FYI: Diabetes and Calcium (30 point difference in blood sugar levels with minor supplementation)

So some may know that my husband was diagnosed with type2* diabetes some months ago. He does take injections, of a medication called Victoza. It's a bit different from insulin injections.

I convinced him to take a tablespoon of calcium each day. The kind we use is from a company called Active Liquid Wellness.

I ran out and didn't get back to the store for about two weeks. His numbers started to go up, they peaked at, and remained at, 30 points higher than they had been.

He actually asked me to make a point to get him some calcium (a surprise, as he 'doesn't believe in' my 'weird stuff'). So I did.

The very next morning, he was, and has remained, 30 points lower again. Only change is the regular calcium supplementation.

I just thought that anyone who might be struggling with this might like to know, and perhaps give this a try themselves.
