My mother has advanced Diabetes, please help?

If your mother was prescribed insulin then maybe oral medications have little or no use for her right now.Maybe her pancreas is not producing insulin anymore,so insulin injections is necessary,or her blood sugar levels is too high to be managed by oral medications. If her blood sugar is still high despite insulin treatment,you should tell her attending physician that her blood sugar is still high,she may need to increase the dosage of her insulin or change to another type. Ampalaya or bitter gourd melon is widely use for the treatment of diabetes in the Philippines.They are using the juice from the leaves and capsule forms are available in the market.However,as I mentioned if your mother was prescribed insulin,then maybe she really needs insulin.You can use supplements or alternative medicine as and additional treatment but not as sole treatment for advance diabetes.You need to consult her attending physician regarding her uncontrolled blood sugar.

I can only suggest Chinese Traditional Medicine for diabetes mellitus patients. But first consult your doctor because proper medication is still the best and please don't stop that insulin injection as needed. Second you can give her Tiens products like Cordyceps, Chitosan, Zinc and Double Ginseng. Tiens is the best alternative supplement for patients with diabetes. Take note, this is not medicine but food supplements and I still suggest that you consult your family physician first. Don't self medicate your mother, be responsible by taking the prescribe medication given by her attending physician.

The nutritional components of Apple Cider Vinegar help control the rise in blood sugar levels when you eat a meal. 1. Take 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar and add a pinch of salt to it. 2. Mix it in a glass of water. 3. Drink this before every large meal. Supplements containing essential fatty acids, such as Flaxseed Oil, can help repair the cellular damage caused by a lifetime of high sugar consumption. 1. Combine 4 oz. of cottage cheese with 1.5 oz. of flax seed oil and 1 oz. of milk into a blender. 2. Add honey or fresh fruits to add sweetness. 3. Blend this mixture and drink daily each morning. Whole foods such as fruits,vegetables, grains, beans, nuts, and seeds are rich in fiber and other nutritional factors that help stabilize blood sugar levels. 1. Eat at least five fruits every day. Fruits like banana, blackberry, blueberries, cranberries, figs, grapefruit, pomegranate juice, granny smith apples, kiwi fruits, and citrus fruits are highly recommended. 2. Try to eat every color from whole foods each day to control high blood sugar levels. Excellent vegetables include artichoke, black beans, cabbage, carrots, cucumber, garlic, lettuce, onion, radish, string beans, tomatos, spinach, squash, turnip, and brown rice. Using bitter gourd in cooking helps. You can boil it in water, put some salt in and drink it once a day. It is bitter but it helps. Congratulation for being such a good son.

I suggest to your mother that she should drink green barley herb or take some herbal medicines like REH herbal. It's quite bitter in taste but I can guarantee that it will reduce her blood sugar gradually.

My stepfather was also hospitalized because of that. His vision went low. Avoid eating too much rice. Taking herbal products like bitter gourd or horse raddish i think will help. Regularly check her blood.

i feel like i'm being a bit of a sneak here. i assume from what you say your mother is at home now. if you mother had a diet high in suger she may be having trouble giving it up, consuming sugar can lift our mood, people call it a sugar rush, and because of that it can be quite addictive. she may not be controlling what she eats properly. i would, very tactfully, talk to her about her diet.

oh my g do not play doctor with diabetes via natural crapl, insuling in the proper doses will bring y our moms blood sugar down but she has to behave and not eat a lot of carb crap.I suggest you talk more with her doctor and let him know her blood sugar is stillhigh so he can adjust the amountof insulin as she needs more. herbs alone will just kill her,she needs insulin never play docto go to the doctor and if you are not satisfied get to another doctor who specializes in diabetes instead.I am a diabetic and have been treating min successfullywith two oral medications but I eat wisely and am trying to lose weight.if she is obese she must lose weight as it will help her control her blood sugar.you need to find an endocrinologist doctor who deals only with diabetes and get her insulim uped.
