Attend to Diabetes in place of medicine

[Bhanwre]

I find that diabetic patients are vulnerable to CKD.

It is best to learn about how to improve your diabetic condition with diet modification (using sensors) than take medicines.

This is based on the experiences of my brother in law.

Why take medicine if diet improves (type 2) diabetes?

While diet impacts many diseases, it is not a cure. Some of us are unable to change our diet dramatically for a variety of reasons. For example, since I have no colon and a parastomal hernia that is prone to blockages, I avoid veggies, fruits and other high fiber foods. In the US there are serious food deserts where people in poverty are unable to even buy fresh fruits and vegetables. Diet and exercise can impact disease, but they can't cure people.

I agree totally; I think the health care professionals make assumptions about a patients ability and desire to follow recommended procedures that are not realistic or desirable for everyone.

I believe that a raw diet is best for anyone to maintain his/ her health. One needs to listen to his/ her body for non-suitability of some raw foods/ nuts etc to ensure that we can improve our condition.

Easier said than done for many, but it is indeed the best way to avoid complications of any kind - especially Diabetic Nephropathy.

The difference between a diabetic and a normal person is high blood sugar. Maintaining normal blood sugars offers to best chance to avoid diabetic complications.
