What foods can diabetics eat freely?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Regular and consistent diet is most important, with no feasts and fasts. Split your diet into 3-4 meals. Avoid sugar and sugar containing foods, and fried foods. Avoid fats (butter, oil, malai) and fat rich foods (puri, paratha, chat, namkeen etc.) Choose healthy carbohydrates, such as fruit, vegetables, whole grains, beans, and low-fat milk, as part of your diabetes meal plan.

View allMy father has had type 2 diabetes for 20 years and also had bypass surgery 8 years ago. He's currently on insulin but we found two ayurvedic tablets IME9 and BGR34 from Indian labs. Which one would be safer and more effective for his condition?
As a doctor, I would advise caution with IME9 and BGR34, as they are not well-studied in large clinical trials. Since your father has long-standing diabetes and a cardiac history, it's best to continue his current treatment and consult his physician before adding any supplements, as they may interact with existing medications.

I'm looking to understand why there's a sudden increase in Vitamin B12 levels. The recent blood test showed it at 1346 pgml, whereas the normal range is 180-914 pgml. Could it be because of the Neurobian Forte injection she got when admitted to the hospital for a high fever a couple of weeks earlier? Could that injection have caused the spike? Any insights would be appreciated!
Elevated Vitamin B12 levels can be caused by various factors. Considering the recent hospital admission and Neurobion Forte injection, it's possible that the injection contributed to the high Vitamin B12 levels. _Neurobion Forte Injection_ 1. _Contains Vitamin B12_: Neurobion Forte injections typically contain a combination of vitamins, including Vitamin B12. 2. _High dose_: The injection might have contained a high dose of Vitamin B12, leading to elevated levels. _Other Possible Causes_ 1. _Recent supplementation_: Other Vitamin B12 supplements or multivitamins taken recently could contribute to high levels. 2. _Liver or kidney issues_: Certain liver or kidney conditions can cause elevated Vitamin B12 levels. 3. _Other medical conditions_: Some medical conditions, such as leukemia or lymphoma, can also cause high Vitamin B12 levels. _Next Steps_ 1. _Consult the doctor_: Discuss the elevated Vitamin B12 levels with the doctor who administered the Neurobion Forte injection. 2. _Repeat testing_: Schedule a follow-up blood test to monitor Vitamin B12 levels. 3. _Review medication and supplements_: Ensure that no other Vitamin B12 supplements or medications are being taken.
