Guest guest Posted October 2, 2003 Report Share Posted October 2, 2003 What kind of coconut milk are you drinking? Is it canned or do you make it yourself? If canned can you buy it at grocery store or do you get it online?? sharon - Alobar Thursday, October 02, 2003 2:38 PM Re: Help with Hypoglycemia??? I was diagnosed a diabetic 2 years ago with a fasting blood glucose level of over 360. Initially I took prescription drugs (which I hated! -- because of the nasty side effects). After some research I discovered that the recommended ADA diet had way too many carbos for health. Now I am controlling blood glucose levels (usually between 105-120 these days for fasting glucose levels -- anything under 127 is considered ok for diabetics) thru diet & supplementation alone. I stay away from grains except for bread once a week. No sugar, no msg, very little bottled sauces, no canned goods or prepared meals in a box. All food cooked fresh. No pasta, beans, or other starchy veggies. I eat a potato less than once a month. I eat fruit in moderation, plenty of leafy greens, meat & animal fats (butter, fat on meat), fish. I make a smoothie every day with plenty of fiber in with the fruit. Dairy is organic. Meat is pesticide free & hormone free (I cannot find organic meats). I supplement with alpha lipoic acid, ginseng, gourdin (a sub-lingual form of bitter melon), vitamin C to bowel tolerance, niacinamide, as well as all the other vitamins and supplements I am taking for other reasons. My last meal of the day is a can of coconut milk or some coconut oil mixed with ground nuts. It provides calories but little carbohydrates. The coconut milk has lowered my fasting blood glucose levels about 10-15 points. Lots of fiber is crucial when eating fruit to moderate the glucose spike.
