I m suffering from diabetics since 1 year onwards it is type 1 daily taking insulin 2 times with 20-20. Instead of taking insulin shell I go with Homepathy? Waiting for you reply thanks in advance

Dr. Saurav Arora

Homeopathy

Dear sir at this stage discontinuing the Insulin is not advisable all of a sudden. However, these medicines may be tapered off gradually. You may start taking Syzgium 1x, 1 tab twice daily for a month and keep track of your sugar levels regularly. But in case there is no change in 1-2 months, you might need to visit a homeopath. In homeopathy symptoms, history and examination is very important. In majority of cases, after a long case taking and case workout, we try to select a constitutional remedy which is used to treat the disease from its root cause. Therefore, you need to visit a homeopath so that he can examine you and guide accordingly. For Do?s and Don?ts while taking homeopathic medicines visit www.arorasclinic.com/homeopathy
