What Is The Best And Cheap Treatment For Diabetes?
Posted in Definition on 18. Feb, 2010
My mother is about 45 yrs old, she is suffering from Diabetes for 22 yrs. She is going very weak and thin day by day. Her weight is about 35 kg or less. We can’t afford expensive treatment like Insulin, expensive devices. Her eyesight is also very weak and bones also. If somebody has some suggestions or treatments, pls answer (we are in India)
Treatment includes a diet limited in carbohydrates and saturated fat, exercise to burn glucose, and regular insulin injections, sometimes administered via a portable insulin pump. Transplantation of islet cells has also proved successful since 1999, after new transplant procedures were developed, but the number of pancreases available for extraction of the islet cells is far smaller than the number of Type I diabetics. Patients receiving a transplant must take immunosuppressive drugs to prevent rejection of the cells.
Noninsulin-dependent diabetes
Noninsulin-dependent diabetes (Type 2), also called adult-onset diabetes, results from the inability of the cells in the body to respond to insulin. About 90% of diabetics have this form, which is more prevalent in minorities and usually occurs after age 40. Although the cause is not completely understood, there is a genetic factor and 90% of those affected are obese. As in Type I diabetes, treatment includes exercise and weight loss and a diet low in total carbohydrates and saturated fat. Some individuals require insulin injections; many rely on oral drugs, such as sulphonylureas, metformin, or acarbose.
There is no better treatment for diabetes than insulin and what you are talking about. There are other treatments, but they are more expensive.
You don’t say if she has Type 1 (formerly known as Juvenile diabetes) or Type 2 (formerly known as Adult onset diabetes). There’s a big difference between the two types.
If she has Type 1, no special shortcut/hyped solution/herbal treatment in the world will help her. She has a life-threatening disease. Her body doesn’t make enough insulin, a chemical that she needs to function fully. She needs insulin. Now! If cost is a factor, you can do several things. If you have insurance, see what their coverage is. Check if there are governmental programs in India for low-income people. Sometimes (at least here in the U.S.) you can get financial assistance directly from the insulin manufacturers. Try contacting manufacturers such as Novo Nordisk (makers of Novalog insulin), Lilly (makers of Lispro), Aventis Pharmaceuticals (makers of Lantus and Humalog) directly to see if they can help. I don’t know international distributor information so you’ll have to do some homework.
If she has Type 2, proper nutrition and exercise *may* help. Keep her away from foods that are high in sugar and carbs. Make sure she gets a well balanced diet that includes a variety of vegetables. There are oral medicines that can help–some names to research are Precose, Glyset, Glucophage, Prandin, and Avandia. Again, maybe manufacturers could help you.
Either way, it sounds like she is in very poor shape and needs medical attention right away! Her poor eyesight probably comes from years of neglecting her diabetes. If she dies, you’ll wish you had found a way to save her.
Good luck to you.
beside the medicines.. Cinnamon is one of the great herbal medicine and there are several of scientific researchs support that..There are a couple of herbal .. called Gymnema sylvestre ( Sorry I might spell it wrong) but the plant is originate from India!! so you might be able to find it..it has been used for 1000 yrs ( well I just quote what I saw) and other one called Fenugreek – plant also.. I used these herbal myself( but I also use regular medicine and excercise intensively) and they help be a lots..I have everything under control less than 3 months. I was very ill when i got diagnosed and I never used insulin or any expensive devices at all. So I believe you can do this too.
Good luck..
You could try coconut oil. You are in India so my guess is coconut oil is readily available. I’m no expert but I am starting to believe that hydrogenated oils are the cause of diabetes. Your mother is weak and thin because her body can’t get any glucose. Giving her simple carbohydrates and sugars might overly tax her pancreas though. Give her more fish as well. The omega-3 oils present in fish, well I don’t understand the details but they supposedly help. And also more vitamin C so that more energy gets absorbed into her cells. Sincerely hope your mom gets better. My mom is 78, very active, always walking, and she avoids American-style foods (factory and fast foods) like the plague. Her only complaint is her joints.

Grind and let her drink it.
i think you need insulin. period. don’t you have state assitanship for socially insecure? go to the United Nations health agencies.. they might help..
I have never tried this treatment myself, but it was recommended to me. Cinnamon or Cinnamon extract is supposed to naturally help regulate blood sugar. Again I have never tried it, just heard about it. They make Cinnamon supplements your mom could take. I would consult a doctor first.
Diet & Exercise will always win out over medication though this sounds more like 22 years of poor treatment entering terminal stage. Good Luck -
