I realize that conventional health care is necessary and appropriate. That having been said, there are also many things WE can do to overcome type II diabetes, and improve life as a Type I diabetic. I've been researching alternative medicine, and the amount of help that's available to diabetics is amazing.
Natural remedies are quite effective, and include:
Cinnamon regulates glucose, and has a polyphenol compound called MHCP that mimics insulin and activates cell receptor sites. A quarter teaspoon twice daily makes a difference. Fenugreek increases blood flow and inhibits the growth of infectious organisms. Everything on the list has a use in fighting diabetes. Learn how to use these herbs and don't fall victim to diabetes needlessly.You can find out about about them on line, or in a book I read cover to cover--
"One Son's Quest for the Cause and Cure of Diabetes", ISBN 7890766313
The author, a doctor, lost his mother to diabetes and spent the next 20 years finding a way to overcome it. My brother was dying of diabetes, and I was just starting to need insulin when we came across this definitive work which came out in February 2005. We both lead mostly normal lives now. It's a life saver, and the best money you'll ever spend on the subject if you decide to go that way.
Cinnamon and fish oil. Cinnamon has been shown to reduce blood sugar levels in diabetics and fish oil is currently being studied as an aid in controlling blood sugar levels. Omega-3's (in fish oil) do so many wonderful things and most of us on a western (American) diet do not get nearly enough in our diets. Taking 1000 mg of a fish oil supplement (sometimes more is advised but I would consult my doctor before taking more) a day is a good way to ensure you are getting enough.
Other than those two "wonder foods," it is important for everyone, including and especially diabetics, to get plenty of dark, leafy-green vegetables and exercise each day.
I commend you for looking for alternative ways to control your diabetes. Be sure to monitor your blood sugar regularly and take care of yourself!
you want to take chronium picoliate, it helps ur body use the insulin more effectively. You want to take 600mcg daily. You also might want to try milk thisle it helps with liver and kidney functions and it also stablizes blood sugar. My husband has had diabetes since he was six years old and he is insulin dependant. He uses these in conjuction with his insulin and it has made a world of diifference. good luck
In addition to two recent discoveries, blueberry leaf extract, and fig leaf extract, I've put together several things that might interest you on my diabetes info webpage: http://www.geocities.com/seabulls69/Type_II_Diabetes.html
