Diabetes - Type 2 - Newly Diagnosed

[Guest guest]

I'm 51, 5'11 " weigh 170lbs. and was just diagnosed with Type II

diabetes. I'm still in shock I think. I run two miles each day, don't

eat junk foods, am pretty fit and otherwise in pretty good health.

 

I don't want to go on medications for life if I don't have to. I'm

really looking for alternative options. Any suggestions?

 

Thanks

I read about your diagnosis, sorry about that I understand it can

really drain you sometimes. My father is Type II as well and I've

been taking care of him for about 1 year now through a remedy I put

together for his diabetes. I will first talk about his condition,

because size does matter. He is 5'8'' weighs about 230, (beer belly)

though not a heavy set, he has a massive bear belly, mostly because

he drinks his daily beer, insulin isn't regulated properly in his

system. The remedy basically is consisted of the following.

 

In a 1 quart glass jar add the following over night (8hrs or more)

2/3 tble spoon of Fenugreek seeds

3'' cinnamon stick broken down

and let soak over night with clean purified water.

 

The following morning it should look slight brownish, yellowish,

bring to boil while adding the following herbs.

 

1 tble spoon of Gymnema Sylvestre (organic)

1/2 tble spoon of bilberry leaves

1 tble spoon of Ginkgo Biloba-herb form (organic)

1/4 tble spoon of Pau D Arco (organic)

 

Take this tablet once a day, 1 hr before meals

 

500mg of Chromium

 

Drink this substance throughout the day, before and after meals.

Let boil for 10 min, low flame. I dont know exactly how it works but

my father was on 3 different medications; one of which he believes

caused him severe ulcer's, allowed my father to stop taking all

three of them. He simply relies on this tea I make for him ever

morning. I had his blood tested 2 months ago and for the first time

ever his blood was at the best its ever been. That blood test was

going to determine if he was going to have to get put on insulin or

not, when results came back, Doc said he's not. Doctor smiled at my

father and told him to keep doing what he's doing and keep taking

the medicine as perscribed because the blood test results were so

astonishing. What ever it does it really helped for my dad, so I

dont see why this can't help out any other diabetic out there. The

total cost should NOT be more than $25. if bought individualy, which

I recomend.

Enzymatic Therapy puts out a glucose control supplement. Also, apple cider

vinegar is said to help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Hi,

 

I was diagnosed with diabetes just over one month ago. I don't fit the

lifestyle or lab profile for either type 1, type 2 or type 1.5. But i

do have high sugar readings. Like you, I am relatively healthy, eat

well except under stress, supplement, cleanse and all that, so was in as

much shock as you probably are. The dr doesn't even know what to make

of me. lol

 

Once you start getting out of the mainstream framework for diabetes, you

will find there are so many ways to approach and treat this. You can

take alternative supplements instead of meds to reduce your sugar

levels, work on your diet, or you can look for what is behind it and how

to make yourself more healthy as a whole. I can give you some ideas,

but I suggest really researching and following every lead you can. Go

to your local bookstore and sit for the day and read. Then go on the

internet and research further following every link or idea no matter how

strange it seems. You know yourself, so see what fits for your

situation and how you want to deal with this. There are several

alternative diabetes groups as well.

 

For me, I know I have had unusual food reactions for years, that I have

not been able to sort out. Finally now, I am finding answers.

 

" Reversing Diabetes " by Julian Whitaker, MD. He provides many

alternative treatments, including many of the herbs that were mentioned

in previous responses.

 

A book/website by Richard K. Bernstein called Dr. Bernstein's Diabetes

Solutions, explains what it is, and provide a diet that maintains low

sugar levels and avoids long term complications.

 

Now, what they don't tell you - lol - allergies to foods or chemicals

raise sugar levels. Physiological / emotional stress raises sugar.

There is some evidence diabetes is a mild form of pellagra or

niacine/B12 deficiency. There is also a major link to inflammation

throughout the body. Also a major link with candida.

 

Teas such as taheebo or essiac show some success. Organ and body

cleanses. Allergy testing (esp. wheat, sugar, dairy, food chemicals).

Live cell microscopy. Homeopathy. Energy work.

 

ok, that should give you some ideas and keep you busy for a day or so.

good luck. check in and let us know how it goes.

rachel,

 

Read Atkins Diet Revolution for a starter. It may help you realise

what about your lifestyle got you to where you are. He was often

successful in getting people off of insulin medications and sometimes

reversing the problems. He also treated with nutrients.
