Is there a natural supplement that lowers blood sugar without causing hypoglycemia?5


I’ve known a few Type 2 diabetics who’ve had enormous success with apple cider vinegar. They would dilute shot glass’ worth of the vinegar with water and Splenda and then drink the concoction with a straw (because vinegar erodes enamel). I would only recommend this if your blood sugar is high (over 140 mg/dL) because some people I’ve known have dropped 50-60 points in as little as an hour.

Has anybody had any positive experiences with diabetes cures or treatments?8

My dad has type 2 I think. (It’s the one where you don’t use insulin). The problem is he lives in Africa where the drugs can not be trusted. This is obviously very worrying as I am in the U.K and cannot oversee anything.

Anyway, if anyone can help I would really appreciate it as you can imagine it is driving me to dis-pare. Another option is bringing him here for treatment. Can anyone advise on this or have any ideas for me?

I have type 1 myself but,for type 2 as with type 1 his diet is very important. Avoiding starchy things like pasta,bread and potatoes. eating lean meats fruits and vegetables in proper quantities would hopefully do the trick. I have heard talk about cinnamon being helpful to type 2s but I don’t know if that has proven to be effective or not. Best of Luck to you and your dad.

ATTN: Raw Food Vegans?2

I’m interested in adopting a Raw food diet, however I don’t want to become 100% raw. I still plan to each various cooked foods, and meats(chicken, seafood)… because I can’t let them go sorry! However, majority of my diet with be consisting of raw foods.

I became interested in raw foods, literally last week, when a friend of my cousin was found to be cured of type 2 diabetes, and high blood pressure after suffering with them for 20 years.

My question: Will I still receive the health benefits, and all the good things that come with having a raw food diet.. Even if I continue to add cooked foods and meat to my diet.

Yes you will. You did not state how old you are. As with any type of diet change make sure you have blood work and certain tests done to make sure you are getting what you need. Also make sure you take a multi vitamin as well as B-complex to make sure you are getting the essential vitamins you will need. Make sure your doctor is aware you are making a change and you should have no problems.
It will take your body awhile to adjust to the change so give it time. And do not forget the acidophilus!

WHy is Diabetes so out of control ? So many people diagonsed every day ? We need a Cure?10

I hear of so many young people beign diagosed with type 1 diabetes
Im sorry but this does suck .. No your life is not over , but with the daily injections , diet controll , can you even go out for a slice of pizza
with your friends .. ?? Type 2 I understand more ,I am one , and being
over weight and not enough activity , I know the reason , and amworking on it . Type 1 actaully makes me mad , stupid huh?
Children teengagers diagnoed with this disease is not only painful because of injections , but are limited on so many foods that as a
youg person enjoyed , I don’t remember going to school with anyone
that had diabetes , Please tell me what , and how do you handle this
during the day at school ..
My heart goes out to each and every one of you that deal with this
on a daily basis .. We need a cure for this ! And hopefully soon

I hope for a cure as well. I believe that the problem is too many convenience foods i am talking frozen foods they are so loaded with chemicals and fat and salt, eating out too much, this day and age kids are not active because they are in playing video games and not going out and playing.

When I was a kid this wasn’t a problem either, but Mom or Dad cooked, they cooked real food not the frozen foods, eating out was a treat, we played outside, we didn’t have video games and we didn’t have computers, and a lot of times moms didn’t have to work so we weren’t latch key kids that came home and threw something in the microwave. Mom had something good waiting for us usually a peanut butter sandwich and milk or an apple.
Today’s parents seem to be too busy to cook good meals and today’s kids are too busy with the computers and video games and have no interest in riding bikes or whatever the case may be. What happened to tag and hide and go seek? Those were games that encouraged excercise.

could this really be the cure?12

on yahoo it told me that a cure for diabetes and very over weight people is the gastric bypass surgery,why then did they tell us with diabetes about,it’s for people with type 1,2 diabetes
what do you think of this
it is good or bad
give me some feedback

Type 2 is when the body makes not enough insulin, or applies it inappropriately.

My sister has always been overweight. A couple of years ago she developed type 2. In her case she was making an insufficient amount of insulin to manage her appetite and intake. Six months ago she had a gastric bypass and while it’s much too early to call this a cure, she has been med free for 5 months, and was given the green light to put away the BG monitoring kit two months ago.

It’s definitely not a cure. Just a small step. And it would only be successful with certain type 2 criteria.

Dr. Tanivir – - what do you have to yell for? She only asked a question.

Want non-gimmicky cure/relief from nocturnal muscular leg cramps, any suggestions?11

I also have dry, cracked heels; would these perhaps contribute to the cramps? I hate going to doctors and am looking for a tried and proven home-style solution. I do have Type-2 diabetes.

You need to stop hating going to the doctor! You have Diabetes! Leg cramps could mean poor circulation and that’s real bad for a Diabetic. You must treat the cracked heels, because bacteria could get into your feet. You need to prevent amputation of your legs now! I hope you find a great doctor! Good luck!

Does anyone have a cure for dry, coughing spasms? and what can I do to build up resistance for the future?14

When I have a cold or flu it usually ends with a very dry painful cough. Coughing fits start with little or no warning and remind me of when I had whooping cough as a child. These spasms can be very frightening leaving me fighting for breath and feeling totally exhausted, and the current cough is the worse I have experienced for years.

So far I have tried Pholcodine dry cough linctus, but this doesn’t seem to be working very well this time.

As I have Diabetes type 2 I have seen a doctor, and been put on a course of antibiotics.

As winter hasn’t started yet I am dreading the next few months, and would also like to know if there is anything I can do or take as a preventative for the future. I will be particularly interested to know of any alternative remedies
.

Please get yourself checked for TROPICAL EOSINOPHILIA. It will show up as a raised eosinophil count in your blood. Treatment is effective with a course of Hetrazan. Talk to your own doctor about it. Cheer up and do not fear the winters.

There is no known cure for diabetes 1, 2 or gestational diabetes. There are life plans which include menu planning and wellness. Please have your grandmother seek out a registered dietitian for nutritional advice.
