I've been diagnosed with diabetes since I was 25 and have been managing it with insulin. Recently, I came across something called IME9 TABLETS on TV, which is described as an Ayurvedic wonder drug for diabetes and is supposedly approved by the government of India. Is this a legitimate medicine? Has it really been proven to help control blood glucose levels? And most importantly, is it safe to use? What's the deal with this?

IME-9 Tablets are a combination of Ayurvedic herbs and minerals that are marketed for diabetes management. However, as a medical doctor, I would recommend sticking to the insulin therapy prescribed by your healthcare provider for managing your diabetes. Insulin is a proven and effective treatment for diabetes, especially in younger individuals like yourself. While IME-9 Tablets may be approved by the government of India, the efficacy and safety of these tablets in controlling blood glucose levels may not be well-established compared to insulin therapy. It is important to consult with your healthcare provider before making any changes to your treatment plan.
