- Homoeopathic approach for Diabetes mellitus is strictly individualizing every single case, analyzing the physical as well as mental constitutional symptoms and selecting single homoeopathic remedy.
- During constitutional homoeopathic treatment diabetes mellitus we usually advice investigations periodically on an average 3 months and I some cases early also.Following are the common investigations:
- Plasma glucose concentration (Fasting and Post Prandial).
- Glycosylated hemoglobin, to measure long term glyceamic control.
- Plasma lipid levels to rule out increase level of triglycerides and low density lipoproteins.
- Routine urine for albumin to rule out early evidence of diabetic nephropathy.
- Serum creatine levels.
- Regular eyes check up to detect early diabetic retinopathy.
- Weekly measurement of blood pressure to rule out hypertension which is so frequently associated with diabetes mellitus.
The following homoeopathic medicine has been extremely useful.
a) CODEINUM when there is excessive skin irritation (Itching due to diabetes mellitus).
b) PHOSPHORIC ACID when diabetes mellitus starts after some nervous exhaustion, working too hard or disappointment in relationship.
c) Remedies like GUN POWDER, STAPHYLOCOCCINUM AND MELALEUCEA ALTERNIFOLIA are extremely useful for diabetic carbuncle and gangrene.
d) Remedies like UREA PURA, AMPELOPSIS QUINQUEFOLIA are extremely useful for diabetic nephropathy.
- The treatment for diabetes mellitus in homoeopathy is extremely effective but people do not come to us in early state and hence once the pathology is advanced we cannot cure but only palliate the condition.
- On an average in my Homoeopathic Health Centre I receive approximately 20-30 new patients every month with high creatine level and uncontrolled diabetes mellitus. There patients have been advised dialysis but with my experience of last 20 years I am able to prevent dialysis in majority of these people with the help of constitutional treatment and proper diet control. I have been successful to arrest the further progress of diabetic nephropathy.
Advice for diabetic diet:
a) Fruit and leaves of drumsticks (saijan ki phalli) and patola are very useful for the diabetic patient.
b) Fenugreek (methi) seeds, when given in varying doses of 25 grams to 100 grams daily, diminishes reactive hyperglycemia in diabetic patient. Soak 10-12 fenugreek (methi) seeds in one-fourth cup of water overnight and have both- the seeds and the water, next day in the morning with a glass of water. This is beneficial for people with diabetes. You can also powder the methi seeds and take one teaspoonful of this powder with low fat milk daily for at least two months. This will keep the blood sugar level under control.
c) The diabetics should take two raw string beans (runner beans or French beans) daily.
d) Have bhindi (okra) soup daily, this will keep the diabetic patient healthy.
