what i am doing for diabetes control- daily routines-

[rallabandi]

iam aged 62 . male. retired.- vegetarian. no hot drinks. -south indian-

i suffer from diabetes since 13 years. i have B.P also.i underwent byepass surgery for heart in 2010.

apart from taking the allopathy medicines prescibed by doctors for daily use for bp,sugar and heart, i follow the following routines.

1. daily morning after getting up around 5.30 a.m, i take hot drinking water atleast 4 or 5 glasses.

2. after taking hot water, i consume a home made mixture made of (a) turmeric powder

(b) mentho powder (c) dry amla( crushed ) powder (d) soya bean powder.

all the above are dry powders only.

each ingredient is 25% of total mixture.

i take one or half tea spoon powder with warm water daily before coffee or tea.

3. after the above 2 steps,i go for morning walk for about 4 km every day ( may be around one hour).

i take local bus for most of my personal works,walk up to bus stand and walk back to house after completing my jobs. this may give me daily another half or 1 k.m extra walk.

4.break fast idly or dosa.lunch dalia( wheat -semi grinded)with other items like dal,rasam,sambar,curry, butter milk..

evening snacks,tea or coffee,-summer watermeln juice-

all through the day lot of water is taken.

5. latest fasting sugar is 116 post lunch 246. bp 125/85

of late i started homeo medicine.-dr.nanduri hoemeo clinic-they have website also.

6. i shall let u know about the hoemeo medicine effect on my sugar levels -after use of the same for atleast 1 or 2 mnths.

thanks

You are taking both allopathic and homeopathy medicines but your diabetes is not under control.Please keep monitoring and find a correct course of action.

So inspite of all u have a heart problem. No control on ur BP,or sugar levels. Do u take any food also apart from the stuff u mentioned. What is advise !

[Pottekkat]

You don't take medicines for blood sugar and BP ??

You mentioned that as soon as you get up in the morning, you consume 4/5 glasses warm water but I would suggest that you should consume cold water and that too about one litre water should be consumed. Before you proceed to walk, consume 4/5 garlics( just cut them into pieces and simply swallow them followed by water ). This will help in controlling your BP and cholestrol. Daily you consume 4/5 almonds and it is good for BP and blood sugar. Then I would also suggest that you consume 3/4 cups green tea daily. Green tea is very good for controlling diabetes.

My dear Rallabandi:

In plain language, you are experimenting quackery on yourself …. could prove dangerous. Because your sugar levels are not satisfactory, especially the reading after lunch. (PPBS readings are to be taken between 1.1/2 to 2 hours after breakfast.) You are talking of the after lunch reading without specifying the time gap between having lunch and taking the reading. It is time that you consult a good diabetologist, and manage your diabetes in a scientifically acceptable manner, in your own interest.

I am going to be 74 in the next few months and a diabetic for the past 31 years. I continue to take the help of a bright young allopathic expert at Bangalore. My latest sugar readings are (fasting) 80 and (PPBS) 189. Last month, PPBS was 151. The deterioration is because this time, I consumed some sweet dish with breakfast before going for PPBS.

I do not know your location, but if Hubli is closer to you, meet Dr.Pramod Hiremath (9886242124), who runs a full fledged diabetic hospital there He avoids prescribing unnecessary tests also.

Good Luck,

N.Narasimhan
