Guest guest Posted September 21, 2002 Report Share Posted September 21, 2002 Hi Janet, Most of the info presented to you is good. I and my husband are diabetics and follow a natural approach to our disease and we are controlling it fairly well. I would like to point out that we are Type II and what we do will not neccessarily help a type I. Our diet....we donot eat...... No grains.....wheat, rye, barley etc....and including and including corn and rice.... No Dairy.........Butter ocassionaly and soft cheeses, absolutely no milk. No Legumes........We do not eat any, Especially soy beans which we believe is one of the worst foods in the world for anyone to eat. No potatoes.....anything from the potato family. ........We do not eat Spinach, peas and rhubarb most other veggies we find ok.... .........We do not eat watermelon or any other melon except rock melon (Cantelope), banans.... ..........Dried fruits we find that prunes with pits (organic only) are good and we can easily control the spike in our BSL (blood sugar level), likewise with organic apricots.....However dried dates and figs our out. For snacks.......Walnuts and or sunflour seeds, walnuts cause us no increase in our BSL the sunflower seeds give us a small but controlable spike in the BSL. Of course no deserts and nacks which spike the BSL On ocassion we cheat by having a great italian dinner, with some wine and pasta and it takes us about 24 hours to get back in control..... Our supplements...... sual viatmins, E and C and B complex..... for neuropghy and any other leg problems we use the herb Butcher's broom and I and about 20 other diabetics use this herb every day and BPY or BPY it works.....you can feel the effects within three days....... to control our BSL, we use Cassia Cinnamon, capsules and for us and a few other people we know , it works quite well.....We have in ythe past used the powder form and have to take about six )) size capsule per serving and sometimes as much as twelve capsules.... We have tried to tincture the Cassia Cinnamon but we feel for some reason it has no effect However recently we have been using Oil of Cassia Cinnamon (which I believe is part of the Coke-a -cola secret receipe...and it shows some great results........ If you are dealing with Type II diabetes , email me with any questions and I'll do my best to help.... Forgot, part of our diet is that we never eat any thing that comes in a package, whether bottle, can or box.... I hope this helps. Love Paz New DSL Internet Access from SBC & http://sbc.
