Is it true that all persons with insulin depedent diabetes receive daily insulin injections? It's true that insulin dependent type 1 diabetics must have insulin either injected daily, with different types of insulin, or they can use an insulin pump that continuously gives them a set amount of insulin called a basal rate and then more insulin to cover the carbohydrates eaten, called boluses. There is inhaled insulin, but it's a mealtime insulin and they would still need longer acting type insulins, and they would have to be injected daily...at least once, sometimes twice a day. Inhaled insulin was created more for type 2 diabetics who are noncompliant taking injections. Most all type 1's I know think it's ridiculous. Not to mention VERY expensive and a monster to carry around! If they are a type 1, yes. Type 2 diabetics can work their way off insulin with proper diet, exercise, and weight loss. Here's more: For type I and type II diabetics (and those who are overweight and could potentially become diabetic). Copy and bookmark the webpages I鈥榲e listed below鈥?they are invaluable for those with diabetes and/or weight problems... I've found a wonderful book that will help you control your diabetes and minimize or even eliminate the complications. Some folks who became diabetic due to poor diet and obesity are effectively cured by following the advice in this book. I'm a type II (inherited), but it helps all types, especially those who became diabetic due to poor eating habits. It's by an author who has really done his homework, Patrick Quillin, Phd. It's called, "The Diabetes Improvement Program". I have tried his suggestions and found them to be very helpful. I have no complications whatsoever and my blood sugar levels are quite stable. Yes, I still have to take Metformin (Glucophage) daily, but it's the minimum dosage (500mg) and I only have to take it twice a day. I have been off Metformin for as much as a week, but this was with vigorous exercise. Many, what I call, non-hereditary type IIs (those that don't have a close relative who had it) have gotten off medication completely, just with diet, exercise, and supplements. So, in some instances, it most certainly can be 'effectively' cured. Read more about it here: http://www.diabetesimprovement.com/... The book explains what's going on in our system and what to do about it. It's really easy and inexpensive. It's basically diet, supplements, and exercise. For example, did you know that cinnamon helps blood sugar absorption? It also controls cholesterol and triglycerides. This is according to the USDA: http://www.ars.usda.gov/is/np/fnrb/fnrb0...

I don't know much about Diabetes but from what I do know, there are some insulin dependent patients using alternative therapies that never have to take shots. They control it in other ways. "Insulin dependent" means that insulin is not optional. They have developed a way to inject insulin by the nose, but it's not generally available yet. "A person with IDDM must have insulin injections to survive. Without insulin, symptoms worsen until the patient loses consciousness and slips into a coma. With daily insulin shots and a careful diet, however, most people with IDDM can lead active lives with the same ambitions and challenges as those without diabetes." http://www.kidsource.com/kidsource/conte... it is true that people with diabetes receive insulin in other to sustain their lives and to make them live longer even with the diabetes in their body, but it is not everyday they are only given appointment days to take the insulin. and it costs them a lot. I wear a pump, so I don't actually take shots, but it's still insulin being injected into me. And it is to everyday...you give them to yourself, you don't go to the doctor. |
