Hello Senthil, Frothy urine along with leg/feet swelling in a person with 18 years of diabetes should be taken seriously, even if kidney function tests are currently “normal.” This can represent an early stage of diabetic kidney involvement (proteinuria/microalbuminuria). Early care is very important because timely treatment may slow progression significantly. Nandukal parpam is a mineral-based Siddha preparation. In patients with diabetes and possible early kidney involvement, self-medicating with mineral/herbo-mineral medicines without supervision is not considered safe, especially when: protein leakage is beginning, swelling is present, appetite is reduced. Some preparations may place additional burden on kidneys if the quality, purification, or dosage is inappropriate. Because you already have: frothy urine, swelling, fatigue, long-standing diabetes, this is not a situation for trial-and-error medicines. A personalized consultation with detailed reports is strongly recommended.
