Comment from: jjimvele, 75 or over Male (Patient)

I have been treating my type 2 diabetes for the last 30 years with diet, insulin, and exercise with fairly good results. My glycosylated Hb has been less than 7 since. Published: November 04 ::

I helped a friend's mother who was around 76 years old, she had diabetes also and later almost went blind. I got a organic dressing solution (plant extract) dressed her wound (supposed to be amputated), drip her eyes, after 4 days, the wound closed and pinkish skin grew, after 10 days, she's able to enjoy television. I am not here to offer medication, I just said, herbal remedy sometime does miracles. Published: June 01 ::

Comment from: tina fidelity, 65-74 Female (Patient)

I have type 2 diabetes which I try to control with 4 tablets a day and 4 insulin injections. In spite of this I am unable to control my sugar levels. Sometimes they are very low, but at the moment they are very high. So far today I have eaten one shredded wheat and one egg plus a small slice of toast. If I eat any less I will fade away.
