Two weeks ago my husband was diagnosed with Diabetes II. It really did not surprise me, because he is in his 50's, about 48 lbs. overweight and also has been drinking coke with Whiskey almost everynight for the past 9 years. He this out when having a physical for a possible job. His blood Sugar was 300+
I know enough about high blood Sugar that he needs to concentrate now on eating more vegetable and lean protein, and whole grains, and limit simple carbs and sugars drastically ( and even the alcohol ) He also is taking two new oral medications the dr. gave him to help lower his blood sugar. I am very pleased to see that he has been taking this seriously enough to be walking 1-2 miles every day the past 2 weeks. Oh, by the way, I am at opposite to my husband, as I have been hypoglycemic ( low blood Sugar ) for 22 years now. I check with a monitor occassionally my sugars and they always range from 88-114 ( which is basically normal, yet I still can have bad low blood sugar symptoms, if I forget to eat or work out at the gym to hard. Tonight, when I checked my blood sugar, I checked my husbands and it was 367. I was astounded. I though for sure it would be lower, since he's been walking and taking the meds. Or is this normal. . . does it take a while for the body and meds to adjust? Or can the alcohol still stay in his body and liver? We have recently moved to a new town and yet to find a good doctor that is well experienced and knowledged in diabetes and nutrition.
I would greatly appreciate any feedback or advise. ( PS. does whiskey carry alot of sugar in it )?Advertisement

This is a reply to # 1,247,232It does take a while for the meds to work. Usually when my husband or I switch meds (no matter what we take them for) the doctor wants us to come back in about a month to see how we're doing.
That said, there are herbal supplements that he can try to augment the meds. Most notably---one that has been discussed quite a bit lately in this forum---Milagro de la Selva tea. My husband and I have been drinking it and his blood Sugar dropped 20 points after a month's use. For more info:
http://www.milagrousa.com
Other herbs to consider: Gymnema Sylvestre (has no known side effects); Grapeseed Extract (can't be taken if you are taking cholesterol lowering drugs); Prickly Pear Cactus (this needs to be taken with 8 ozs of water 1/2 hour before eating); Bitter Melon (in some people there a side effect of loose stools); Fenugreek (same side effect as Bitter Melon); Indian Kino (aka Malabar Kino, Pitasara, Venga)--this one has no side effects but I can't seem to find it anywhere; Queen Crepe Myrtle (I don't know much about this one); Bilberry Leaves (this one has some side effects); Asian Ginseng (again, has some side effects); Cinnamon (lately some studies have shown that this doesn't help much but we still take it).
If you want to have him try taking some of these herbs, I suggest that you google each of them. Also, go to a website that lists drug interactions with other meds to see if they have bad interactions with any prescriiption meds.
BTW, the Milagro de la Selva tea doesn't have any side effects.

Thank you very much for your reply and info. Think I may seek to find a good naturopathic doctor in the city ( 150 miles away ) to for supplimental and nutritional advise ( I know conventional doctors know very little in this area. )

”This program is probably one of the best on the market, especially for the price.”
IMO!!! If he/anyone does NOT STOP the sugar, the coke, the Whiskey
, elevated carbohydrates foods…to a get going RIGHT NOW/new actions with low daily intake of carbohydrates for all total foods for each day… the meds will do little to help…PERIOD! These “high process foods” are very damaging news to eat for a diabetic. With whole foods --that have not been processed-- the carbs burn at a slow rate…But until he can reduce his numbers…a strick very low carbs daily fact/meals will drop the numbers slowly over several weeks/to a couple of months… Just depends if a person was a diabetic for a very long time before being/finding out about diabetes.
The walking is top/terrific … tell your husband…*WAY TO GO* for the walking…!!!!
Read/click-on the “diabetes home” page at the very top of the page…for a start!
Watch all the high priced claims…for products…most are of very little help…what you decide to put in your mouth to start with… each day …is the best solution in the first place and the healthiest/ bargain basement priced. Learn/do/eat the good healthy whole foods and stay away from crap, high processed foods, and the diabetes will be easier to control….I’ve done it …u/he can too just don’t eat high processed foods they’ll bite you back…
Enjoy life and good whole foods..daily, LHunt

This is a reply to # 1,247,294Also...check/read the post & links, "low cholesterol associated with cancer in diabetics"-by grzbear & tony, right/few below your post.
"MEDS"...possible healthy fact???...after your own personal research for true facts..."MEDS" may not be the "total fix" for a healthy body...long term...that it is promoted by the manufactures...(check with your doctor) just my opinion/decision...and looking at family and friends that have diabetes and their own course of treatment/action...after 6-10 years & poor decisions -they, diabetics- start moving in a negative pace.. hard and fast "own" one's body...U may see/feel totally moved toward a new path "to do" your choice--your decision--your daily action...
KEEP IT SIMPLE START eating smart/healthy right NOW...there is NO magic pill/herb without the eating smarter... with diabetesType2 (or any other major poor health issue)..and that is a BIG TRUE MEDICAL FACT (to write at the top of your list)...need to learn and make it easy/healthy on yourself/ your daily life/your family...--starting out the gate-- with your *medical* FACT of diabetes &/or high/low... not daily healthy normal blood readings the MEDICAL FACT of U "numbers" are right in front of U on U machine or U lab test!!!
Diabetes will not go away..if your choice to NOT believe U have a lifelong major health medical fact..an issue that U will have to manage LIFELONG (medical FACT). This is a common feeling with a new diabetic (me included)..."I really don't have diabetes".
And Don't be one of these "all the time" "LOOKERS" (for the magic stuff)so they can eat ANYTHING!!! ANYAMOUNT!!!EVERYWEEK/day be a doER with the food in your hand/plate eat for health...daily...if U mess-up...get up and do better/healthy the next food choice...that is something we ALLLL do (make bad choices at times)... BE VERY trueFULLLL with your food it will tell you what will happen before you eat it...with some practice/research/learning ...GOOD OR NOT GOOD ...U know what is GOOD and NOT GOOD ...U choose every meal/snack that moves to U mouth...U can.. NOT BELIEVE...a food's goodorbad ...but that doesNOT make it a MEDICAL FACT...u not believing a food is unhealthy...track the results of different foods.
I'm not giving U a hard time/effort/kicking U while U down... but there is alot of "fluff out" the basics are the basics ---start with the basics---healthy eating meals/snacks...MEDICAL HEALTHY FACT!!!Advertisement

”This program is probably one of the best on the market, especially for the price.”
Here’s a link to some questions and answers…some I may not personally follow (such as the doctor’s prescriiptions --diabetes medication type stuff-- for one) but that is a personal choice of mine, “friction” I have or have had with my medical doctors (I DON‘T know you medical condition in your body --BUT- you do or have been told by your doctor-- so your call/choice always ).
The important working issue/daily detail is to keep your glucose numbers…in the NORMAL RANGE!!! Most of the information is very basic good information to build an approach as to ..what’s going on in our bodies as a diabetic? and what do we need to do (daily doing facts) to stop the destruction that out of controlled diabetes will.. Absolutely WILL cause if not controlled …very serious destruction of normal health and a normal day to day functioning of a “get-up-and-go” lifestyle?
Have a great week of doing daily skillful RULEOVER/healthy work out ..for thegoodlife , LHunt

This is a reply to # 1,247,232You have already received some very good advice. My own advice would be to explore eliminating medications to the greatest extent possible - they will ultimately come back to haunt anyone who takes them with side effects that lead to even more medications unless you break the cycle with natural supplements, diet and lifestyle changes.
For more information about natural control of diabetes please see:
