Diabetes and TTC

Hi 'happyperson',

People practising alternative medicine, like Ayrvedic medicine, Homeopathic medicine, Unani medicine etc, keep selling the idea that allopathy is harmful, it will cause miscarriage , bone damage etc. To a great extent these ideas have influenced common people like you.

Be it allopathy or ayurvedic medicine, nothing is free from harm. Every single medication has to be researched rigorously, before it is allowed to be sold to people. Right now, the entire world relies on one agency.......that is FDA of USA. Every drug of allopathy goes through four phases of trials lasting for years. The first phase is done in animal models.......second in volunteers...........third in select patients......so on and so forth. without going into these details, I just want to emphasise on one fact that every allopathic medication goes through this rigorous quality appraisal, before it reaches market.

The medications you are taking Amaryl(glimeperide) and Metformin are also well tested and free from complications.

The process of diabetes itself is having a complication of high incidence of miscarriage, when compared to pregnancy in normal woman. This is the bitter reality. To minimise this complication the process of diabetes should be kept under strict control.

Your Fasting Blood Glucose should be less than 110 mg/ dl.

Post Prandial Blood glucose less than 140 mg / dl.

Your HbA1C should be less than 7 mg /dl (checked once in three months - reflects the status of diabetic control over the last three months).

If the above three parameters are well within control, that means, the chances of miscarriage will be reduced to least.

Please stay away from myths like allopathy is harmful and ayurvedic medicine is harmless........for your own good. Analyse fact through various sources, before believing anything blindly.

Today , information is accessible to every one , easily.

 

Hi Happyperson,

Am also a diabetic and trying to conceive. Was going through posts in IL and happened to find yours. How are you doing? What treatment are you going through now?

Sreeya

 

I am also prone to dibetics i guess.
my sugar is under controlled nos when i test it but when i do glucose test i get high nos.
right now i am controlling it with exercise and diet. u need to take small meals instead big one.

 

I would not term Allopathy as a devil and Alternate meds as Angels, with Allopathy u hv the FDA regulations which are quite stringent so u can be fairly sure of the risks u hv, in case of Alternate meds like Kerala Ayurvedic, Ayurvedic meds which are from north India, Sidda etc, the texts are genuine but over the years the process of preparation has undergone lots of changes and the effect and side effect have not been tested as such while these meds may be good but these can also cause liver n kidney damages like wht the allpathy drugs claim as warning on the medical strips or the warning slips inside

 

hi happy person. Am diabetic and blessed with gal baby. Dont worry. You ll hold ur lo soon.

 

You are right Swatir23.... read in an article that its very important not to have too random glucose increase... it should be rather slow and gradual...
