My dad has had type 2 diabetes for 15 years since he was 45 and also had bypass surgery. He's been on insulin all this time. I came across BGR34 tablets, which claim to be approved by the Indian government and developed by CSIR and NBRI labs. Is this medicine legit? Has it been proven to control blood sugar levels effectively? And is it safe for someone like my dad who's already on insulin?

BGR34 is an Ayurvedic formulation with limited scientific validation—safe if taken with insulin but not a replacement.

View allI've been dealing with diabetes and lately, I've been having some trouble with my breathing and my sugar levels are pretty high too. Is there any way to manage or cure these issues? I'm really worried and just looking for some advice.
A diabetic patient experiencing breathing difficulties and high blood sugar levels may be experiencing a condition known as diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). This is a serious complication of diabetes that requires immediate medical attention. To address the breathing problems, the patient may need oxygen therapy to ensure proper oxygen levels in the blood. In terms of managing high blood sugar levels, the patient may require insulin therapy to help lower blood sugar levels effectively. It is important to monitor blood sugar levels closely and adjust insulin doses as needed. Additionally, ensuring proper hydration is crucial in managing DKA. It is essential for the patient to seek medical help promptly to receive appropriate treatment and prevent further complications.

I'm really worried about my mom's diabetes treatment. She used to be on Ryzodeg 20 units and Human Actrapid 8 units, but because Ryzodeg is so expensive, our doctor suggested we switch to Lantus with the same dosage. I'm not sure if this substitute and dosage are the right decision for her condition. Could you please advise on whether this is the right approach?

Why is blood glucose elevated after exercise in a diabetic?
Strenous exercises such as weightlifting, sprints and competitive sports cause you to produce stress hormones (such as adrenaline). Adrenaline raises blood glucose levels by stimulating your liver to release glucose which is needed for the muscles during work outs.
