Siddha  handling insulin dependent diabetes mellitus.

       Use 15g Aavaarai kudineer made into decoction along with insulin.. this will help scaling down insulin units.

2 times daily 5-10 mts before food

Morning dose may be split into two with afternoon
AK is a very powerful alpha glucosidase and amylase inhibitor.
Hence better to be administered almost with food Than before or after
Means AK reduces absorption of glucose from gut itself

Plus AK would counter the micro and macro vascular changes inherent to diabetes

Dose of AK is very important. 15 to 20g bd made into decoctiondr.
Under dosages won't work
