Did you try using aloe vera, it is known to reduce blood glucose levels
http://nccam.nih.gov/health/aloevera/
People with diabetes who use glucose-lowering medication should be cautious if also taking aloe by mouth because preliminary studies suggest aloe may lower blood glucose levels.
From http://cat.inist.fr/?aModele=afficheN&cpsidt=16896493
Quote
In the present study, an attempt has been made to evaluate the presence of antioxidant property in the alcoholic extract of Aloe vera leaf gel. Oral administration of Aloe vera gel extract at a concentration of 300 mg/kgto diabetic rats significantly decreased the levels of blood glucose, glycosylated hemoglobin and increased hemoglobin. The increased levels of lipid peroxidation and hydroperoxides in tissues of diabetic rats were reverted back to near normal levels after the treatment with gel extract. The extract treatment also resulted in a significant increase in reduced glutathione, superoxide dismutase, catalase, glutathione peroxidase and glutathione-S-transferase in the liver and kidney of diabetic rats. These results clearly show the antioxidant property of Aloe vera gel extract. The extract was also more effective than glibenclamide in restoring the values of these parameters.

Manal Sis ,
Yeah, i m really keen to try Aloe Vera , and i m looking forward to give it a try ( i want to make extract at home to the ale plant ) ... i will surely try it , thanx alot for reminding me abt this super thing and for the research, links and all that you did in it, i know its really time taking exercise that you red all the research articles and then find out the right information to put on here , to make it easy for me to get through right information in less time :) Thanx alot sis ...
i m also planing to take short meals time-to-time a day instead of big main meals ( as my Doctor sugesting me since a long time , i think its time to implement on all plans regarding to diabetes ) ... ,, i will update you all time to time abt my BSL , last night as i menntioned that i was feeling hyperglycaemia at tthat time my BSL was around 400mg/dl pre-dinner , and today pre-B.fast it was 222mg/dl ( far high than normal range ) ... i hope it will come to normal range in soon future :) dont worry i m fine and will be all right within a few days ( i mean BSLs will be in normal ranges in soon future ) ....
Thank you :)

Umair,
I hope that you are able to get you blood glucose levels in control very soon. I agree that Aloe Vera should be helpful. Have you tried aloe vera with nigella? Each morning I give both of my children nigella mixed with aloe vera and honey. Wishing you the best and sending prayers your way.

Umair,
You must stick to a proper dietary plan if you hope to control your diabetes. Two large meals a day is asking for trouble. Please listen to the doctor.
http://controllingdiabetes.net/
1. Well balanced diet: diet is the most vital part to lower blood sugar levels naturally. As the food we consume plays a major role in body metabolism we must be very keen to follow diabetic meal plan which insists to take small amounts of food for 4-5 times a day. Particularly low-glycemic food items like granola, oatmeal, beans, bread, peas, peanuts and limited amount of carbohydrate, fat, other protein and fiber rich food stuffs , plenty of fruits and vegetables will help to maintain body sugars as they are easily converted to energy.

You are welcomed Umair :hugfriend
umair i am not sure if using the plant directly is right or not. Is there any possibility that the plant could be infected with parasits or bacteria, how will you be able to know if the plant is okay or not???
I think extract in capsules would be better from this prespective :huh :huh cause they have been tested
manal

Umair,
Diet is everything in managing diabetes. Keeping your blood sugar balanced means eating small nutritious snacks and meals throughout the day - come on buddy this is something that you can do, something that is in your control. Here is one place you can get information about a diabetes diet:
http://diabetes.webmd.com/diabetes-diet-healthy-diet-basics
Having an apple/pear or carrots between meals is a great idea. Never go longer than 3 hours between meals - every two hours is ideal. Also regular exercise - lots of walking will be helpful.
Good luck,
Sharmin

I do not think that contamination of aloe is likely because of its anti-bacteria and anti-parasite properties. However, even though aloe is a miracle when used externally, there are doubts about its safety when taken internally because of its cathartic (purging) properties. I would agree that a measured dose in capsule form is probably a safer way to go.

Hi Umair,
Yeah, I agree with others, you can surely control diabetes fully with careful eating, exercise and insulin.It is fully in your hand, just get as strict with your diabetes, as you are with thal, you will be able to do it.
You should get very efficient with the carb count of your meals. Have many small meals all day and not 1-2 big meals. And walking...yes its the best for beating diabetes. My dad is 75 and walks two hrs daily , takes insulin, and keeps as healthy and buzy like a 25 yr old. I too had gestational diabetes, when I was expecting, but with lots of walking ,insulin and Gods grace things went well.While checking glucose level 6 times a day, i came to know exactly what food and how much causes what sugar level. Small changes like 1 biscuit instead of 2 at a time, brown rice instead of white, food with more fibre, good mix of veggies and protein, minimum fruit juices, sweets, no sugar in beverages, eating early dinner, walking half an hour after lunch and dinner, etc really helped me. Small timely meals, timely insulin keep the hypoglycemis events very less. Be very strict with your daily eating and insulin taking schedule. Also, always keep glucose tablet or sugar handy/in pocket, to avoid any hypoglycemia event.
I dont know much details about Hep C, but with treatment I know people who have controlled it and are living healthy lives.
As you are successfully managing thal you can manage the other thing also.May your strength and hard work control your ailments.
Best wishes.

Umair,
All I know of diabetis isn't a lot. My grandmother developed it because of pancreas cancer. What I know is that you should spread your meals over the day. That's good for every anemic person. I am not swapping the words of exercise in front of your eyes, because I feel already ashamed while typing this.
Umair, I hope you are doing well!! I returned home in late evening. I did install the messenger. It's working really fine.
We have a thunderstorm since 4 hours. I wasn't albe to rescue the parasol. A big concert has been stopped by governent people. I am lucky, still have electricity.

Thank you all ( Sharmin, Andy, Manal, Hopefulmommy & Dore ) , for your really informative replies , these r realy helpful to understand diabetes and to understand how i can cope with diabetes ,, but these are the thing my doc has already adviced me, the proble is that i cant follow these instructions , or in other words i m tried hard but didnn't follow theese , i dont know wat is my reall probleme is , ferriprox 9 a day i think that is the reason of my monster like hungriness , i m monster at eating , cant u believe na, i also cant believe how can i eat that much, my eating habbit is creating probleme more than anything and i think the reason behind that habbit is Faerriprox ... i cant believe how quickly my weight hoover's around 41 to 45 kg , in just 10-12 day it can go up from 41 to 45 and in the other 10-12 days can come back ,, i never been more than 45kg in weight but its not still at 41 or 45 its always moving around ... anywayz , i will try to controle my habbits ... i m really feeling exhausted to this issue , dont want to think more abt BSLs .... i will keep trying if it come's in controle it will b right otherwise i m trying my best and not going to think abt it anymore ... feeling very tired of this ( diabetes ) ....
i visited my doc yesterday she advised me HBA1c test (as BG advised me this as well a lil ago ) , she said me to keep strict record of diabetes ( its another difficult job ) and try to have get good controle over diabetes , she also prescripted me Hep-C test ( i m not gonna check my file to tell you the exact test names at this time ) ... she added a valc+vit-D tablet in my medicines list .. now its time to take decision about interferon , that decision will b taken according to my next Hep-c report ... sigh, let's see wat is gonna happen next ... i won't think more, just wana relax , tired of thinking hahahahaha .... its not the iron, that is more easy to controle than diabetes especially the diabetes with thal , diabetes with thal is really difficult thing to handle ... once i wasn using a forum tha Sajid sugested me that was a diabetes forum , there i got to know that thals always need more/high insulin doses than others ... that i got to know after discussion witha few diabetic thals , and it was mine and Sajid's finding and we (me and Sajid ) was agreed on this point ... i think this post is long one , soooo
Best Regards

Hi Umair
How are you now? How is it going with the diabetes?
You are courageous, Inshaallah you will be able to control it .
Keep fighting against it and as far as possible try to stick to the regime.
(btw i think you should avoid food that come directly from the soil such as potatoes, beetroot, peanuts etc, you should replace your consumption of white flour by brown flour, you should avoid sweet fruits such as bananas etc, you should eat leafy vegetables)
I think that in Pakistan and in India, people do not eat leafy vegetables, but we consume these a lot here. There are some vegetables that we consume in Mauritius which are not known in other parts of the world. There are vegetables such as chouchou (which probably no one knows on this site) would have helped you with your hunger without adding to your sugar level but you will not have them at your place. Try to adjust with what you have there.
(correct me if there is any mistake)
Take care

Hi Jade ,
i m fit n fine .. n hope that you'll be fine n enjoying your life too .. :)
Thanx alot for your concern and sugestions, i m really thankful of you ... you're absolutely write at all, there is nothing wrong in you post :) ...
About Diabetes condition : i mentioned on Facebook just a few moments ago , here's that statement :
BSL : on july-1st pre-dinner 188mg/dl aahh coming back to normal : on july-2nd pre-dinner 178mg/dl wow more improvement : on july-3rd pre-dinner 263mg/dl jumped back to high [sigh]...... trying my level's best , so I decided not to worry abt it ...
About leafy vegetables : green, leaf vegetables are rich iron vegies (eg. saag dont know wat its called in english :wink ) , well i will think about it again bcoze as many of thalpal members has said that body cant absorb much iron from vegetables and fruits .... i m avoiding all kind of foods that made of potatos and also avoiding bananas , there is a big list of food which i m avoiding , i just on regular diet (wheat flour's bread [called "Roti" here, and that is most simple form of bread) with normal home made meals, no anything else , no fruits ( now a days ) , no baked food nothing else .... i think , this is my schedule that is creating probleme , i think i have to make a routine and time table for meals that will fix this probleme .... i m trying to make that and i will do that ASAP .... yeah, i dont know abt chouchou , if that is not something like blueberry (that grows in america but not here ) then that will be available here with different name :wink ..
once AgainThanx alot Jade for such a usefull information , i wil try to eat more vegies than rice :wink ( though rice has considered as high sugar food but its sumthing of my favourities :grin )
Best Regards

Thanx for the prayerz , i really apreciate and like it when someone pray's for me .... m praying for you and all other thal's parents, and ptients too :) ,,,.....

Hi all,
gues wat's up with me now a days .... on my last Tx (18th of aug) i told the admin that i will come again for another Tx just a day bfore Ramazan ( mean's after 4 days of my last Tx = 22 of aug ) bcoze of a lil bit low hb ( between 8-9) and admin said "u wil get blood when-ever u come , so dont worry about that and come for tx when-ever u want " ... but then i canceled my plan to get an extra Tx bfore Ramazan bcoze i won't to go , and since then Tx date is being post poned , its 2nd of Sep and No Tx since 18-aug , i dont know why .. i dont know why m feeling like that , i dont know why m feeling a lil sad , aches in right side of tummy around liver and gallblader , and in chest too ... iron is under controle then why these aches r soo often ?? .... m always dealing with troubles :) .. i m feeling like i m no more interested in my health and reading the stuff online abt thalasssemia and taking care of my self after reading that stuff ... that's the reason why i m coming less online on this site now a days ...
Today ,
when i was taking my medicine i had 1 to swallow and 1 to chew ( chew 1 is calcium 400mg + vit-d and vit-e is to swallow ) i swallowed the calicium 1 and then when i saw vit-e capsule on my table when i looked to take 2nd med i got to know i swalllowed calcium one , since then i m worried ...
it feels like my brain is exhausted doing these things ... feeling like , a man with no goals to achieve ... feeling like ------------------------ dont know wat i m feeling .. confused.... really soo much confused abt myself ...
i think, i never been like this ever bfore .... sigh :D ... did u felt this tooo ??? or i m alone who think's that i never been this much confused ever bfor ???

Hi Umair
Yes, I noticed that recently you have not been your usual happy and outgoing self.
Quote:
aches in right side of tummy around liver and gallblader , and in chest too ...
Did you tell your doctor about these aches? If not you should do so as soon as possible.
Are the aches ongoing or do they come and go and come again?
Do you usually maintain a continuously low hb or do you transfuse regular enough to maintain a good hb?

You should not be too worried. It happens to most of us. At times we may get tired of keeping count of things that have to be done on a daily basis. I also forget lots of things not only medicine and I have found a way not to miss important things,dates etc, I use a planner. For the calcium make a habit of always taking it first ie chew and then take pills which you need to swallow. If you do it in the same sequence everyday(eg chew first and then swallow), you won''t even need to think before doing it. This is how I also operate, I create sequences which become automatic after some time. I hope what I have written is not too confusing. I hope it helps too.

. m always dealing with troubles
It is difficult to keep battling on a daily basis but you are a courageous young person and you have shown that you can fight and win, look at the ferritin. You have won the greatest and most difficult battle, now you just have to keep the momentum, you can do it. Discuss all your troubles with us. You also have good doctors looking after you, make use of their valuable services also, discuss with your doctor as you usually do. A solution will soon crop up for your aches once the reason for them is known. Do not let yourself down and do not let us down.
Hope to see you cheer up soon.
You are very important for all of us here.
May Allah give you good health.
Take care

Umair,
I can understand what you are feeling,and its not only you,we all get exhausted in life at times,suddenly everything becomes so much and we wish we don't have to face it anymore,i can understand,but the thing is bro,life goes on,and we have to pick ourselves and dust it off,because thats the way to live,nobody is all energetic and bubbly all the time,everybody get their fair part of depression in life,so don't worry,it will pass on.
But do try to keep your hb on normal level,as i don't have any scientific evidence to it,but this is my experience that when my hb goes low i become more and more depress,everything starts looking bleak.
Andy,
Are there any supplements that can help with depression? or any deficiency that can lead to it?
Zaini.
-
Umair,
You do have many tasks and goals - taking care of yourself and doing all of the wonderful things you do for people on this site. How many people around you have such close connections with people all over the world? Vitamin D deficiency and omega 3 imbalance can cause feelings of depression, and as Zaini said low hemoglobin can cause you to feel down too.
Even on days that you feel down it is a good idea to have ideas of things you want to do during that day to make each day count. I am sorry to hear about your aches and pains, have you been check for stones? Have you had your vitamin D levels checked? Vitamin D deficiency causes aches and pains too.
Take good care and keep us posted,
Sharmin
-
Every time I hear the word depression, my first thought is get your vitamin D level checked. It is a very likely cause. I think a level of 30 is really required for normal parathyroid function so work on getting the level up.
-
Umair,
Please do listen to Andy and get your Vitamin D levels checked.
Zaini.

Dear Umair.

@ Jade
Hi ya, how ru ... i m fine now and i hope i will never feel like i felt a few days ago ,, the issues have been settled , the thing which was piching my mind i have kicked those things out of my mind and the people who thorughed those in my mind i have planed to kick them too if they ever try to do this again with me ... there was a few issues which was behind all this , but i think it will be better to forget them instead of sharing those baseless issues ,, it was an emotional bad patch :grin i was super fine , i was happy and then a few things happened to me one after one , and i started feeling bad ....it was a mix up of a few bad experience .... i went my thal center for Tx yesterday after 18 days ( usualy i go for Tx after 11-13 days ), I got a fresh blood bag of 4-September .... bfore that i had flu, fever, sore throat, and light cough ... but now i m fine and no flu fever and sore throat probleme ...
Are the aches ongoing or do they come and go and come again??
those aches r less now ,, it was come and go kind of patter of aches ... and some time slow heart beat and light heart beat....
Do you usually maintain a continuously low hb or do you transfuse regular enough to maintain a good hb
on 18 august Tx , my pre-Tx Hg was 9 ... and on this Tx on 4th-September, my pre-Tx Hg was 8.3 ... usually i keep it above 9 (pre-Tx)... my plan is t o keep it above 10 and i will start working for this just after ramazan .. though i have no probleme with like blood shortage , center Admin has offered me to come and have Tx whenever i want .. but i would like to this after Ramazan ..
your sequence of taking medicine is gr8, Jade ... actully , my sequence is to take osteocare ( tablets to swallow ) and first and then chewable tablet in the end... the day i did it worng actully i thought i have to take calcium tablet i was thinkig that i have to take calcium tablets first ( as i always take osteocare the calcium tablets first and then other medicine and then in the end chew tablets ) it was in my mind that i m taking osteocare and i picked up th chewable onezz and that happened .. anyways i m happy bcoze i experienced nothing bad bcoze of wat wrong i did ... :grin .....
It is difficult to keep battling on a daily basis but you are a courageous young person and you have shown that you can fight and win
AAAhhhhh....sigh.... jade , fight on daily basis is more dificult than fighting once but with full efforts .... it is easy for me to keep pump with me 48 hours and a lil more than that , instead of giving 2 hours daily for 24 days ... i hope i explained my point of view ... i would like to run hard my half life and reach the chair and then rest my other half of life instead of walking slowly slowly all my life... sighhhhhhhhh........... sometimez life looks so hard to live ... anywayz , we have to lie , wat else we can do... i m not gonna live the life like a prisoner of life , i would definitely chose the way to battle with life to live the life as i want .. i m not gonna give up , b sure, i m not gonna give up , and the reallity is now at this stage i cant give up, it will b more hard to go back to where i came so, its my complusion now to stay where i m .. so, b sure i always b with you all ... i m not going anywhere and not going to give up ...
hey yaaaa !!, how was my come back speech ?? :grin ...
----------------------------
@Zaini
suddenly everything becomes so much and we wish we don't have to face it anymore
Ya sis, exactly , i do agree to the quote that i mentioned above and to all wat u has said ... it was exactly sumthing like u mentioned in your post ,,, i was feeling exaustedto all the things mediicines and all this kind of stuff ad my routine boring life ...
But do try to keep your hb on normal level,as i don't have any scientific evidence to it,but this is my experience that when my hb goes low i become more and more depress,everything starts looking bleak
yesterday i had a Tx and now i m here , backa again on forum , wat more prove you need Sis, :grin ... you're absolutely right Sis, Hg does matter ... low Hg could lead you to behave like angry young man/women ,,,,
----------------------------
@Sharmin
Vitamin D deficiency and omega 3 imbalance can cause feelings of depression,
Sis, i m on osteocare plus pack instead of simple osteocare se august-22 , you can see details about that on osteocare's site ... about vit-D , i never been tested for that and we can't ignore these facts ...
have you been check for stones? Have you had your vitamin D levels checked?
dont know about about vit-d levels , as i never been tested for that ... but for stone , my doctor prescripted me 2 tablets chewcal calcium with 2 talets Osteocare (osteocare and chewcal both per tablet contain's 400mg calcium------------ osteocare 800mg calcium + 800 chewcal calcium ) , but i had concerns abt that , i was feared of posibility of calcium stones bcoze of this much high dose , thats why i added only 1 chewcal tablet ( mean's that i was taking 800mg calcium on daily basis and 1200mg calcium on alternate days ) .... so, when first time i felt tummy ache i thought it could b gallbladder pain but then i realized that it was bcoze of fried things i was eating those days ...
------------------------------------
@Andy
i m back again to eat your brain and to make mistakes, Buddy ...... i will soon get my Vit-D level checked ....

ZAINI,

Hi Umair
It is good to have you back to your happy old self. Difficulties are part of life, this is what makes us feel alive. You know there is a saying :
An 90 year old man broke a mirror. Another man told him:this would bring you 7 years of bad luck. The old man was elated: thank God i will live for 7 more years.
You see living is the most important thing and not the difficulties. You grow with these difficulties even if at the moment you feel down.This is when friends are needed for support.
Nice to see that you are back and in good health. You should definitely try to maintain your hb and do not forget your chelation and nutrition.
Take care

Umair,
So good to know that you have gotten over the rough patch and that you are ready to face your routine again:) It's great to have you back. Lil A is currently taking Osteocare and 1000IU of vitamin D - he is probably getting 2000IU of vitamin a day. As an adult thalassemia I think that you should be taking at least this much - because you are likely to be deficient. However, it will be a good idea to have your levels checked first. Do you take an omega 3 supplement? This would be very helpful to you as well.
Wishing the best always,
Sharmin

Hi Umair,
I haven't been a good friend, have I? I planned to be a lot on msn, forums and just online, but illness destroyed my plans. This week is gonna be my hardest week for a long, long time.Then I need 2 weeks to catch up everything what's left now, before I will return fully a bit more online again.
Anyway, I am glad you feel better now. And remember: you are a good person! You helped me a lot last year with giving me the right information, technical help and some homework. I am not the perfect student, but I work on that! :smiley
Happy Ramadan!!!
:hugfriend
Dore
p.s. I don't forget: you did win our chelation Olympic games :wink

Hello Umair....
I think this is the first time I am writing to you....
Glad that you are in better spirits....maybe Ramzan did help to cleanse all the negative thoughts out of you!
It is ok to fall...but what is important that we rise....! And we are all lucky to have our friends at this site to help each other at those times....
Hope you are always well....and mainly happy!
Take care,
Madhavi

Madhavi ,
first of all , sorry for late reply... yeah , u r right, the most important thing is to rise again like a sun after every night.. yup, we are lucky to have a platform to share and discuss our probleme and the things those make's us feel bad .. and to learn how to get ride over them .. so we are lucky to b here and to know each other , to know the people who r facing the same challanges of life that we r facing .. it make's it easy to come out to the problemes, when some guide's u and teach's u how he/she came out to the same prob.. yeah, i m feeling much better , happy to my life :) .... hope that everything is fine at ur side as well , wishing u all the best :) ..
