You are still not a diabetic!!!!!!!!

"mix it with water - its delicious - sticks to the roof of your mouth but never goes down"

Along with cinnamon,
gamma sylveste and, and and.....
Tried heaps of them, wasted tons of money which we could ill afford on so many "great" hopes for natural ways to "cure" this disease.
Don't have the time, the energy or the inclination to dig out the names of everything we have bought - the books, the herbs, the diets - all with the promise that they will "cure "you.
Well I still have diabetes.
I have been on meds - some 12 at last count all, no one after the other - and my doctor is reluctant to put me on insulin if he can avoid it. He has now put me on Daonil aka Glimel which I can tolerate and has just increased the dose - but still not low enough levels.

I do not find ANY of the natural products helpful - for me - in fact in the end the cinnamon ended up making me physically sick because of the amounts I had to take to even come close to lowering the levels.

Hath - touche

Hath, yes I agree that natural remedy's can be costly at times. After all, there is no insurance to cover supplements and vitamins. But I do believe that holistic medicine works. I've seen the benefits time and time again. Certainly though, it's not for everyone. Which why I'm sure you put in the --for me-- emphasis.

And yet you are not a diabetic!!!!!

Well we do not have insurance here like you do so that was never a consideration Sock.

No the emphasis on the "for me" was that I do not be sued over giving people advice on anything as I am not qualified to do so.
A disclaimer if you will.
All I can say about any med - drug prescribed to natural alternative one is how it did or didn't work for ME.
And that is all any of us should do unless you happened to be a trained doctor (as one of my friends is).

hath - I stand an applaud you !

LOL Hath, sue? The only ones who COULD be sued on a chat site would be those who are actually physicians giving out advice "on the record". Such as Drs. Quevedo, Guarneri and Abel.

I just don't want you needlessly worrying that anyone would take legal action over something you have shared.

Oh so basically you feel you can give poor information..... As you can not be sued..... Once again I am going to it, You are dangerous..
