How to control high sugar levels in thalessemia patients

[radhikarao1961]

Excellent one.  Will try out these asanas and the suggestions you have made.  

[hava]

These yog pranayam exercises will help control the diabetes and the blood disorder.The extra oxygen going into the body, makes the blood cells oxygen rich, and in turn will help the thalessemia. Initially do the pranayam for the maximum duration,twice a day, and then gradually reduce to 15 minutes, after you start to see improvement.
Build up the timing gradually.If you feel tired or dizzy, stop and resume after about a minute.The benefits will be noticed in weeks as the sugar level is checked regularly and blood test result will show improvement.Over the long term the diabetes will be in full control.

Kapalbhati -(Do it before eating) Push air forcefully out through the nose about once per second. Stomach will itself go in(contract in). The breathing in(through the nose) will happen automatically. Establish a rhythm and do for 15 to 30 minutes twice a day.
Children under 15 years – do 10 to 15 minutes twice a day.
Not for pregnant women. Seriously ill people do it gently(once in 2 seconds).

Anulom Vilom –
Close your right nostril with thumb and deep breath-in through left nostril
then – close left nostril with two fingers and breath-out through right nostril
then -keeping the left nostril closed deep breath-in through right nostril
then - close your right nostril with thumb and breath-out through left nostril.
This is one cycle of anulom vilom.
Repeat this cycle for 15 to 30 minutes twice a day.
Children under 15 years -  do 10 to 15 minutes twice a day.
You can do this before breakfast/lunch/dinner or before bedtime or in bed.Remember to take deep long breaths into the lungs.You can do this while sitting on floor or chair or lying in bed.

Also everyday, press the centre point of the palm of both your  hands 40 times with the thumb and press the tips of all fingers 40 times each.
To stimulate the pancreas to produce insulin: mandukasan(not for pregnant women) - kneel down(with feet pointing inwards,and sit on the ankles/heels, Vajrasan position), breathe in and breathe out completely and hold your breath, pull the stomach in, press both your  hands on stomach, bend forward as much as possible keeping the head straight, hold for 5 to 15 seconds and come back up while breathing in.Do this asan 3 times daily before meals, to stimulate the kidney and pancreas.Mandukasan2 - Repeat the whole process(mandukasan) 3 times,but this time with with fists of both hands pressing against the stomach(by the navel).Mandukasan can be done sitting on a chair, if you cannot bend the legs.This asan should be done before meals.
Continue the pranayam once a day, after the diabetes is in full control.

Thank you Wave, I ma working on it.  Just could not make time.  Thank you so much

You're welcome radhikaro1961. Since thalessemia is an blood disorder and diabetes is marked by high sugars in the blood, I thought it best to speak with the blood expert, your Hematologist.

Unfortunately, MedHelp does not have a blood disorder forum or I would suggest posting there. We're not allowed to post links to other web sites but if you Google'd 'thalessemia forum' you'll get a bunch of hits. Quite possible someone is diabetic and can offer suggestions. Good luck.

Hello WaveRider

Thank you so much.  Shall speak to a Hematologist.  Haven't approached a Hematologist separately regarding this.

Speak with your Hematologist about your alpha or beta diabetic needs. Hopefully another reader has experience to offer you advice beyond my limited knowledge.
