Over-The-Counter Supplements, herb, spices that lower blood glucose

Hi @Mathgrad97‍ I take vitamin D and magnesium, and while I am able to maintain my BG levels within normal ranges now without medications, I cannot convincingly say that I can attribute this to vitamin D and magnesium.

Hi members, I hope you do not mind me tagging you in this discussion, but it seems interesting in the information @Mathgrad97‍ presented.

Has anyone tried Cinnamon, Bitter Melon, Resveratrol or Magnesium to help manage/control their diabetes/blood glucose levels? Did you notice any changes in your blood glucose levels?

I AVE FOUND OUT SINCE I AM TYPE 2, THAT THE KEY FORME, IS A BALANCED DIET I EAT BASICALLY THE SAME THING PRETTY MUCH AND THAT CONSISTENCY A HAS PROVEN TO BE A WINNER FOR ME, NOT SURE IT WILL FOR EVERYONE BUT I AM OF THE MINDSET, THAT IF IT WORKS DO NOT CHANGE JUST FOR VARIETY.

AS AN ADDON YOU DECIDE WHATYOURDIETWILL BE NOT THE URGE TO HAVE MORE, OR GRATER VARIETY. 

When I eat oatmeal for breakfast steam carrots and broccoli for lunch  then I might have 2 steamed chicken tenders with carrots and broccoli for dinner and I got it down to 155 so maybe it's what I'm eating. But it was aweful the first few days I was 300-289. Now I'm seeing 155-189 so I guess I need to cut back more maybe just 2meals a day may work better for me

In the beginning, I did try cinnamon, but it didn't really work for me as far as blood sugars were concerned. Insulin and dietary changes were the key for me. No sugary drinks, no rice, potatoes, cereal; a lot less bread and sweets, more fruit and salads. I cannot just eat the same stuff every day. That just leads to not eating at all or eventually binging on something I shouldn't be eating. Now I'm off insulin and using Bydureon and Synjardy for diabetes control. Last A1c was 6.1 and hoping to see less than that in September. It isn't really my bg that I need to worry about right now, but controlling weight is a big problem.

Hello,

My name is Fernando and here in some insight on my journey in diabetes. My grandmother, whom I called "Abuela," was the center of our family. She had a warm smile that could light up a room and a kind heart that made everyone feel loved. She was a talented cook, and her kitchen was always filled with the aroma of delicious dishes.

When Abuela was diagnosed with diabetes, it was a shock to all of us. She had always been healthy and active, but suddenly, she had to change her lifestyle and be careful about what she ate. It was tough for her, but she was determined to manage her condition with the right medications and lifestyle. Then, I promise to myself that I'll help everyone with diabetes using some of those modifications (she is still managing her diabetes for 17 years). Therefore, as pharmacy student I will cover more specific information on https://www.pharmdiabetes.com/diabetes57262816. I highly encourage you that take this huge step on your health with proper knowledge you can achieve it. Please take care, best of health, prosperity and abundance for y'all
