Alternative treatment for diabetes

Hi! I'm a newbie, is there any introduction thread in here? I've browsed the threads but didn't find one.. Anyways, I've heard some herbal supplements for Diabetes Mellitus like charantia, which is derived from bittermelon. It is believed to lower the level of sugar in the body. Aside from supplements, the primary goal for those patients is weight reduction. Regular exercise with proper diet (calorie and fat restriction) work best. :) Hope this helps.

What i did was to cut anything out of my diet that has high fructose corn syrup in it. and that was not very easy to do.. If i need sugar in anything i use a product called Xylitol. I supplement with Vitamin D3, Coenzyme Q10, Magnesium/Potassium. and i take a product called glucobiotic supreme Made by Atrium. I have also added a product called Salba to my diet everyday. I also make sure i get at least a half hour of exercise in everyday. Walking, bouncing on my rebounder, or putting on some music and dancing. Two years ago i was taking insulin shots, and i was also on pills everyday. and it seamed like my numbers were not getting any better they were still high. after i changed my diet, started exercising, and started supplementing the natural way, i can keep my numbers down more now where they are in a good range. It has not only helped to control my diabetes, but my whole health all together.

A strict diet is great for people with diabetes. Instead of snacking on muffins and candies when your sugar is low, some of my friends keep juice packs and protein bars handy.

Hi mrakobeshiw! Do try ampalaya or bitter gourd. The pharma companies have already produced pills for convenient intake. I sautee this bitter fruit/vegetable with an egg and eat it as a main viand. Sometimes I just make a salad with onion and tomatoes with vinegar and it's good appetizer. Studies had guaranteed ampalaya as combatant to diabetes.
