Myth & Truth
Assalamu Alaikkum, Dear Doctor, What is your advise to diabetic patients with respect to food and other habits? How do we maintain sugar level without doing the tests? I have asked my wife, who is diabetic, to stop taking tablets, but she is afraid to do so since she had fainted last year after which it took her long time to recover; still she is facing slight sight problem. Please guide us. Wassalam. -- by mohamed rafi
You have to improve your digestion to improve the quality of glucose, the end product of digestion. If the digestion is poor, the end glucose is of poor quality which will be identified by the kidneys and thrown out in the urine; for the bad glucose will not be accepted by the body; and the pancreas whose insulin is so important for utilization of glucose will be shut down. If you want to make the pancreas secrete insulin and regain its normal function, then it is important you shall improve digestion. I do not want to go to the depth of the subject because diabetes is not at all a disease. Do not believe allopathic doctors for they do not have the common sense to help the ailing patients. Here is what you do. When you have thirst take only tender coconut water of sweetish nature - never take the coconut water that does not have the taste, or that has sour or saltish taste. And when you have appetite, eat plantain of sweetish nature. Your digestion will improve now and sugar level will become normal. Diabetes is not a disease but a doctor induced malfunction of our system. Some time later we shall discuss this in the news bulletin.
