i am surprised to find topics and news alerts from mylot.. which are over 4 years old. and, none seem to have bothered about the adverse effects of certain drugs, which are thrusted upon the innocent victims in the USA.. avandia.. it is now known that the FDA authorities, pharma companies, and all doctors also knew well that AVANDIA, the drug prescribed for controlling the altered blood sugar levels... causes heart troubles.
there is a senate committee report, FDA information, and all. BUT, now, read a fresh report here: http://diabetes.webmd.com/news/20100714/fda-panel-splits-over-avandia-ban?ecd=wnl_nal_071410
at the same time, when we talk about diabetes, we should be taking the altered blood sugar levels also in to the topic. AND, here I am giving another link, which talks about HYPO GLYCEMIA .. or lowered blood sugar, and how to identify the symptoms.

i wish all the diabetics over the world.. would get alert, and try to activate their insulin/pancreas, instead of popping pills.. in blind belief.
goodluck.

Hi CT - I feel so proud that you are a Telugu boy, that too from my city - and you studied in same place as I did. :)
For all those diabetics out there, let me tell you all honestly - homeopathy works - psychological or otherwise - without any adverse side effects. I am not a homeopath but I am vouching for it because it has kept me out of hospitals so far. I am 51 and proud to be healthy enough to say so!
I do have leg pains - but that is because of an accident and not because of any diabetes or aging symptoms. Even those decrease when I take those pills, which I dont bother with out of laziness more than anything. :) Anyway, no diabetes, no hypertension, no skin diseases thanks to homeopathy. :)

avandia has a number of side effects that they put in small if not
tiny print,that should h ave been pulled off the shelves when they first found out about causing heart problems as it has other serious side effects, causes fluid retention, causes thinning of bones, and causes loss of red blood cells causing anemias, these are not mentioned only the heart one, and taking avandia caused me to have crushed smashed bones in my left shoulder when I had a bad fall so now I have an artificial shoulder joint and have to t ake iron pills every day from severe anemia these side effects did not hit the papers. just the heart one. shame on them.

thanks vandana ... for your instant response, and, for supporting me! and, telling us the facts about your health. it is not always that people share their personal views on health.. because, they think, it is a shame to denounce allopathy. ...
and, HATLEY.. .thanks a million to you too....
regarding the side effects of AVANDIA ... i just collected and mentioned the HEART troubles.. to hit the dull-heads.. who blindly follow the government and manufacturer guarantees. ...

When we are trying to give advice them, they just store it in dustbin.

hiya.. thanks vanny. .. and for those who read this, HERO HONDA .. is a 125cc bike, .. which her father seems to be riding with all the ease and efficiency of a teenager. .. cheers to him. MAY he be riding this around all girls' colleges too!~ ....
and, as you are very right, .. HOMOEOPATHY works on the entire system, and not on particular symptoms. .. so, there might not be a total appearance of vanishing symptoms..
I wish you both a 100 more years, dear vandana
