Diabetic Medication queston

[Guest guest]

I recently found out that my medication for Diabetis is not good.

Treatment with glipizide may increase the risk of heart attack and

death from cardiovascular disease is what it says on Google.

It also says this with MANY diabetic drugs.

What in the World is SAFE to take?

Kathleen,

 

I think that Bitter Melon is the best alternative to diabetes

medications. Also Chromium Picolinate is a must for daily

supplmentation.

 

PS: Caution must be used if you take Bitter Melon supplement along

with prescription meds, as blood sugar levels can get too low. Using

Bitter Melon can get you off any meds for diabetes.

When chosing to go naturally to control diabetes you

want to look at the stressors behind the cause of the

diabetes. Stressed adrenals and pancreas, diet et all

contribute to the cause. Reduce or eliminate the

stressors and you will also reduce or eliminate the

need for additional insulin.

I agree with Jean but strongly recommend that you make an appointment

with a herbalist or alternative practitioner, or, if your doctor is open

minded, discuss it with him. There could be other issues including diet

choices that may hinder the effectiveness of your current medication.

Those side effects you meantioned can also be from poorly controlled diabetes.

They

cannot test glypizide on normally healthy people, so it would be extremely

difficult to

differintiate between med side effects and problems with BG control. I think

Glypizide is

used sometimes when insulin should be started. It works well only for the

mildest forms of

diabetes. I think the newer meds coming out will be much better such as Januvia.

I was

impressed with it when I helped with a trial. The trend will probably go to

combination

meds rather than using single.

 

If I were you I'd look into a low carb diet knocking off grain entirely at very

least. Paleo

would be a good possibility. You need to taper down off the med if you don't

want to take

it but your blood sugar should be in a safe range. Its much better to do with

with a

practitioner who can monitor you and make sure the alternative medications and

diet are

working. I do think there is a very strong link between grains and possibly even

legumes

and type II Diabetes. I have seen in my work that its very difficult to manage

blood sugars

on a high grain diet even with whole grains. I think that a paleo diet would be

worth a

look.

 

Anyway get with a practitioner pick the ideas that you think are worth trying

and work on

it.
