==== My experience with FRUITS, during diabetes ==== [[File:HandDrawnBloodSugarHistory - ManyPointers.jpg|thumb]] ===== Plantain fruit ===== # On Jul 07, 2006 my FBS & PPBS were 118 & 197 respectively. My cardiologist prescribed Amaryl. With his permission I started a [[Diabetes mellitus cured#Modus operandi|new regimen of modified diet]] (which later on others christened as GEM Diet). In three weeks (on Aug 01, 2006) those values moved to 120 & 155. In another month (on Sep 01, 2006) those came down to '''100 & 135'''; both in range or '''NORMAL'''. # Mistaking this as cure re-introduced sugar to morning & evening coffee and restarted taking one plantain fruit after dinner. In eleven days (on Sep 12, 2006) PPBS rose to '''155'''. # As two sweet items (sugar & fruit) were introduced simultaneously, pinpointing the culprit was impossible. Plantain fruit being natural unprocessed sweet & presuming that sugar is the culprit, withdrew sugar & continued the fruit intake. In another three weeks (on Oct 04, 2006) FBS & PPBS registered '''102 & 160''' respectively. # Even though both values are higher than their previous ones, the pictorial representation [[File:HandDrawnBlood Sugar History - Edited.jpg|thumb|alt=]] shows that the gradient (rate of growth) is lesser now. Even though this clearly indicated that both sugar and fruit increases blood sugar, I decided to continue taking plantain & avoid sugar for one more month. This was to provide time for the body to stabilise things and hoping that natural/fruit sweet may be harmless for diabetics as ALL 'EXPERTS' say. Next month's test results PROVED THOSE EXPERTS WRONG!! On Nov 07, 2006 FBS & PPBS were 121 & 166 respectively. # '''Obviously there was no option other than to discontinue fruit intake also'''. In one month (on Dec 07, 2006) FBS & PPBS were 91 & 115 mg/dl. In another month (on Jan 02, 2007) those dropped to 80 & 98 and in one more month (on Feb 03, 2007) even though FBS marginally fluctuated up (to 83) PPBS decreased to 96 mg/dl. # As both FBS & PPBS remained '''VERY LOW''' for two months, again reintroduced sugar in coffee & one plantain fruit at dinner. After two months (on May 29, 2007) while FBS maintained low normal value of 85 PPBS marked an increase to 155. # Again withdrawing sugar & fruit brought back '''PPBS to 100''' on Jul 17, 2007 when '''FBS rose to 105!''' After three months (on Oct 15, 2007) FBS & PPBS were 94 & 104. * On the strength of three months' LOW NORMAL BLOOD SUGAR values, again decided to introduce sugar & fruit intake. ===== Apple & Orange ===== * '''8.''' It was at this point of time that my wife (who is a voracious reader of women's periodicals in malayalam) showed a health article authored by a modern medicine practitioner. It categorically stated that low sweet fruits like APPLE & ORANGE are very safe & appropriate for even Diabetic patients. Additionally she reminded me the age old proverb '''"an apple a day keeps the doctor away"'''. From next day onwards we ate either orange or apple daily; one each if small and half each if large. As I was under the impression that I am cured, tested only FBS for the next six months. All the FBS results were good. On Apr 29, 2008 when I got both FBS & PPBS tested (to consult my cardiologist) I was taken aback totally. Even though FBS was only 100, PPBS was very high - a shocking 165 mg/dl. Next test after ten weeks (Jul 08, 2008) clearly showed that things are worsening; FBS was 107 & ''PPBS was 192 - almost back to square one!'' '''I said to myself ''hell with the expert's write-up on apple/orange. Those who coined the APPLE proverb would not have had Diabetes'''''. Obviously I reverted to NO SWEET. Next test after six weeks (on Aug 22, 2008) showed FBS 100 & PPBS 135. Test on eight weeks (on Oct 17, 2008) marked a marginal increase in FBS to 109, PPBS dropped to 125 (both to within limits). Next test on Dec 20, 2008 (after 9 weeks) also pegged decrease; FBS to 95 & PPBS to 120. * '''9.''' Unfortunately a fourth time too I was misled by the low BS values & obviously restarted sugar - sweet intake and ended up in PPBS shooting up, to 161mg%. * '''10'''. It was at this time that I got HbA1C tested for the first time. The value was 6.3%. Then on things made a quantum change. Progress was in leaps & bounds. Rest is history. '''Qualification test of PANCREAS''' On July 8, 2009 associated with his visit to 10 houses between 6pm & 1030pm he consumed nearly a dozen sweet items. Next noon he took a wedding feast lunch. It was sumptuous with four (4) very sweet paayasams (porridge) and three (3) other sweet items in addition to more than a dozen other servings. (That day's breakfast was normal since long wheat mash had already been discontinued long ago, presuming cure.) A blood test after two hours of lunch showed a ''PPBS level of 100mg%''!!
