Hi,

I would like to ask if anyone has taken this Extra Peria supplement before? Does it work?

I am asking this for someone else who is currently using Insulin but in small doses. I think can replace with supplement instead of the hassle of injecting Insulin.

Also does this product regulate the Insulin in your body to a safe level and not just blindly bring down the blood sugar level at the risk of Hypoglycemia (Too low Sugar Level).

Please give your feedback.

I strongly believe those 'paid' medical researchers really are inept, so I am looking for alternatives.

You have no experience so I don't blame you for just mirroring what you have googled. There's a good and bad in everything. Insulin can be a life saver but it is also very dangerous.

The side effects are hypoglycemia and risk Coma and death if not properly monitored.

Let me tell you from experience. A friend of mine fell into hypoglycemia a few years ago and although was saved in time by family members, suffered brain damage and now no longer acts like a normal person.

Now I have my own experience. This certain hospital HU** prescribed 12 Units of Insulin for my mother 3 Times a day before meals and another maintenance dose (Diff Insulin) at 10 pm at night. We were not warned about the side effects and the 'so called' trained nurse even told us to give the same dose as long as the reading was above 4.

Luckily I monitored her Blood Sugar levels constantly 4-5 times a day. Many Days her readings fell into the danger zone 3.2, 3.1, 2.8. 2.4..... Each time I managed to give her sugar in the nick of time to revive her.

For those busy people who can't monitor for the elderly , I fear many might have just trusted and followed what the hospital told them to do and I guess some would have died and the blame would be put on the disease without realising it was the Insulin causing Hypo that killed them.

For your info, I am now only giving my mother a dose of 2 or 3 before meals to keep her levels in normal range. A huge difference from the 12 Units prescribed by the Hospital. If I just give a few units extra units she will go into Hypo and put her life in danger again.

So now I am no longer risking my mother's life on Insulin just for a dose of 2 or 3.

And also for your info Bitter Gourd and other foodstuff might not be Insulin but it can lower and regulate your sugar levels , just how much depends on different people. I am trying to find natural alternatives to bring down her sugar , some may work , some may not , I am sure I will find a better solution.

Doesn't mean Insulin is the only solution, unless you are type 1 Diabetes and your Pancreas no longer functioning.

Thanks for your logical advice.

Either the nurse was just following what was prescribed by the doctor or she was not properly trained. She was in fact the trainer who taught us how to use the Injection Kit.

Btw, the long acting one was instructed by the trainer to give 14 Units at Night 10 pm. But I reduced it according to different levels of blood sugar readings. In order not to risk Hypo situation, I reduced to a level so that in the morning it is in the 7.X mmol range. I hope I am doing it safely.

Natural Supplements don't just work immediately. I can't just stop Insulin and replace with supplements just to test. And it's not cheap either. If I give together with Insulin it might interfere and cause Hypo (If it works, that is).

That's why I am asking if any one tried this supplement to give their feedback.

All I know is it's called Insuman Basal.

I called their advisory helpline they gave before. It was a waste of time. They have washed their hands the momeny they discharged my mother. They asked us to follow up with the govt Klinik which they gave a referral letter to.

That Klinik Kesihatan's young inexperienced doctor didn't even know what advice to give, then asked his Assisting Nurse for her opinion .

I have already done all that for more than a month. Why do you think I am brave enough to lower her dosage by 90% rather than follow the instructions from the inept doctors. She would have died from Insulin overdose if I had followed them.

I am worried about side effects of oral medication since she is elderly.

Will consult a knowledgeable doctor soon.

Thanks for suggesting, but no longer feasible. She too old , can't walk and exercise anymore, and suffering from dementia and other mental health issues.

Just bringing her to see doctor is a big task, let alone do the necessary blood tests.

I created this topic, you can read all my old posts.
