Answer 4

I'm a 45 year old woman and was recently diagnosed as being a borderline diabetic. My doctor prescribed some medication, but before filling it I decided to do some research on the internet which led me to the methods. After reading this ebook and applying the methods, my scepticism turned to 100% belief. I noticed that my energy levels increased significantly and I felt more rested in the morning, my symptoms started going away.

I am very happy to tell you that I have been feeling better than I have felt in years and my doctor informed me that he will be taking me off my prescriptions if I keep this up.

I recommend you use the Type 2 Diabetes Destroyer to naturally reverse your diabetes.

Answer 5

I'm taking 1000mg of metformin 2x a day and it isn't doing anything for my high bg. I eat a very low carb diet and I'm exercising and I'm not obese. About 10-20% are missed DX as type 2 when they have LADA. If your doing doing everything right and you bg isn't controlled find a good endo and rule out LADA. Metformin is one of the safest diabetes drugs and it works but if it your have LADA it won't do much to control you bg.

Answer 6

I've been taking Metformin 500 mg twice a day (1 morning, 1 night) for several years with moderate results (FBS lowered from about 265 to about 160 or so). About 6 weeks ago I started taking an herbal formula called Diamaxol (formerly Diabeticine) on the recommendation of a naturopathic doctor. (Diabeticine is also mentioned in Kevin Trudeau's books). This stuff really seems to help (I have stayed on the Metformin and the Actos I was already taking) My FBS has been getting lower during that time , down to around 110 or so for the last week, and 96 today. I am very pleased, and no side effects for me. You can find info on Diamaxol on the Net by doing a quick search.

I am convinced, though, that there is no magic bullet and that these things work if and only if you also pay attention to diet and get some exercise.

The only way you will ever know what works for you (and to what extent) is by testing every day, and usually 2 or 3 times a day.

Good luck!

High blood levels of glucose can cause several problems, including frequent urination, excessive thirst, hunger, fatigue, weight loss, and blurry vision. However, because type 2 diabetes develops slowly, some people with high blood sugar experience no symptoms at all. How to treat diabetes naturally https://tr.im/n8mVb

If you think you have diabetes i think you should have a checkup and speak with your doctor just in case.

Answer 8

Reduce your current stress. Your stress hormone cortisol might be activated by extremely low-calorie weight loss plans, intense training, lack of sleeping and day-to-day worries, which leads to a spike in glucose levels as part of your blood. More worryingly, it can promote blocked arteries and fat build around your internal organs, putting you at risk of diabetes and heart disease. Really the only prescription for this is to… chill out.

Answer 9

it has been very effective for me, but I take 1000mg. 2x a day. I at one time was taking another med along with it, but with weight loss I have done well on my metformin. But along with taking the metformin, exercise and correct foods will help and at time some people can do without the metformin and just go the diet etc.

Answer 10

Ask your doctor if you should be taking two 500mgs of Metroformin in the morning and two 500mgs of Metroformin at night, I also take other meds for diabetes too, watch what I eat and workout. Someday I'll have to take insulin they say.

Answer 11

I am a diabetic that has been on metformin for more then 7yrs. I had been taking 2x500 per day; 1am/1pm. When I was diagnosed my weight was 230, and blood readings were avg 133. Over the years I have been more dependent on diet and exercise and using the metformin as a resource to control diabetes not as the main source. As of today my weight is down to 200, and my blood sugar readings avg. 98-110. I still take metformin and under the care of my doctor have reduced dosage to 1 per day.
It wasn't easy and my diet is not as strict as it used to be, but I am more conscience what I can do and shouldn't. It really takes common sense, wise decisions on if you eat it now what penalties will your body give you. I am 5'9, 200lbs and 48 yrs old. I walk about 1 -2 miles 3 days a week as exercise. I also have 4 small kids so I keep moving all the time. listen to your body and doctor and if you are just starting - talk to other diabetics we are there to help eachother, and thats what helped me along with my wife who helps too. Good Luck, all the answers given have been solid advise for you.
