I also recommend diabetics to take a teaspoon of CINNAMON powder which you can find at any supermarket. It's considered 2nd chance since our intakes of medicines has up to the limit daily. I'm a type 2 diabetic too and find this method useful. Guava and pineapple are good for diabetics. Peanuts are bad for diabetics due to conversion into fat, then to glucose inside bloodstream matter. Many do not know about peanuts. So beer(made of nuts) wont be good also. Exercise often. Good luck, your dog category fans!<br><b>References : </b><br> If it’s 126 or over, I recommend you go for exercise and sweat to lower down glucose.

I don't know of a pill that acts like insulin with such immediate effect. What pill are you talking about? The usual Type 2 oral medications, like metformin, actos, etc. are taken on a regular basis to build up in the body over time. So dropping one pill makes no sense.<br><b>References : </b><br> The part that confuses me is the instruction to ‘take away one pill’ if blood glucose levels drop.

His MD put him on it. He had a lot of problems with his diabetes so he started going to an endocrinologist who was really upset when he heard how dad was "watching" his diet. He said the old doctor should have his head examined for suggesting that kind of diet to a diabetic. He said it was not safe.<br><b>References : </b><br> My dad was on a diet sort of like this.

Although you are losing weight, you are still bouncing around on your meter readings. What many doctors prefer is no official meals but many snack like meals (like a piece of fruit, etc), about 6 or so a day. I would think you would be better off with that kind of plan.<br><b>References : </b><br> This is basically an alternating fasting diet where you eat only when you are at an ideal reading.

A new doc suggested this "non-traditional" therapy approach to controlling my type II diabetes.

I’ve been a diabetic for about 10 years, and not able to regulate my suger very well.

Very simple instructions: Take your blood sugar multiple times a day. If it’s 125 or under, eat what you want for that meal. If it’s 126 or over, only water until you hit 125 or below. If your blood sugar drops below 100, take away one diabetic pill.
