I realize that conventional health care is necessary and appropriate. That having been said, there are also many things WE can do to overcome type II diabetes, and improve life as a Type I diabetic. I've been researching alternative medicine, and the amount of help that's available to diabetics is amazing.

Natural remedies are quite effective, and include:

Cinnamon
Bitter Melon
Gymnema Sylvestre
Nopal cactus
American Ginseng
Fenugreek
Chromium picolinate

Cinnamon regulates glucose, and has a polyphenol compound called MHCP that mimics insulin and activates cell receptor sites. A quarter teaspoon twice daily makes a difference. Fenugreek increases blood flow and inhibits the growth of infectious organisms. Everything on the list has a use in fighting diabetes. Learn how to use these herbs and don't fall victim to diabetes needlessly.You can find out about about them on line, or in a book I read cover to cover--

"One Son's Quest for the Cause and Cure of Diabetes", ISBN 7890766313

The author, a doctor, lost his mother to diabetes and spent the next 20 years finding a way to overcome it. My brother was dying of diabetes, and I was just starting to need insulin when we came across this definitive work which came out in February 2005. We both lead mostly normal lives now. It's a life saver, and the best money you'll ever spend on the subject if you decide to go that way.
You might want to check Abe Books, Alibri's, or Amazon.com for a good used copy cheap. I bought mine new, and I think it was about $35. I don't get any money from anybody for telling you this--just want to help, and the techniques in this book is what made the difference for me and mine. Best of luck.

Just recently found this 8-minute non-profit video http://www.rawfor30days.com/view.html , about diabetes diet. Click on the link, then click 'View Windows Media' to watch it.You'll be glad you saw it.

circulation is seriously impaired for folk with diabetes, and the blood that gets there is full of stuff the extremities dont want. Foot care is especially important as they are a long way from the heart. Keep the blood flowing, keep the feet raised when possible,check out essential oils, foot massage. Avoid any trauma to the feet, treat any small injury quickly.

diabetics have a vascular system that is compromised by the chronic elevated blood sugar levels. Diabetics need to make sure their skin is moisturized, and that dead skin does not accumulate and crack. Any cut or crack in the skin- especially of the feet, can start an infection that could ultimately lead to an amputation of a toe, foot ot even leg. Healing time is slow

All of the above might be true if the diabetic client isn't taking good care of themselves. I have none of the conditions listed. Why, you ask? Because I keep my blood sugar down.
