A couple of weeks ago, a thread hit the front page about a NL’s mom who’s diabetic and this has now affected her legs, and they are about cutting off the said leg.

What that NL doesn’t know is that, he’s at 50% chance of developing diabetes himself.

You are at 50% chance of developing diabetes if a parent is diabetic and the other 50% depends on your lifestyle. No, diabetes doesn’t affect only the elderly, you can develop diabetes at any age.

If you have a diabetic parent like that poster, while you can’t do anything about the hereditary 50%, you can do something about your lifestyle.

Here are some life adjustment I have made, that can help you as well.

1. Don’t drink �
2. Don’t smoke
3. Cut down or eliminate soft drinks
4. Reduce the carbs. If you are like me that love swallow, eat oatmeal swallow instead of Eba.
5. Exercise, it doesn’t have to be vigorous. I skip rope, 200-300 every morning.
6. Monitor your blood sugar level, it’s just N1k


Stay healthy.

that means I'm finished

Thanks for this reminder

If you knew the answer, you would drop it easily.
You guys should stop propagating rubish no one has carried out any scientific study on.

bitter leaf does reduce sugar in the body.
I once had a level of over 180 and I used bitter leaf and it reduced to 87.
Personally I chew the bitter leaf not drink the extract

semanose:
That's how I spent all of 2021 fighting diabetes.

No one is talking of high cholesterol levels.
That's what took me to clinic before I discovered diabetes.

From the tests, I had it for long I didn't know.

After meds and lifestyle modifications it went below 90.

From my experience, if you can control what you eat, you can fight it.

What helped me
✓ Eat oats every morning as breakfast
✓ Boil and drink mango leaves as tea. This works super fast and it tastes nice.
✓ Stick to wheat based foods and oats
✓ Change your milk. If you have diabetes use Marvel
✓ Go strict with doctor appointments
✓ You cant eat all fruits, Do more of cucumbers
✓ Forget White rice, do more of brown rice
✓ For swallow, grind your wheat at the market, unripe plantain flour, oatmeal
✓ For pap, use millet or the one people call baba

I wish I can go on and on.

Eat and exercise right!

do you take your oats without sugar?

This is not what we want from you.
What is the chemical substance in that bitter leaf that's responsible for the reduction in blood sugar?
Findings are better presented in a scientific way, and shouldn't just end at "bitter leaf reduces blood sugar".
That's archaic and nonsensical as long as professionals like us are concerned.

In the absence of any scientific evidence, we can as well conclude that your blood sugar reduced because you modified your diet, by avoiding sugar-rich foods, and not necessarily because of the bitter leaf.

I can't have diabetes, my club checks my sugar level every month end.

I guess it's the checks that prevent diabetes!

Don't mind that one forming what I don't know.
It's all over the internet that Bitter leaf helps to reduce blood sugar, plus personal experiences on here, yet he's looking for scientific backing.

Na you get time to dey reply am.
He should keep waiting for scientific backing till his pubic hair turns grey.

I lost my Dad in 2017 from complications from diabetics. They live in PH while I live in Lagos. So I was not conversant with diabetics and it’s numerous complications. Last year, 2021, my mom developed a sore on her left toe. I already knew that someone with diabetics could develop sore on the leg. I didn’t understand that it was the last stage of diabetics. So I went down to see her. The pain was excruciating, I couldn’t sleep at nights because of her shouts. So a couple of days later, I decided to bring her to Lagos so she could be attended to in Igbobi but she could not endure the journey so we went to an orthopedic hospital in Ph where she was amputated 3 times. The doctor failed to bring his professionalism to bare. A few weeks later, she died in the hospital. But out of curiosity, the doctor insisted that all the children should be tested for diabetics, out of the 7 of us, I was the only one diagnosed with diabetics. My sugar level was 288 about 16.5! I was educated on how to manage it and it was then I learnt how complicated Diabetics is. I used to take beer and other alcohol, I used to eat plenty eba even after the diagnosis. Later on, I began to eat small swallow but each time I test my sugar level it was always as high as 9 or 11. Sometimes 13.0. So I was running from pillar to post trying to figure out why it was not going down. Though some days it would go down to 7.9 or there about. I was so worried as I had stopped eating a lot of things but not swallow. However, out of a stroke of luck, I found out that each time I ate eba, it would go exceedingly high the next day no matter how small. So I decided to be eating Amala, semo and co but not eba, it would still not go down beyond 8. It was just recently that I discovered that I am not supposed to eat swallow at all not withstanding the type but I could eat rice and quacker oats. So I concentrated on these two meals with vegetables and garden eggs. With groundnuts and other simple stuffs but certainly, not swallow, alcohol, raw sugar, bread, fry fry foods, soft drinks and other really unnecessary foods and junks. I also exercise a lot though not vigorously. Since I began to maintain this tempo, my sugar level has not gone beyond 6.4. Lest I forget, I stopped taking Glucophage and dionil about 2 months ago. In fact, someone told me about Abere seed and I take it occasionally. It has also helped me.
Bottom line is that Diabetics is far more dangerous than what we all think about the disease. Once you have, it is no longer “business as usual “. It requires more attention than driving on the highway!

Thanks for sharing.

uzoma213:
do you take your oats without sugar?

At first, I took oats without sugar for close to 8 months. I use three crowns milk powder refill or Marvel. It tastes nice.

But these days my sugar level is a bit controlled, I throw in a pinch just to see what happens.

By the way, don't buy Quaker oats or any instant oats. They're not so healthy.

Buy steel cut or rolled oats.

HenryDion:
What chronic disorder are you talking about?

Complications may involve heart diseases, kidney failure, blindness, nerve damage, foot decay (which may require amputation) or unhealing wound.

impeccablephili:
Please eat both the leaves..... eating the leaves gives an added fortification

What is the quantity of leaves per dose?

charlsecy:


What is the quantity of leaves per dose?

Sorry for replying late I've been busy lately, the leaves are vegetables and not drugs so i don't think they have overdosage but I used to take like 4 leaves of bitter leaf and a little bit more of scent leaf. And let me you the two leaves won't produce insulin in case of type 1 diabetes but will remove excess sugar and fat from the body in case of type 2 diabetes and high blood sugar level

SilentVboy:
I do add some quantity of water, say half the pot level and boil it with the leaves for some mins. Then leave it for 12hours. Then take it one cup, morning and evening.

Do you keep it refrigerated?

djon78:
Last time I checked it was 73. The healthcare personnel said my sugar level was very good

Still maintain a healthy lifestyle and do regular check up.

frankman365:
107 it was

You can do something to reduce it further.

I used to take like 4 leaves of bitter leaf and a little bit more of scent leaf....

As around 11 February, my blood sugar was 97 mg/dL [or 5.4 mmol/L]. It was within the normal range. Blood sugar normal range is 70 to 99 mg/dL [or 3.9 to 5.5 mmol/L]. Nevertheless, values between 50 and 70 mg/dL may be seen in healthy people.

I decided to try out the herbs route to see its effects on my blood sugar levels.

On each administration, I had about 4 leaves of bitter leaf and 8 - 10 leaves of scent leaf blended in about 15cl of water. I drank the mixture twice a day (morning and evening) for 7 days. My blood sugar fell from 97 to 87 mg/dL.

I continued for another 7 days, this time, with about 3 - 4 leaves of utazi (Gongronema latifolium, arokeke) and about 7 leaves of uziza (Piper guineense, iyere, uda). It fell further to 74 mg/dL [or 4.1 mmol/L].

I think the fall is usually achieved after, or towards, 9 administrations (that is, from the 5th day), and then stabilised. All of my tests were taken upon waking up in the morning.

I also incorporated exercise and low-to-moderate eating.

I have never checked it.

You don turn to a herbalist o. On a more serious note nature has given us everything we need to stay healthy but we are the ones not making use of them.
