Prior to using the information I found on this site about ACV my fasting blood sugar were running about 250 to 290 even though I didn't eat anything after 8 pm. I don't drink sodas, no white flour, use stevia, eat lots of veggies, chicken and fish. I started off with 2 TSP. ACV in vegetable juice before I went to bed and noticed an immediate drop the next morning. I am also on metformin 1000 AM and PM and actos 45 in AM. I've increased my ACV to 2 TBS twice a day in vegetable juice as my morning drink and evening "cocktail" and 2 TBS added to a liter of water which I drink at work. I've been trying to reduce my prescription med but it seems my numbers increase slightly when I do that so I'll just leave well enough alone right now. This morning my FBS was 114. Also, before this I also suffered from hypglecemic seizures. I'd be feeling alright, start to feel a little off kilter and then wake up on the floor or in the ER. Fortunately this never happened while I was driving but I gave up riding my motorcycle this year because I was so afraid I'd have an episode while on my bike. Since I've started taking the ACV I've been able to feel the physical effects of my blood sugar dropping and take steps to bring it back up. I've also notice a slight improvement in my eyesight. This website has literally saved my life.

It has been suggested one should use apple cider vinegar. (Usually a teaspoon in an 8 ounce glass of water). Not only is this very nasty to drink, but it doesn't work, and here's why. Diabetes, like cancer and other "nasty diseases" require an acid environment to survive. Vinegar, in ANY capacity, is an acid. I had diabetes, and got rid of it in 6 weeks. I could give a long drawn out explaination, but you would probably just skip over it, and look for the meat of the answer, so in a nutshell, here it is. There are essentially 4 things you need to get rid of diabetes. Try them... you have nothing to lose and it can take as little as 3 weeks. They are: Eat foods rich in fiber (beans (not canned), etc...) and low in carbs. Cut out the soda, cakes, pies and candies! (Especially the DIET stuff.) The diet stuff is worse, as they contain aspertame, a known carcinogenic... remember the first 3 letters in diet... D I E! Exercise... even if it's just walking (I walk about 2 miles a day).

It will probably take about a month to habituate. You know this has occurred when you dont really feel the cold after a minute or so of the cold shower, but instead feel quite deatached from consideration of the temperature- you dont really mind it; infact you rather enjoy the sensation. 2. duration: best results occur when the duration of the shower is upwards of 3 minutes ( it takes 3 minutes for blood to make a complete circuit of the system )to 15 minutes. I personally aim for 2 cold showers a day, 11 minutes each time. morning and evening. self- massage your body during the shower to stimulate circulation, and warm the body. Peripheral circulation (PC) is an issue with diabetes - i have found my practice has significantly improved my own PC- but the self massage is essential especially where the body feels cold. 3. wrap up well after the shower, incl thick socks and if you take longer showers (over 6 minutes) ensure the body temperature has returned to homeostasis before venturing out. 4. caution - if you have diabetes with uncontrolled HBP or atherosclerosis , dont try this approch . At the start it can spike BP up , although its final effect on BP is benign and beneficial.

My husband was diagnosed with diabetes II 3 years ago. His starting fasting glucose was 260. We kept his sugar at the 130 range fasting over the past 3 years with medication. Well, a week after the diet his sugar had gone to 110 -fasting. Now 3 weeks later it has gone to 89-105 fasting. We thought the diet changes (we have been more careful about what we put in our mouth) made the difference. However we just realized that at the beginning of the year he also changed from fish oil cabs to Flax oil (2 in the morning, 2 at night). We believe the mix of cleansing our bodies of toxins and the use of flax has contributed to his low sugar levels. He continues to take his Metformin, but we hope to discontinue (or lower dose; from 2 a day to just 1) in the next month or so. P.S: because of his diabetes, while on the diet, he had a low sugar (1g) bowl of cereal in the morning and 1 at night if he felt hungry." http://www.earthclinic.com/Redirect.php?pageLink=/CURES/diabetes.html&name=LOQUATLEAVES_20699 /CURES/diabetes2.rss15 Mon, 05 Jan 2009 00:00:00 EST Dianna from Austin, TX writes: "i live in texas and have diabetes. we have loquat trees growing all over our property. several times mexican people have come to us and asked if they could have some of the loquat leaves and said that if you make a tea with them that it lowers blood sugar. now i want to try this and can't find anyone who knows anything about it and also no real information on the internet. does anyone know the dosage, etc. of loquat leaves for diabetes? has anyone even heard of this besides me and the people i can no longer find? thanks. djh/austin, tx" http://www.earthclinic.com/Redirect.php?pageLink=/CURES/diabetes.html&name=ACV_18828 /CURES/diabetes2.rss16 Fri, 14 Nov 2008 00:00:00 EST Marion from Riverside, Ca writes: "Hello all!

Apple Cider Vinegar does help a little in treating diabetes. It has helped to keep blood glucose levels in a normal range for someone who does not have diabetes, for example. However, it works best in this case in combination with the current medicine for type 2 diabetes. It was taken without taking medicine but the glucose levels were a little too high, however, again, in this case it works perfect in combination with current medicine for type 2 diabetes. It is taken once in the morning and once at night, each dosage the same amount. Two tablespoons of liquid apple cider vinegar with anywhere from half a cup to a full cup of water. Though it is now taken with crystal light/koolaid instead of water because it helps the flavor a lot. It does not taste bad at all.

He told me he had Diabetes and had been taking medicine for the ailment for years. He met a 90 year old lady that told him that his organs will soon be weakened with these chemicals he is taking and he needs to stop taking those medicines and do something that the old folks did mayn years ago that worked concerning Diabetes. The answer is YELLOW DOCK TEA. That is right--this little know plant's roots is made into a tea and steady use eliminates diabetes. Here is proof. The gentlemen indicated he started taking YELLOW DOCK TEA and after one month or so, the Diabetes symtoms we all but gone. He is taking it now and continues to get better and better. My own investigation of Yellow Dock indicates it is not to be taken by the pregnant and those suffering from liver or kidney disease. For everyone else--Go for it. It is very inexpensive. The cost is $3.65US for 24 packets. You can get it on the net....

Iv been eating green bananas don't laugh, nobody here eats green bananas until I got here. its about Resistant Starch and green bananas are the best. Good bacteria eat it, then the bad bacteria and viruses are killed and pushed out. A lot of diseases come from our stomach. Well Marcia's brother Mitchie has diabetes type 2 for over a year. For the past 4 weeks his blood sugar remains normal with out medication and he does not eat a diabetic life style. he even drinks alcohol and his blood sugar remains normal. Yes he is eating green bananas. Now there's a guy next store that had his big toe amputated and the doctor wants to amputee his foot but he said no. it could not heal an open sore on his foot yes he is a diabetic 1 he takes shots. He could not work bed ridden So I got him on green bananas and his sore is healing and now is walking around and working. I have him using silver water for his foot too.

My father was in a diabetic coma, unable to be still enough to have an IV and I fed him oatmeal (put it down his throat-sometimes at the risk of his choking) and he came back to life quickly.
