Diabetes

I have been looking at various websites and wonder if anyone has any experiences with Glucobetic tablets for diabetes - I am being threatened with insulin, and would rather try some natural herbal remedies first, but as these only appear to be available in America and not in the UK, I would like an opinion first

 I take care of many diabetics and as you well know it is nothing to be taken lightly.  Although diet and exercise, losing weight and eating right will lower your insulin dependence many of these herbal remedies can actually harm, not help your condition.  There are things that help but I have doubts about this one.  If it sounds to good to be true.....  Check out this link.

  Both my parents were diabetics by my age.  I hope to not become one.  However.  If I do I will probably do the medication.  Because untreated diabetes causes so many terrible problems.

     Hugs, Julie

I don't know about diabetes so I am afraid I can't help you.  Donna has a website for diabetes as she suffers herself.  Here is the link to her main blog, look for the entry about her second journal - she has her diabetes link there.

I hope this helps you.

My father suffers from diabetes, and takes an oral medication called, "Metformin" over here in Canada. You can read about it here, or do a google search
