Type 2 Diabetics come on in! Natural remedies..

I think you may be right that once you have diabetes you can't eat those things. But I no longer think those things CAUSE diabetes. And giving them up will not CURE diabetes.

Unfortunately high insulin levels will and always do cause it and in everyone. The thing is you and everyone can get away with it until you start breaking down at the cellular level (insulin resistance). For some that's a decade and for some it's 4 decades but for all it is the inevitable.

ABSOLUTELY! Others that will as well are fresh Lemon water, never bottled lemon juice btw, also bulletproof coffee (look into that) or just coffee in general. Just don't put sugar in it obviously and use whole cream, never half n half or skim. GOOD JOB!!!!!

Excise the autocorrect typo

Get CINAMMON in your body as much as you can as it also works like ACV to regulate blood sugar levels

Yep! I'm taking cylon cinnamon daily in my matcha tea.

Wanted to say I tried the vanadium drink you recommended and it clearly spiked my blood pressure, not good! I believe in chromium but the vanadium has warnings about blood pressure with use. Also very strange is Bcomplexes have spiked my blood pressure any cause for that?I need b vitamins buc tahw taused that??

doesn't work either.. actually the cheaper stuff works better.. but I couldn't use it.. because of the natural blood thinner.. I bought a whole pound of Ceylon and it did jack shit.

Me too, pretty much, and it did nothing. But cinnamon flavored cereals seem to be less spikey than non.

Finally ate something since this morning. We'll see in about an hour how my blood sugar response is.

I've been on a mission since November of last year when I was diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes and Hypertension to 1.) get off the pharmaceuticals I was prescribed, and 2.) reverse both diagnoses naturally.

Based on my research and using myself as a Guinea pig, I have learned that most people with type 2 diabetes are deficient in vitamins and minerals. This deficiency creates inflammation which leads to metabolic syndrome which causes type 2 diabetes and its associated complications.

I've been using the following in place of pharmaceuticals to treat type 2, and it has been working wonderfully for me.

I have been off all medications since March. Here's how.

1. Vanadium (400mcg), Chromium (500mcg), Zinc (600mcg): Taking these before your two largest meals helps manage blood sugar spikes and fasting glucose levels.

2. Berberine (1200mg): Considered as effective for treating type 2 symptoms as metformin, this is a natural compound that helps lower and manage blood sugar spikes when taken before meals. But it takes about 3 months before it starts working.

3. Magnesium (400mg): If your feet are swelling -- a complication of type 2 that can be deadly -- taking magnesium daily will reverse this, almost immediately. If you stop taking it, your feet will start swelling again in a couple of days.

4. Lactobacillus Reuteri (400mg): This is a probiotic that helps restore the beneficial bacteria in your gut which improves cardiovascular health. Since taking it my fasting glucose levels have been below 100 (non-diabetic!) every day.

5. Hibiscus flower tea: This tea has highly anti-inflammatory properties and lowers blood pressure. I make this tea with 100% monk fruit sweetener and a pinch of salt. It's delicious. I also chill and carbonate it with my Drinkmate.

6. Matcha tea: I found that coffee spikes my blood sugar, so I had to ditch it. I have substituted this tea in its place. Matcha has 70mg of caffeine, but because of its anti-inflammatory properties, it combats the inflammation that caffeine introduces. It's perfect for that bump of energy without the negative effects of coffee. I make it with mint powder, cylon cinnamon, and monk fruit sweetener. It's delicious.

I also take a daily multi-vitamin, benfotiamine, b-complex and fish oil.

I hope this info helps those of you who are dealing with the same issue. About 1/3rd of Americans are either diabetic or pre-diabetic because of the soft-kill poisons "they" have been putting in our food. What I've found to help me manage my situation may be useful for those who don't have type 2, also.

Good luck and stay healthy!
