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.

Having diabetes is a hard condition to cope with.Some people take it all in their stride but some people can find it hard to come to terms with,it takes time.I myself am type 2 diabetic and have my off days so 1 tip i can give too you is try and see things from your Friends point of view their diet/energy levels/and basically whole lifestyle has had to change in a short space of time and also some medications (IE)metiformin can contribute to mild depression so try and just be their as a Friend

Answer 6

It changes your life in so many ways, but as long as your friend keeps a check on her glucose levels and realizes when they may have dropped, that's one of the scariest parts out the way. No doubt your friend knows all about the diet, but it's not harmful to eat a piece of chocolate if they're really craving it. One thing to avoid at all costs....grapes. They send your sugar level sky high. tell your friend to always carry a packet of energy sweets around with her, Lucozade, or whatever type. These really help if your friend feels shaky, dizzy, anything that points to heading for a hypo', when his/her level drops. There's so many things to remember when you first get diagnosed, and so many illnesses connected with diabetes. Don't try to cram in all the information at once. You learn as you go along, be careful, but don't let it rule your life. If you want a site, just type in Diabetes, and you'll find loads of info. Don't let it all scare you. Hope your friend starts to find it easier to cope with soon, and she's lucky to have someone like you who cares. One last thing, Those special foods, sweets, for diabetics, stay well away from them. They do more harm than good. The diabetic sweets and chocs give a lot of people stomach cramps and diarrhea. Good luck

Answer 7

Many common natural remedies are claimed to have blood sugar lowering properties that make them useful for people with or at high risk of diabetes. Learn here https://tr.im/5DNNl

A number of clinical studies have been carried out in recent years that show potential links between herbal therapies and improved blood glucose control, which has led to an increase in people with diabetes using these more 'natural' ingredients to help manage their condition.

Answer 8

Tell your friend to talk to the doctor, most towns have some kind of diabetes help group and I'm sure the doctor can give your friend the info to contact them. The doctor can also recommend a nutrionist your friend can see to help with the dietary restrictions. Also some insurance companies offer info on dealing with diabetes. I'm sure there are good websites out there as well, although I've never really searched.

Answer 9

I also have a friend with diabetes. Not sure what his type is but he had to discipline himself and watch his diet. You would never know he has diabetes unless he told you. I know he does drink a lot of coffee and his doctor tells him to continue.

Hope this helps a bit.

Some links;-

http://www.gidiet.com/
http://www.diabetes.org.uk/
http://www.diabetic.org.uk/

The first link is a site of a diabetic and is excellent.
The others are all sites I have used since my diagnosis and are useful to varying degrees.
Tips...Monitor blood glucose regularly, eat healthily and exercise every day. Lose any excess weight (if she is type 2) and always take a positive outlook. Its a condition which can be managed and it should not take over her life;

Answer 11

Got it here, too. Watch carb intake per meal. Eat cinnamon, at least a teaspoon per day; take 200-1000 micrograms of chromium supplement at night to curb the "Dawn Syndrome", adjust chromium for best results, lots of H2O and exercise a LOT. Some websites say smoking pot will lower blood sugars but I don't know about that. After heart attack, can't take metformin, actos, etc., causes arrhythmia. Have to do the cinnamon, etc. it works for me.
