#1 Know what diabetes really is, the real facts, not the commercial crap. If it costs too much. They are just milking you for money.
#2 Just do what needs to be done. Straighten your diet. Get your sun and walking exercise.
Some resources for you guys. You can thank me later when you are well.
To get you started on your way to the truth in health, I have found the following resources to be the most important foundations of my health education:
#1 - http://www.thedoctorwithin.com by Dr. Tim O Shea (read the whole website) the diabetes chapter is http://thedoctorwithin.com/index_fr.php?page=articles/sugar_theif_life.php
#2 - Timeless Secrets of Health & Rejuvenation by Andreas Moritz at http://www.ener-chi.com/more_key.htm (buy the book)
#3 - Natural Cures (they don't want you to know) by Kevin Trudeau at http://www.naturalcures.com (buy the book)
#4 - If you still believe in western MDs and your doctor is a real pain in asking you to lower your blood sugar level... take bitter melon supplements. The best is the pure, real bitter melon vegetable. If not the next best is bitter melon tea. The next best is bitter melon capsules.
Take this to get your nagging doctor off your back. But go back to #1 by Dr. Tim O Shea: Sugar the sweet thief of life. In 60 days, your diabetes will be gone!
There! I gave you a free cure advice. You did not have to pay me anything.
Truth in health is inexpensive.
