behind fingers) as if some web or some light cloth is lying on it, that kind of feeling or some very very light sensation has started coming. Or as if I have applied some very light muscle relief ointment on it. It started a couple of days ago but now it is very distinct. I am feeling tense.

Now fingers of my left hand are also having burning sensation. Please advice at the earliest.
