My diabetes was uncontrolled even by taking insulin.Doses was increased from 10 units to 100 units but the result was same as if without insulin under Dr.s advise only. After 20 days, i went to medical store and purchased all different type of insulin. I surprised when cheapest insulin was taken. it has come under control with only 10 units. i told Dr. about this and he has accepted that acceptance level of insulin also depends from person to person metabolism. You will have to take on trial and error bases which brand and type insulin suits to your body/metabolism.At that moment Boots insulin was suitable for me.After 10 years i have to switchove to Novo as ther was shortage of Boots insulin.

Then onwards i am taking Novo make insulatard in the morning and actrapid before lunch and dinner and it is always under control.

My doses has reduced by 50% since last two years when i started yoga that is 1. kapalbhati for 5 minutes and2. anulog belog for 15 minutes.It really works anf keep fresh. I have just retired from my service abot a month back as i have to go to abroad for my social responsibilities otherwise i would have continued my job.

Novo insulin is available in India.i am taking 3 times to have very good control. Itake novo insulatard 12 units in the morning before breakfast which effects for 24 hours. novo actrapid insulin 6 units before meal.Name of the insulin itself is INSULETARD AND ACTRAPID. I am using Novo Pen for injecting which is pain free and most comfortable. Needle size is 30x6 means needle dia is only 0.3 mmand length is 6 mm. Pen is costing only Rs. 600.00 and no problem faced even after usage of 20 years.You need to change needle after 4-6 pinches.

Ultra-2 one touch blood testing m/c is also very accurate. I have compared results with lab and at the same time same drop of blood at lab and found results at par.

yes yoga and exercise along with timely food after 2-3 hrs play big roll in controlling diebeties.

With yoga you have sound sleep and when you have sound sleep your morning diebeties is alway low this is my personnel experience but it may differ from person to person.Though I had Yoga & Excercise at Jindal but probally was not having proper timely food the morning diebeties incresed.

I must congratulate Sri Kumarpopat. It is always trial and error for curing any ailment. Yoga is helpful to keep body, mind and soul (invisible God) that leads to perfect cure provide it is NISHKAAMA. I believe only two things a human can do for himself and rest for others. Those 2 things are Body exercise and Soul exercise (i.e. prayer in any form)

Thank you for sharing your personal experience with us regarding the usage INSULETARD AND ACTRAPID my advise is boady weight and muscle mass index must be normalized,the

target organs of dibate are to be well investigated.knee joint degenerative changes may be

noticed. regarding constipation.the use of medicated castor oil is essential.

with wishing you the happy returns of the coming years.
