:) my husband's glucose was 106 this morning. He is still on 3 DBcare a day,
one fenugreek, one bitter melon, one actos and an amaryl. On the amaryl and actos alone they said he had to go on insulin. His readngs were in the 200's. thats when I found the DBcare that lowered the readings 50 pts in 2 days. I know, it's difficult to believe :rolleyes: but it happened. I don't think his diabetes specialist believes it either. He just got a new meter also. Since it was 95 yesterday morning it's actually elevated. But it is dangerous , at best, to take insulin and actos at the same time. She said if his glucose is 95-125 he doesn't need insulin.
So she had to change her mind within about ten days :eek: He has had other wonderful effects from the bitter melon besides just the glucose reading. But, then, he also gave up soda. To which he was addicted for decades and I feel contributed, if not outright caused, his diabetes. Now he drinks water and lemon instead. Only now do I see how terrible all that soda pop was to his urinary system.
