Pranam
With due respect I would like to differ on CGM libre The variation is
reading between pricking and CGM is > 40 which is misleading. Its a failure
even in the USA. My friend at USAdiscontinued it. And as for as I am
concerned a doctor is only still studying or parroting the west like: if
father has so Many % if family had X% etc etc; and adding more every year
out of their testing ability; madhumeham is our siddantha under DR
SUSRUTHAR/. Had we followed it west treatment would have run parallel to
us. Dr Hegde's speech is only that. Study yourself; my friend violates at
times but does treadmill for 40 minutes and has only read below
90earlymorning. Another may swoon even at 150. So what is your constitution
you should know. Brown rice reduces the appetite as the quantum of intake
is reduced/. Doctors recently use JARDINE which is very effective as I
gathered . But insulin or not regularise your system as doctors 9%% only
make money with a list of 15 medications per day which can also affect. The
neuropathy and weight is to be taken care of ; exrcise and flat sleep at
nights 5 or 5 or 7 hrs as the case may be stretched is perfect. KR IRS 11321
