Dear Dr

I have had Type 1 diabetes, the autoimmune type of diabetes where my pancreas destroys any new islet cells that produce insulin as soon as they are made by my body. I do not produce any insulin at all. I have had this disease for 30 years, I am also a diabetes educator. My last HBA1C was 6.1 indicating excellent control. I was using the latest insulin's, Lantus at 20 units given every morning and Humalog given on a sliding scale at about 9 - 15 units /day. I also am taking 2.5 mg Zesteril and 81 mg aspirin. I have not complications from my diabetes.

On April 18th at the advice of Dr. Pravin Patel I began to drink 24 oz. of luke warm water in the morning upon rising within 5 minutes.On April 19th I began to add chewing 1/2 t fenugreek seeds in the AM and taking 1 capsule Madhukep with the meals I eat most carbohydrates at Lunch and dinner. The first day I had 2 insulin reactions and so decreased my Lantus, long acting insulin to 18 units and also took 1-2 units of Humalog insulin less with my meals.After 1 week of gradually reducing my insulin to avoid low blood sugar reactions my total intake was down to 18 units of Lantus and from 6-12 units of Humalog/day. I was not feeling as "hungry " for simple carbohydrates at all. I noticed I did not have 1/2 of the food cravings in general.

On May 4th, Dr Patel treated me with the _Quantum biofeedback and blood sugar was quite low all day. I only took Humalog (the fast acting insulin) once that day with one meal in which I ate 45 grams of carbohydrates which I would normally have taken 3 units of insulin for and for which I took 1 unit on that day. I lowered my Lantus dose to 16 units on May 5th and added the Hindi meditation for healing to my new regimen. My appetite is less. At noon my blood sugar was 88, and so I did not give myself any insulin for a lunch with 60 grams of carbohydrates (I would normally give myself 4 units of insulin) and my blood sugar was 220 at 3 hours after.In general, my requirements for insulin are much less and are coming down daily. I have finally been able to lose some of the weight that fixing my low blood sugars has given me. I do not feel like eating meat, or simple carbohydrates.

My average. blood sugar for the past 2 weeks is 130 according to my Ultra One Touch Meter.

Thank you Dr. Patel for doing what no other doctor has been able to do to this extent with me!I am very grateful for your help!

Sincerely yours,

Cynthia R. Fena RDH MT
