My Recent Experience With Diabetes, Metformin And Youtube

If you can Thomas, please keep us posted on your next A1c's because I am so curious about this after being so strict on what I eat, and not brave enough to try a few other foods. Even on my strict Keto, I still can't get my HbA1c down below 6.0, and that's 2 years worth of A1c's.

 

Here's where I'm reminded of BIG Pharma and how much money they'd be out if we found a cure (atleast remissions) in diabetes without the Metformin

 

There are a number of "diabetic tests", several of which are seldom used, sometimes measuring the way glucose attaches to protein which is what causes many of the problems associated with diabetes. There is something called "glycosylated or glycated albumin" which is similar to the A1c but measures a shorter interval (2 weeks I think, but don't hold me to that). The GA is considered a bit more accurate than the HA1c, but has been seldom used in my experience. I don't want to make this too complicated as little would be gained, but you can search for the terms yourself if you are interested. Unfortunately for you, all the good glucose tests involve blood collection in some way.

 

@Denise Happyfeet you could try taking alpha lipoic acid to help with the A1c. It is claimed to reduce the attachment of glucose to protein, which is what the A1c measures. You can find it in local stores or on Amazon. You could start with 600 mg twice a day and go up to 1200 twice a day if you get no improvement. It works for many to lower both the A1c and the glucose levels in many people.

 

I have some of that I think. I'll read about it again as it was recommended for some other issues I can't remember now but may still have, Thank you Don PS I think PubMed might have some info on ALA too yes I still have it but I wish I'd gotten capsules ;(
Oops, too small but it's Source Naturals. Hope that's a good one

 

Yeah, we’ve been having a really hard time with it. One big reason is he developed epilepsy about 6 years ago. Phenobarbital took care of it but he was on a tight regimen, every 12 hours, plus or minus 15 minutes. So for 6 years, we lived our lives around Bryer’s pill time. He could be anywhere in the house and all I would have to do is say, “Bryer, it’s pill time.” He would immediately saunter down to the front room and jump up on the bed. He knew he was going to get a pill but he also knew he was going to get at least 5 minutes of full body massage and a chicken treat. We did that, twice a day for 6 year, like clockwork. Needless to say we have this weird hole in our daily lives. Touching was always on his terms but he was always around, didn’t sleep much. We miss him terribly. I think this picture kind of sums him up.

 

Oh he had those ears with the extra tip on them! I can still cry so easy over the loss of my first (very own from puppie) little dog Toney. Had her 15 years and very fortunate on her health.

 

Yeah, he was a handsome dude. Here’s a better pic of his face.

 

I'ce been drinking this Diabetic Boost now and then and it seems to lower my sugar. For those who can drink wine, it really works good too.

 

Beautiful kitty!

 

I haven't tried the Enterex but have been drinking the Boost,
