Whether you are diabetic or not, maintaining normal blood glucose levels is something which you must pay attention to ensure healthy life. Many people don’t think about their health condition with reference to blood sugar in their body. It’s rather insensible to justify themselves that variation in body’s blood sugar is not a matter to concern much. It’s ok! But what about the normal levels of blood glucose to maintain? Is,t not a very serious matter if you are not able to keep a check on your blood sugar levels? Sure it’s because Glucose is your prime energy source that decides your diabetic condition.

Glucose is produced in your body from what you eat with much of carbohydrates. However, the glucose levels are controlled by insulin so that you have normal levels. The normal levels should lie between 70 – 170 dl/ml. It is the work of your pancreas to produce insulin needed to your body.

If the release of insulin falls short of the required level the problem starts to tell upon your normal blood glucose levels. The glucose content in the blood stream varies beyond normalcy.

Normal levels of blood glucose

The glucose level in the morning before eating food may sometimes be under 70. After eating it may shoot up fast and glide towards 170. If it is somewhat more above it is not a matter to be worried. Though the glucose levels do not fall in the range 70 – 170, it happens so in many cases of diabetics. So, there is nothing for serious concern. However it will be safe for you if the levels fall in the range 80 – 150

Abnormal levels of blood glucose

If the glucose level stays below 70dl/ml when measured after eating food it is the indication of hypoglycemic condition with low sugar.

If it is in an elevated level above 170dl/ml in empty stomach in the morning it is a condition of hyperglycemia. These two conditions are to be seriously viewed. These are diagnosed as abnormal levels of blood glucose in the bloodstream.

How to treat diabetes?

People that are having consistently low or high blood glucose levels are diagnosed as diabetics. They should learn efficiently to manage diabetes with them. Diabetes can be prevented or managed without any risky consequences if early treatment is started with warning symptoms of diabetes. There are tablets and insulin injections to take depending on the type of diabetes.

Words of Dattatreya Siva Baba:

Dattatreya Siva Baba’s words about the Daily Karma Removal Program (DKRP):

I am compassionate towards the human predicament.

The oxygen and glucose supply throughout the body, helps to maintain our human body and the organic brain. This supply being the prime reason, our bodies can never restrict itself from time consciousness, and the constant movement. Our human body (also called “the meat”), has to first acquire luminosity, to attain divinity. Until then, we have to survive with the available medication, and with the blessings of deities and siddhas.

Life is the manifestation of your old karmas of past lives. Your success and failure is not the reflection of your deeds in the present life; but of the past life.

Everyone, every day, is facing only his/her karma. The so called illusory future is the reflection of your past.

In order to enjoy a bright present and future life, one must make it a point to resolve their past life’s karmas. As a powerful solution to the problem, our ancient siddhas recommended worshipping deities who are responsible for various aspects of our life, and also created methodologies to appease those deities.

Special worshipping methods are the way to unique and meaningful worships. Temples were not built at random places.

Each place has its own positive or negative energy (e.g., both good and bad people live in the same place). Time is ruled by the same condition too. Deities or planets can be worshipped at specific times only; and not as per our convenience.

I have designed this powerful program, the “Daily Karma Removal Program”, to resolve the everyday karma for my students.

If one is prepared, and alert for their everyday life, the old karma will not trouble them.

But unfortunately, our attention span is limited, and we can’t remain conscious all the time. As a solution to this, we can have a personal spiritual custodian, similar to a personal trainer. DKRP will act like a machine to automatically remove bad energy (bad karma) on a daily, weekly, and monthly basis.

With Blessings,
Dattatreya Siva Baba.

Overview:

The Daily Karma Removal Program (DKRP) is a comprehensive, intensive, and personal approach, to eliminate every kind of karma that affects and limits human beings.

Each member’s chart will be analyzed in the beginning of the program, and then a specific personalized karma removal plan will be tailored to the needs of him/her, in order to concentrate on the areas where focus is necessary. Why are you living the life you have got? How do you attain a better life? The solution is “Remove karma”.

The program helps the participants, to speak to all the planets and deities on a daily basis.
The rituals are done at Dattatreya Siva Baba’s ashram/temple in India, and at many powerful temples throughout Tamil Nadu, with the assistance of a 30 staff members; “a virtual spiritual army”. All rituals will be done for each individual’s name and birth star, to attain the best results.

Dattatreya Siva Baba reveals new ways to improve the human condition, by offering specialized spiritual solutions, and powerful new rituals performed at the right time and in the right place, to ease our daily problems.

This new program is a combination of the most powerful and effective means to remove karma, and change one’s destiny. Dattatreya Siva Baba offers the new program as a constant, relentless assault on human karma, due to his intense love for human beings. Gracefulness, divine interventions are the only ways to change your karma.

The goal of our program: To protect you every millisecond, with the grace of Kala Bhairava’s Time Shaktis that operate through the planets.

If there is glucose in your blood in high amount, the chance will be higher due to the enhancement of the onset of diabetes. Blood sugar levels must be kept in hand so that the probability for the occurrence of the diabetes must be low. Now, folk can’t understand this straightforward mathematical calculation. The higher amount of glucose in blood the more severe will be the condition of diabetic patients. Insulin should be produced in sufficient amount so that glucose will be regulated easily. Both types 1 and 2 of diabetes are deleterious to the healthcare.

The excellent treatment is wanted to remove the indications of the diabetes. If you’re severely attacked by this physical disorder, you want to undergo proper treatment procedures which may help you to manage the quantity of glucose in the body. According to doctor insulin treatment in right mix with different types of exercise can scale back the sick effect of both types of diabetes. You ought to know that ADA dietary programme has been formed by the specialists and analysts of American Diabetes Association to aid patients to conquer diabetes. ADA diet is packed with nutrients and vitamins which are required to build up body. However, it is also true that this balanced diet programme is efficient and effective to keep blood sugar levels and other elements in the body.

Diabetes is very damaging to homo sapiens as there are lots of patients who have either faced complicated physical malformations or they have slipped into the state of unconsciousness. This type of coma will snowball into premature death. For this actual reason, you need to visit doctor’s chamber to get his critical feedbacks and consultation in that case. If you suffer from any type of diabetes mellitus, you should not be worried. Mental stress and emotional disturbance will speed up the dissemination of this illness. You should not consume non-prescription medications to get rid of diabetes.

There are several fake dealers who offer poor quality medications at the reduced cost rates. It will save your few dimes but your well-being will be at risk. That’s the reason why, without getting feedbacks from doctors, you must never take medicines. Insulin must be produced so that glucose won’t get opportunity to exceed the limit in blood. Proper insulin treatment is really useful to decrease diabetes mellitus. Your most important purpose should always be to boost up your pancreas gland to supply insulin in sufficient amount whereas at the exact same time you should take some preparatory measures to test the random release of glucose from the stomach. Ultimately, you should try to reduce the frequent discharge of carbohydrate from intestine. The assimilation rate of carbohydrate should be prohibited. In this connection, you’ll have to read reviews and medical books for acquiring more authentic info regarding the diabetes treatment techniques.

We all make mistakes and you won’t be surprised to hear that people that test their blood glucose also make mistakes. We’ve compiled a list from other people’s experiences of the most common mistakes when testing your blood glucose which often result in error messages. After reading these errors hopefully you won’t make them!

1) Using out of date strips – test strips have expiry dates just like food and if you use test strips after their expiry date you may get an error message on your meter or worse a wrong reading without knowing it.

Make sure before testing that the test strips are in date.

2) Wrong test strips code – most test strips come with an individual code on the bottle/packaging. This code must match the code displayed on your glucose meter. If the codes don’t match you will get error messages.

To avoid this problem check every new box of test strips has the same code as shown on the glucose meter.

If not, change the code on the meter.

3) Re-using a lancet – this is a common mistake. Re-using a lancet could affect the accuracy of your reading and could be very painful.

Every time you test your blood glucose, use a fresh new lancet.

4) Uncapped test strips – test strips need to be kept capped in their container. If the container is uncapped for too long then this can affect the accuracy of the test strips.

Always cap your strips after use. If you find a test strip container that was not closed properly or you’re not sure how long the strips had been uncapped for, then replace the test strips.

5) Poor storage conditions – test strips need to be stored in a dark, cool, dry place. If they are not, this can affect the accuracy of the strip.

A bathroom or a window sill would not be good places to store test strips as bathrooms generally have a lot of water in the air and sunlight exposure on the window sill will degrade the strips.

6) Meter accuracy – the best way to check your meter is still accurate is to do a control check. Aim to do a control check at least every 3 months and perhaps each time you use a new box of test strips.

Always remember control solutions have a 3 month expiry, so after 3 months make sure you replace them. This applies to all control solutions from the one touch ultra control solution to the accu-chek aviva control solution. Click on the link to learn more about the control solutions.

7) Order of testing – some meters, such as the one touch ultra range, require you to put the strips into the meter first then place the blood sample onto the strip, other meters ask you to place the blood sample on the test strip first then place the strip into the meter.

Make sure you know which order your meter needs you to test with otherwise they will be an error message on your meter screen.

Meter units – glucose meters can measure in 2 units, mmol/l or mg/dl. Which units your meter measures in does not really matter as long as YOU know what units it measures. There are meters available which can measure in both mg/dl and mmol/l. The risk here is if you accidentally change the units and you do not realise there could be a huge difference in the actual readings.

Always look on your meter screen to see what units your reading is in. All meters will show you the units. Ideally, if you have meter which measures only in one unit it would be best.

All the meters at Glucosemeters4u.com measure only in one unit, mmol/l.

Hopefully, you can learn from these common mistakes and avoid them!
