I (51 years) am at "borderline" diabetic i.e 125 on fasting and less than 200 after eating. I was prescribed homeopathic medicine plus dietary controls and exercise,
Now my levels are well within limits. 80 on fasting and 110 on eating.
I stopped eating any sweet including in tea. Reduced rice and eat more wheat and ragi.
reduced chiken and normal fish. Doing half an hour brisk walk, stretching and yoga for half an hour in the morning and normal walk of half an hour in the evening.
Last six month I reduced my weight from 78 to 68 kg. I stopped smoking and alcohol for the last six months.
Friends please suggest, anything more need to be done to escape from type 2 diabetics.

DOING MORE THAN WHAT IS REQUIRED, EXCELLENT CONTROL ON DIABETES, AVOID TAKING PANTOP ON DAILY BASIS, WHICH IS NOT REQUIRED AT ALL, IF YOU ASK ANY PHYSICIAN, THEY WILL ADVISE YOU NOT TO TAKE PANTAPRAZOLE OR RABEPRAZOLE OR ANY PPI , FOR NOT MORE THAN 14 DAYS.
These things you are doing is good for the control of Diabetes. You shouold continue with this daily. My Yoga Guru said that when you fast and dont have meals then that day you can leave the yoga or when you have fever etc. you can leave yoga.
assuch what youn are doing is best course.ontinue that.
Dear Salvaraj, May God keep giving you strength to do things as advised by the mediator (doctor Mohan) to keep you healthy and more particularly sugar & BP free future.
Dear Selvaraj 61 takes Pantop 40 i.e Pantoprazole daily. It must be omitted to keep the liver free from being damaged. Instead he may take R-37 for gas and flatulence. Actually, taking PPI for long time may have some addictive power as a result of which it is very hard for one to bid it good bye. But an prolific effort is needed to come out of its spell. My God shower on him His Grace.
