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.

Better you take lots of bitter gourd vege, than bitter gourd extract.

Other supplement you may consider:
- R-lipoic acid
- Ceylon cinnamon (not your normal cinnamon)
- Turmeric
- Grape seed extract to prevent complication

Combine the above with
(i) ketogenic diet or high fibre diet with complex carb
(ii) high intensity exercise

These should improve your blood sugar reading.

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.

Actually if still early stage can reverse though good diet and exercise.

As far as I know any medication in any form is not recommended. Well, doctor will argue either you want to take this small risk instead of the risk you are facing now.

What actual cause of your insulin deficiency or or do you suffer from insulin immunity? This might help /k doctors  smile.gif

Metformin does not damage your kidney. Uncontrolled diabetes does.

It may not damage your kidney but perhaps other parts of your body. Like many medication, prolonged use damages were not discovered sometimes after 20 years. Just need to closely monitored by doctor for any medication because different person has different side effect. That is why there is precaution for Metformin.  smile.gif

Well with Metformin, the only SE is depletion of vit B12 which can easily be replaced with vit B12
