Can I Switch From Insulin To Fenfuro Safely?

I am a type 2 diabatic for last 40 years or so and taking insulin injection twice daily. Isit safe for me to switch over to Fenfuro medicine now? If yes, how will the injection combine with this medicine? I am now 75 plus and prostrate problem for which I am taking Dutalfa combo tablets every night. Besides I am passing protin in urine for which I am taking GISSICOR two tablets thrice a day for last 35 days. Please consider the above and advice me quickly. Thanking you. Yours truely, nkm,tel 0000

Dear sir, good day ... i have understood your problems ... you have been taking insulin from so long ... now suddenly why you feel that u need to switch over to some other drugs... you need to take only insulin no doubt ... u pls check your HbA1c, total urine protein 24 hrs Dutalfa is for your prostrate hypertrophy u need to take ot go for surgery if urologist thinks it is needed on scan.GISSICOR and FENFURO are supplement rich in flavonoids and w3 fatty acids ... but they cannot alone control your sugar levels!! if u can take these tablets along with insulin it will definitely help.. your medications are sufficient for time being if you are committed for lifestyle changes.. first stay away from all the fast / processed / and fried food stuffs .. divide your meal in to 4-5 parts per day whenever you feel hungry.. add more of fiber rich food stuffs like green leafy vegetables, raw fruits.. (not juices), eat very less of carbohydrates (rice) avoid sugar completely.. take Millets and breads prepared out of it like ragi.. ragi is a very good source of calcium too...do take more of proteins ... like egg white... say no to oils and cholesterol rich food stuffs ... u can take fish (boiled) but chicken (without skin) rarely...sir, based on this you prepare your diet chart and strictly follow it ..Do exercise .. walk at least half an hour to one hour a day ... try and practice yoga and pranayama ... some aasanas are very easy to practice and also beneficial. Quit smoking and reduce your alcohol intake. Moreover, beet root juice (inorganic nitrate), olive leaves, garlic, termeric, tamarind also have proven benefits. if u can follow these (have to!!) you can definitely see difference yourself by the time you have your next blood investigation report in two months ...ALL THE BEST
