Guest guest Posted September 27, 2005 Report Share Posted September 27, 2005 anne, You might want to try adding about 1/2 t of cinnamon. Sprinkle it on cereal, or whatever...make a tea. Take care, Jane ----- Original Message ----- I was diagnosed in 2000 with Type 2. Since then I've shed over 22kg (more than 45lbs). I have never, EVER been able to get my bg's in the " normal " range despite diet, exercise, meds, insulin. I'm happy if I can keep my #'s under 180. I know it's not as 'tight' as it should be but I'm not going to let this damned disease rule my life! I control what I put in my mouth but my body doesn't behave when it comes to bg's! anne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 28, 2005 Report Share Posted September 28, 2005 Thank you Jane! anne Re: Re: diabetes anne, Yes...off the shelf cinnamon. I'll try to find out more details for you. A woman told me about it at the end of last week, and I'll ask her. I was at a candle party, and I was talking to someone with diabetes, and told her about the cinnamon. She'd heard about it, but never tried it. Hope I can fill you in soon! Take care, Jane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 28, 2005 Report Share Posted September 28, 2005 Who is selling this product, and for how much? I've used r-lipoic acid, but didn't find it as helpful as sustained release alpha-lipoic acid. I take 2400 mg of ALA daily, split into 3 doses. I take 15 milligrams of biotin daily, also split into 3 doses. Most biotin is provided in micrograms. I've not found the r-lipoic acid in sustained release forumlation. The lipoic acids when ingested are only available to the body for an hour or so. Even the sustained release is decreasing in strength within 12 hours. This is similar to the pattern for my neurontin that I take for neuropathy, so I take them at the same time. I don't see anything bad about the supplement, just that I'd have to take a LOT of it to get what is theraputic for me. Sally RE: Re: diabetes I have been reading my Alternative Health Magazine and there is an article about a product called 'insulow " and its supposed to help with Insulin Resistance,, I dont know a lot about it yet, but you can go and read at their site www.insulow.com I dont know if its legit or not, but just came across it,, jax Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
