DIBETES DISCUSSION

DR. SHRINIWAS KASHALIKAR

1. Why intracellular glucose concentration is not determined instead of plasma glucose concentration?

2. If it is measured in experiments how does it correlate with the plasma glucose levels or what are the corresponding values?

3. Is not there intracellular starvation of glucose, if blood glucose is increased because of defective utilization?

4. If there reduction in the carbohydrate and fat intake, would not it mean that

there is proportionate increase in proteins? Would not it be detrimental to kidney?

5. What is the assurance that plasma glucose is not affected by variable absorption and variable excretion in faeces?

6. Would not the variable energy output affect the blood glucose (Without deterioration of glucose metabolism)?

7. If the glucose intake is reduced, would not it deprive the normal stimulation

of insulin secretion? Would it not be alright therefore to include normal (not excessive) sweet items in diet?

8. Why is the scientific stress management (pivotal in prevention and management of hundreds of disease conditions including diabetes ) not taught in all the education courses and on electronic media?

9. How many studies have correlated the stress and diabetes mellitus quantitatively?

10. How many studies have correlated diabetic complications with the blood glucose levels?

11. Why don't the practitioners of allopathy study and use Ayurvedic remedies and pranayama in diabetes?
