Diabetes - which treatment line to choose?
I need help for family member who has a tendency to have higher sugar levels and has a sweet tooth (which has now stopped for quite some time).
The sugar levels of the patient (aged 45 years) are about 180 after 2 hrs and 120 after 4 hrs. Fasting in the morning is 140. Till now he has been managing through exercise (walking about 5-8 km), taking natural supplements like amla, aloe vera, vinegar, giloy and methi (all at different times of the day). The patient is not overweight, doesn't drink, smoke or eat non-veg and eats less of fried food. The diabetes is largely genetic (running in family).
We now feel that he should start with some treatment. We first thought of Ayurveda but reports of IME-9 on Internet have been very discouraging.
There are no inputs about Homeopathy whether it helps or just placebo.
So I solicit your help to decide if we should: -
(a) Continue with natural therapy only and increase exercise or add any other natural supplement.
(b) Start with Ayurveda treatment.
(c) Start with Homeopathy for long term treatment.
(d) Forget making efforts and straightaway opt for allopathic medicine.
Any other advice also will be most welcome.
Hope we can get some informed/experienced advice on this forum which can help reverse or at least better manage the condition/diabetes.
