Follow Up -- And For Cathay
Hi,
I mentioned to Cathay in another forum that I'd try to get some more info from my father-in-law regarding his numbers to see how well the garlic + cayenne solution is working. I spoke with him tonight, so I'm posting what he told me.
He told me that he used to have his blood
Sugar in the 150-160 range, sometimes getting up to 175, and occasionally, with the onset of an illness (or a recent kidney stone), it could hit as high as 200. Now that he's taking my garlic and cayenne pills regularly (six a day), he's usually in the 100-120 range, which is normal. This morning, he was at 91. Since under 140 is considered "normal", he's doing fairly well.
He has not yet attempted to reduce his insulin, although he has ignored a recommendation that he increase it recently. He said that his doctors probably think his recent improvement in blood
Sugar level was due to this insulin increase, but he knows better. What they don't know won't hurt them.
He says that nothing much else has changed in his diet. He hasn't increased his activity level at all. He's managed to lose ten
pounds during this time. Overall, therefore, he's quite pleased with this technique for handling his blood
Sugar elevation problem.
That's all I have to report.
