We Have Asked A Doctor But They Either Tell Us To Eat Wheat Or Eat Eba In Small Quantity, Anytime He Tries The Eba His Blood Sugar Skyrockets.

So I Thought Maybe Any Experience Person Here Might Help Out.

when was he diagnosed and does he check his sugar everyday

Younghacka:
My Dad Is Diabetic And He Has Been Having Issues With A Choice Of Swallow.


Eba(Garri) And Loi-Loi(Fufu) Are Out Of The Equation Because Of Their High Starch Content.

He Was Using Plantain Flour But He Complained Of Constipation And He Stopped Using It. . . He Was Also Using Wheat Flour But He Stopped Due To Some Health Complications (I Think Something Concerning Blood Group O+).

Any Advice Or Experience Will Be Appreciated.


P.S: For Some Months Now He Has Not Eaten Swallow, Just Diabetic Rice And Other Food Suitable For Diabetics, But We Are Nigerians And Man Must Swallow.

get plantain flour

When there is absolute cure for DIABETES why limiting urself to some certainr food only

My dad has being diabetic for like 35 years now, even before I was born. We boil unripe plantain and pound it into swallow. We use the local mortar and pestle.


He's doing well and takes his usual insulin injection although lately he has being taking one new medication called DOUBLE STEM CELL. Ever since he started taking it, there has been a lot improvement in his health

We Used To Do That Before, We Might Go Back To It.
About The STEM Cells, Please How Did He Come To Start Using It Cos Right Now My Dad Is In The Hospital And His Blood Glucose Level Is 20+, The Insulin Is Not Helping Matters @ All. How Do You Apply The STEM. Thanks.

dominique:
I wanted to suggest unripe plantain flour but you've already scratched it out. You can try couscous, just that it is not very popular here in the south but you can find it on shelves of malls and large stores. It's very cheap and easily available in the north.

Plantain flour is the best for such person... I did a research on it few yrs back...

Add grinded roasted soyabeans to the plantain flour. It's like you make it too strong and maybe he is not drinking at least 3 l of water daily and also not eating enough vegetables hence the constipation.

You can at times give him cabbage swallow, vegetable swallow, Acha swallow, quacker oat swallow, coconut flour swallow for variety sake.

How Accessible Is This, I'm Based In The South Southern Part Of Nigeria Not In Lagos.

OK. She's based in Warri, Delta State and not in Lagos as you may think.

Plus, they supply nationwide so it's not a problem where ever you are.

Just get oat ( the usual oat people take for break fast ). Blend it and place it on fire add water and prepare the way you prepare your plantain flour. Simple.

Acha aka hungry rice

knowledgeable

Amala

Try oat flour and guinea corn... that's what my mum usually swallow

ppeessuu:

He can do a combination of flours. Rice flour(our local varieties) combined with plantain flour, corn flour combined with plantain flour/wheat/oats.
In any case he should be doing 4times more soup than the swallow. Yoruba's aren't in the habit of taking plenty soup with their swallow. Apologies to my Yoruba brothers. No harm intended. There is Eldris oats. Head to mile 12 market if you're in Lagos. Buy pure wheat. You can blend it there in the market. You can also blend with others too. Yam, plantain, corn, millet etc.
Another thing is to purchase lime or lemon. Dice it up and put in drinking water. He should drink that while eating. He should also form the habit of taking tea after meals. Helps with digestion too. I suspect your dad might be having ulcer or heartburns. He needs to see a specialist doctor fast. If he likes beans then parboil the beans just like you do rice. That greatly reduces the constipation/heartburn. His swallow should be about the size of a childs clenched fist.

Thanks.

Dry unripened plaintain, ground to powder and make Amala with it.... Healthy and no sugar.

ppeessuu:

Yam flour is contains a lot of sugar

Get the old fashioned quaker oats, blend it and make it into swallow.

Benefits are too numerous to mention here

Oats swallow is good. Try it.

Fonio(acha)

Unripe plantain flour(the constipation may be because it's not well cooked. After moulding it into a solid paste, its supposed to be left to cook on low heat for about 15 minutes. Also the mixture shouldn't be too solid because it solidifies upon cooling)

Eggplant swallow

Oat swallow...


The patient can make it a habit to drink or chew on bitterleaf once a week

Try oat flour
Particularly Rayna oats flour.
You can do me for more info

Younghacka:

What's This Acha. . . I've Never Heard Of It Here.

I don't know how to describe the plant, but you can check google for "hungry rice". If you know anyone living in Jos or Bauchi you can ask them to get it for you.

Guy ask a nutritionist. They'll give you the best advice. Asking a doctor ke?
Better still ask a pharmacist

Craziestgirl:
Nothing beats asking a Medical Doctor.
The worst place to seek medical advice is the internet.

It is crazy how you sensibly answered the question despite being so crazy to the extent of being the craziest girl in the world.


Wait... before you attack me, I only said what I observed.. and trust me, I was really sincere
