hOW MANY TIMES A DAY A DIABETIC PERSON SHOULD EAT? ## Hi Juan, This is a rather difficult question to answer since everyone's body works differently. If you're simply trying to lower your blood glucose levels, it's not just about how often you eat, but what you eat and how much of it you're eating. For the average person with diabetes, a target glucose level before meals should be anywhere from 70 to 130. After meal targets should also be less than 180. Because these numbers are so dependent on what you eat as well, it would probably be best to start seeing a dietician or nutritionist who can help you come up with a weekly meal plan and grocery list that keeps you on track with things. Were you diagnosed with type 1 or type 2? I only ask because I've heard numerous s...

Hi, I had been diagnosed with Thyroid (Hypo) and my TSH was 100+ in the month of May'2013. At that time, my BP was slightly high (137/91) and weight 66 Kgs. I was prescribed to take Thyroxcin 100mcg. Later in the late July'2013, my TSH was 0.04 and BP was (147/73) and weight 62.9 Kgs. I was advised to continue Thyroxcin 100mcg for another 2 months but at home, my parents insisted me not to take such a high dose when TSH has fallen down to 0.04 and told me to take Thyroxin 50mcg which i am continuing since then.. On 4th Dec 2013, My TSH was 4.68, BP was (140/110) and weight 64Kgs. I changed my doctor and i was advised to take Thyronorm 50 mcg & Thyrowell and was advised to visit next month with FT3, FT4, TSH, TPO AB tests.

Does Gluconorm PG 2 creat Paralisis? ## Hello, Subhash! How are you? No, the medication shouldn't cause that. Has a doctor been consulted? How bad is the paralysis? Diabetes can cause many complications, even if someone's sugar levels seem to be under control. So, it could be due to some nerve damage, or other injury.

Or some thing els is there. ## Hi, Baba! Sorry about the problems that your son is having. What did the doctor say caused those glucose levels?

However, I'm not a doctor and haven't seen all the reports, so I can't tell you with any certainty. Only his doctor can do that. Did the doctor suggest any treatme...

The novel and innovative process of creating FENFURO™ has been granted a U.S. patent. This product, derived from a group of Furostanolic Saponins extracted from Fenugreek seeds (TRIGONELLA FOENUM-GRAECUM), represents a technological breakthrough in the realm of diabetes management. Numerous studies have explored the blood cholesterol-lowering and blood glucose-lowering properties of FENFURO™, finding its application beneficial both in normal subjects and those with diabetes. A significant reduction in total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, and triglyceride levels, with no notable impact on HDL cholesterol levels, has been observed in type-1 and type-2 diabetics. FENFURO™ is rich in saponins and flavonoids, substances known for their potential to lower blood lipid levels a...

are there any small diabetic pills or powders or liquids for people who have difficulty swallowing large pills? ## Not to sway off-topic or anything but if you have type-2 Diabetes, have you ever been aware that it can actually be reversed and cured by changing your diet? There has been scientific evidence for a while now, demonstrating how Diabetes type 2 is caused by an excess of fat in the bloodstream, which then causes unstable blood glucose levels, an over-production of insulin, 
and an over-working of the pancreas. The simple approach that is suggested is to eat a very low fat diet that is high in "natural" sugar and moderate amounts of protein. This ideally comes from eating plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables, with the occasional nuts and seeds. I wou...

I have been using gluconorm-G1 (one before breakfast and 1 before dinner) for last 3 years, but my fasting glucose level has gone out of control since last 2 weeks. (it is around 186 to 215). Doctor has prescribed 'Reclimet' and asked to discontinue Gluconorm-G1. Is Recliment better than Gluconorm-G1 ## Yes, the Reclimet may help more, because it actually contains 2 oral antidiabetic medications, Gliclazide and Metformin, to help provide better control of your blood sugar. Learn more Gliclazide details here. Learn more Metformin details here. Do you have any idea why it has gotten out of control? Have you made any changes to your diet recently? ## Thanks Verwon, No significant change in my diet. I did try using Reclimet, but that did not help in controlling my sugar level, so I ...
