This document is a continuation of some misc. stuff I found that may help you with your diabetes. Disclaimer: I am not a doc. You will want to research these topics for yourself. Some of these things seem to work for me. You may also be able to find some diabetic supplements on ebay for very low cost. Some of these tips may not apply to Type I diabetes and some other tips may not apply to Type II diabetes so do your research, be smart and consult your doc. This information is provided to help get you started on your quest for knowledge as everyone knows, knowledge is power especially when it comes to diabetes!NN. A Vegan diet might just be the thing
Studies seem to say that a vegan diet
can help you with controlling your blood sugar levels. Do a web search
on "diabetes vegan" to verify this. A vegan diet can help you lose
weight and lower your cholesterol too! You can find Vegan Recipe Books on ebay.
OO. Mint may help
Studies seem to say that mint herb (or certain mint herb plants in the mint family) can help you with controlling your blood sugar levels. Do a web search on "diabetes mint" to verify this. You can find Mint on ebay.
PP. Fatty Acids Like Omega-3 may help
Diets rich in omega-3 fatty acids may decrease insulin resistance in people with diabetes. Do a web search on "diabetes fatty acids" or "diabetes omega-3". You may be able to take omega-3 diatary supplements to help with your diabetes control. You can find Omega-3 supplements on ebay.
QQ. Corosolic Acid (Banaba extract) may helpThere's very little study done on Corosolic Acid or Banaba extract but what information is out there seems to suggest that is may help lower blood sugar levels and help you lose weight. Do a web search on "diabetes corosolic acid" or "diabetes banaba". You may be able to take Banaba extract diatary supplements to help with your diabetes control. You can find Banaba Extract supplements on ebay.
RR. Peanuts and Peanut Butter may help prevent Diabetes!
Yes, you may not believe it, but peanuts and peanut butter may help prevent diabetes according to some studies. Please search for "diabetes and peanut" to verify the study. Now, be careful because peanut butter has lots of glucose. In fact it has so much glucose that many blood banks use it as food for after when you give blood to bring your glucose back up. Glucose of course is bad for diabetics! So be careful what you eat. You may just want to stick with plain peanuts. Again, be careful as peanuts have fats like triglycerides and such so eat in moderation. But somehow peanuts and nuts are good for preventing diabetes. It's not clear if it helps you if you already have diabetes.
SS. Honey on Diabetic wounds may Help prevent amputation.
Believe it or not, there's a study going on testing that honey may help prevent amputation. Please search for "diabetes and honey" to verify this study. Apparently Honey kills bacteria and is not rejected by the body like some antibiotics are. In diabetics, circulation is poor and an infection in an extremity like a foot heals poorly. When a thick layer of honey is applied it helps kill the bacteria and promote healing thereby avoiding amputation.
TT. Gila Lizard Spit may help diabetes
No joke, search on "diabetes and spit" to verify this study. Apparently Gila lizard saliva is about as effective as insulin. Some drug companies are making drugs out of it to treat diabetes. Weird huh? A drug made from the lizard spit is called Byetta and many people swear by it's effectiveness! Consult your doctor!
UU. Aspirin is Good for Diabetics
Diabetics are much more at risk for heart disease and stroke. An Aspirin regimen may help protect Diabetics from these maladies. It has been recommended for people over the age of 40 who have diabetes to be taking Aspirin every day. The American Heart Association recommends 75 to 162 mg/day of Aspirin. Before you start taking Aspirin, of course, consult your Doctor. Aspirin thins your blood and may be good for your heart and help against certain kinds of strokes. Do not take Aspirin during a stroke as some strokes are caused by bleeding and Aspirin would just make it more severe! Do a search on "Diabetes and Aspirin" to verify this study.
