what they bring to the table without any sniping. Please?
Or at least start another thread if you must, but let's

I'm looking for theories, devices or substances that
can lower blood sugar. That's it. I have no interest
in starting a fight. I want to see what, if anything,
has merit.

Thanks.

Exercise will do a lot to control blood sugar. Its also
the cheapest.

======================
The low-carb/sugar diets seem to be effective in that area.
Try looking into them.

Yes, and if you are overweight, reducing body fat may be
very helpful. And this is even less expensive than exercise
since you save money by not eating as much.

There is anecdotal evidence that cinnamon may help to reduce
blood sugar. Some postulate that it may increase the body's
sensitivity to insulin thus lowering the blood sugar. YMMV.

For type II diabetes:

A. Lose weight.
B. Exercise regularly.
C. Learn about "glycemic index" and eat accordingly.
D. Get a meter to test your capillary blood sugar and use
it regularly. If A+B+C are not adequately controlling
your blood sugar, take oral diabetes medications as
prescribed by your doctor.
E. Don't ignore diabetes or screw around with
"alternative" treatment. You may end up blind, with no
feet, on dialysis.

Run to the nearest book store and purchase the book "The Low
Blood Sugar Handbook" by Edward and Patricia Krimmel. The
author is a lay person who suffered from low blood sugar for
years and never could get it diagnosed. Lots of doctors
tried but nothing worked. He stumbled on a book in a health
food store and it started him on the road to recovery.

I suffered from low blood sugar Hypoglycemia and the
doctor just said "Eat mor protein." nothing else. The book
goes in minute detail of what is good for you to eat when
to eat, etc. etc.

And it discusses exercise, rest, relaxation and Fun.

Great book. Helped me to recover and now I am complete over
my bout with low blood sugar.

Hope this helps.

Let me know what you think when you've read the book. It
will be the best investment you have ever made.

Hi Kim,

I don't really know what caused it. It just happened. I was
having some problems with an OTC product Lamisil topical
treatment for jock itch. Lamisil caused me lots of problems.
The FDA has issued warnings about Lamisil but only when
taken orally. The Lamisil caused a hugh range of problems
like itching skin, sensitive eyes, hypersensitivity to
odors, etc. etc. About three months after stopping using the
Lamisil the weird symptoms stopped then the Hypoglycemia
started. I don't know if there was a connection.

What helped was changing what, when and how much I ate. It
is all explained in the book. Low blood sugar problems are
not caused by the amount of blood sugar. It is the rapid
rise and/or fall of sugar in your blood that causes the
problems again explained in the book.

The book only cost $12.95 and is well worth the money if you
or anyone you know suffers from low blood sugar.

I have no connection with the author or the book.

If you'd like to call me to discuss this please do.

Take care.

Sorry about all those symptoms. Allow me to suggest two
things you many want to try next time. These are just
SUGGESTIONS because I myself never had the problem
obviously. One man I knew cured his JI using watered down
common household bleach after his daily shower! He also
slept in the nude and started to bleach his underwear. Two
others used the old standby of Iodine mixed with some kind
of oil - mineral or baby oil. This also gets rid of athletes
feet and ringworm. I know it works for ringworm and AF
because I've used it myself for both conditions.

I had the problem for about a year after my son was born in
the 1960s but it went away on it's own. I also suffered from
toxemia the last week before he was born.
