Here are some relevant quotes from the study :
' In the global sleep quality measure (PSQI questionnaire), the control group did better than the T2DM group, indicating lower sleep quality and a greater incidence of sleep problems. Melatonin production lacked rhythmicity and was lower in patients with T2DM than in controls both during the day and at night. The T2DM group showed greater levels of chemerin, IL-1, and a negative connection between melatonin and chemerin levels than the control group. '
' The results suggest that the low melatonin production seen in the T2DM group was most likely the underlying cause of the sleep pathology seen there. It is most probable that high levels of chemerin, which have been linked to other pathologies in the past, are to blame for the blocking of melatonin production in T2DM. '
' The global mean PSQI score for those with T2DM was 7.3 ± 33.3, whereas it was just 3.91 ± 1.1 for those without the disease, which means that the T2DM group slept less well]. In addition, 81.81% more people in the T2DM group had sleep problems than those in the control group (62.72%) . '
' The recent research found that 90% of diabetic patients suffer from some kind of sleep disruption, which is much greater than the incidence of sleep disturbance earlier documented in other illnesses (59% in age- and sex-matched control participants). Sleep quality affects vitality and morbidity and therefore plays a crucial role in overall health.[17, 18] The fact that the diabetes complication of insomnia affects many people underscores its seriousness. Previous research on other conditions has also shown that sleep disorders cause daytime sleepiness and problems with many functions such as the immune system and heart health.[17, 19, 20] '
Recently I posted about how melatonin can help heal diabetic wounds here :
https://www.earthclinic.com/cures/leg_ulcers2.html#melatonin
This 2025 meta analysis of 8 qualifying studies indicates that melatonin allows better glycemic control in T2DM patients :
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39428939/
Here is a relevant study quote :
' According to the results of the current meta-analysis, persons with type 2 diabetes who supplement with melatonin had improved glycemic control. It looks that supplementing with melatonin at a dose exceeding 6 mg daily for over a period of 12 weeks may be more successful than other forms of intervention. '
Overall, it appears that melatonin is worthy of consideration and discussing with your doctor for T2DM.

Nicotine Gum
Nutrients, food and real remedies don't generate that kind of revenue so they don't have high-paid lobbyists and marketing firms with which to control politicians or what the media is and isn't allowed to tell the population at large - I.e. the minds of the people. Hence Wall Street's use of such tactics.
I explore things for myself, preferring to generate my own karma rather than riding around on others' bandwagons licking their karma up off the road and blaming the karmic consequences of doing so on others.

Big Pharma is using you as an ATM machine and you'll never be cured just managed. Stop eating carbs / sugar - that's feeds the cancer cells you have in your body. Give your body what it needs to heal itself because God made us that way.
Black Seed Oil
★★★★★
My late partner had type two for like over 20 yrs before we got together. In 2015 he was diagnosed with bowel cancer, but I'd like to share a part of our story with the hope that it helps you too.
We heard about black seed oil (nigella sativa), so I started to do some research and we both started taking it. I took maintenance dose and he slowly increased to a higher dose.
The black seed oil (BSO) helped a lot, at times he could go without his insulin. If he wasn't on chemo, he could have controlled it a lot easier. It also helped with his liver and immune.
Black seed oil has the potential to cure everything they say. It's proven to help me in my digestive problems, OA pain, sinuses, dry eyes and prevents colds and flu's and keeps my immune strong.
There are plenty of studies and articles on BSO.
WHAT IS THE BEST BSO?

Two Step Protocol for Diabetes
Go with homemade kefir. All you need are some grains and 100% whole milk.
This company is the best in my view https://positivelyprobiotic.com/ everything you require is on the site including instructions.
Each person is different, so you need to try different things until you find something that works for you. From experience & advice from an MD & naturopath, I started with Berberine & Bitter Melon x3 times daily, it worked for me, but I got a better effect by adding cinnamon in green-black tea daily, a strong black seed oil but only as needed = a few times a week. I also changed my diet to eliminate carbs & all sugar except when my nose begins to dry out & does not produce any mucous than I take a little lactose = milk sugar, don't overdo it a little goes a long way otherwise you will need to blow your nose all day long for a few weeks or more, it may take a few days for it to take effect as well. The main thing is to change your diet, eliminate all carbs and sugar. Lookup the DIP diet, just do a search for it. Go to YouTube and look for videos by biswaroop or go to his website, it is on the home page. https://biswaroop.com/dipdiet/ he is the best, you will see this when you watch a few of his videos, you can clearly see he knows what he is talking about.

Metformin and Berberine
Berberine has shown good benefit in diabetes type 2 studies using 500 mg up to 1500 mg per day. Here is a review article that should help you get on track:

Another consideration is thiamine in the form called Benfotiamine which has shown benefit in diabetes type 2.
If you haven't already read P. Raghavan's postings on diabetes on Earth Clinic, you should! Here is one link:

Nutrition and Supplements

70% Fats (good fats) or 113 grams
20% Protein or 73 grams
10% Carbs or 36 grams (I usually just keep this below 50 grams)
I am way not perfect, but I try to be in the ball-park and one thing I do is weigh my foods, I know my BMI, and my Total Daily Energy Expenditure. Mine is about 1450. Another story if anyone wants to know.
So my numbers were pretty high on the diagnosis in January, 7.4 mmol/l or 134 mg/dl. Maybe to some of you that is low but it is considered Diabetic so I hit the ground running. I was scared. My numbers gradually decreased, and my last HbA1c was very good at 6.2 mmol/l (safe range is 4.2 to 5.7). Today I'm getting numbers no higher than 6.0, and recently numbers like 5.4 and 5.2.
As a side benefit, I've lost 16 lbs. I don't miss the sugar at all, have learned to bake with Almond Flour, and I like Stevia as a sweetner in my coffee. Real Stevia by Purisure. Dr. Berg's videos have helped me the most, and also, Dr. Benjamin Bikman on Insulin Resistance which I'm convinced I had long before the T2 came along.
I so hope someone else is helped by this, Denise
PS I really don't exercise enough, but as my energy increases due to diet changes I've already made, and my body rejuvenates itself through those changes, I expect to be doing more. I am 68 and headed for a camping trip (tent-camping) with a friend to one of our Oregon lakes for a week of kayaking and just enjoying the outdoors with some friends, and my little dog Mimmie ;)
PSS forgot to mention my supplements: Magnesium, B Vitamins, C, D3, E, ALA, Taurine, Zinc

From: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/330928900_Metadichol_R_A_Novel_Nano_Lipid_GPR_120_Agonist
NANO SOMA is a nano-emulsion of policosanol, commonly found in unrefined foods such as rice and cane sugar. Nano-policosanol, patented as Metadichol, triggers the body to heal itself. It seems to reverse many age-related diseases and pathogen-related diseases. There are numerous scientific studies on this seemingly miraculous natural particle. There are also many testimonials on the site.
Probiotics and Broccoli Sprouts
★★★★★
The human body is home of trillions of bacteria, viruses, fungi and other tiny organisms. They are called microbes. An average healthy adult has about 15 % bad microbes and 85 % good (probiotic) microbes in the digestive system. This can be determined by stool testing. When the gut flora contains too many harmful (bad) microbes and not enough good microbes, an imbalance can occur. This is known as probiotic imbalance or dysbiosis.
There is a video available in the net titled “Type 2 Diabetes may be caused by gut bacteria” from diabetes research centre at The Netherland. This top research centre is supported by both The Netherland and China. According to researchers at that centre, Type 2 Diabetes have probiotic imbalance in their digestive system. Probiotic imbalance problem can be corrected by one of the four ways:
1) Increase the count of probiotic microbes directly by consuming probiotics. Probiotis can be kefir (one cup per day in the morning on empty stomach) , multi-strain probiotic capsule / tablet ( one per day in the morning before breakfast), mung bean soaked fermented water ( soak 1/3 cup of mung bean in 1 ½ cup of water for 12 hours; drink this fermented water in the morning on empty stomach), etc.
2) Increase the count of probiotic microbes indirectly by consuming fibre-rich foods like flax seed (27 % fibre) , cinnamon powder (53 % fibre), etc. Fibres are foods for probiotic microbes and they will help to multiply very fast. Recently, I met a person who was Diabetes 2. He took flax seed regularly at night for about 6 months. He is no longer Diabetes 2.
3) Decrease the count of bad microbes directly by consuming hydrogen peroxide, apple cider vinegar, colloidal silver, etc. at proper concentration. It requires about 5 times more energy to kill probiotic microbes than the energy required to kill bad microbes.
4) Decrease the count of bad microbes indirectly by reducing the consumption of sugar or increasing consumption of probiotics. Sugar is the food for bad microbes. Probiotic microbes can prevent growth of harmful microbes by secreting toxins and antibodies that inhibit growth of bad microbes.
Once the probiotic imbalance problem is corrected, fasting blood sugar level will come to normal level since fasting blood sugar is mostly due to bad microbes in the digestive system. One may also take fibre-rich foods at night to reduce treatment time.
If a person is suffering from diabetes 2 for a long time, it is possible to have a large number of damaged cells in the body due to high blood sugar. When a person eats food, the blood sugar will go up. Normal cells will store sugar and release sugar when the body needs sugar. Damaged cells will not store any sugar. If the body has a large number of damaged cells, blood sugar level 2 hours after eating will be high. There is a need to convert damaged cells into normal cells. For that, one has to take nutrtious foods containing antioxidants, alkalizing minerals (magnesium, potassium, calcium and sodium), chlorophyll, etc. I am suggesting one of the following two simple ways for this:
1) Take one or two cups of broccoli sprouts per day. Broccoli sprouts are rich in sulphur -based antioxidant, alkalizing minerals and chlorophyll.
Or
2) Take one or two cups of green drinks extracted from spinach, cilantro, wheatgrass, etc. Add antioxidants like turmeric and black pepper, cinnamon powder, grape seeds, etc. to this green drink.
It will take about 2 to 3 months to see improvements.
Best wishes.

Metformin and berberine are great regulators. They won't cure but will keep u happy. Metformin is officially a prescription drug BUT according to Life Extension.com (which is by far the leading science-based magazine and supplement maker in the world) have hundreds of pages and reference hundreds of studies demonstrating the health producing and life extending properties of metformin even though this Rx competes with their products!!
