That is a very encouraging story. I've known about this for quite awhile now since diabetes runs in my dad's side of the family and have recommended it to my grandmother and uncle. Needless to say, they're off of their insulin prescriptions and are just controlling their sugar levels by exercise and nutrition. It was only recently that I decided to share what I had been researching upon. Best of health to you and your partner. :) - zizzybaloobah, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I read a different article about bitter melon a couple of years ago and it was enough to convince me to try it (after all, it's just a vegetable anyway, so what could it hurt?). My partner was told he needed to decrease his blood sugar or end up on some sort of diabetes regimen. We started taking bitter melon capsules twice daily (I can buy the actual fruit in the produce section, but it's rather ugly and I have no idea how to prepare it). In any case, his blood sugar levels dropped by over 50 points in three months. We also don't experience the sugar 'blahs' like we used to.
Another substance that appears to be beneficial in regulating blood sugar is cinnamon. As little as a 1/4 teaspoon will help. You can easily incorporate that small amount into cereal, oatmeal, or chai tea and hardly notice it. And no need to to buy the expensive 'cinnergen' supplements I keep seeing advertised on television. - ahawks, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Hmmmm... I was just a week or so ago diagnosed with Diabetes, probably Type 1, so this is pretty interesting, yet I have a hard time trusting an article written like this:
(Emphasis added by me by surrounding parts with **)
"Several in vivo rat, feline, canine, and human studies are documented to prove this. If only you, and several others would spread the word of the latest researches in what nature has to offer, **we don’t have to watch rich socialites obliviously spend on insulin injectibles as the poor go blind and clock their deathbed, wait for billion-dollar funded synthetic medications to come up with a cure or join a jogging marathon for a cause we don’t really know much about**. Time has come to alleviate yourself and your loved ones from the risk of developing glucose intolerance, eventually diabetes, and costly insulin shots."
