Any suggestions for my husband?!


Question: My husband is permanently disabled, so exercise, even walking is hard for him, to do. When he was first diagnosed about a year ago with diabetes, the meds were really helping- plus he took cinnamon- now he realizes that the cinnamon has been giving him headaches. For the past few weeks, his blood sugar level has not dropped below 200- any suggestions. At this time his doc will not try another med. Thanks and have a Merry Christmas, and Happy Holidays

It doesn't sound as if your husband is going to an endocrinologist.Diabetes is not a job for you GP.
An endo can help him meet up with a dietitian and a diabetes ed class.An endo can also work out better control with medication.
There are so many classes at most hospitals for people with diabetes.Even exercise and education classes.
Try several subscriptions to diabetes magazines.
Good luck.

Byetta works well and reduces the amount of metformin. I'm a type II Diabetic and starting taking Byetta last May.

Byetta is a hormone that you inject twice a day - with a very tiny needle.

my mother also uses Byetta. She seems to like it cause she is still using it after more than a year. more like two now almost. She also takes meds on occasion like when she didn't have the byetta with her to take at meal or when she ate more thatn she should have. also tons of exersize which is not an option for him.

sorry adore him my brother in law and my nephew both died from diabities complications . , just be careful of what u try is all. their are natural remediies for sure but all dont work for everyone and it do take time to see just what does,, sometimes a combination of herb stogether work better than by themselves.. . each of our bodies take different precautions in what we need to reverse or slow down ceratin diseases . .
dont believe all u read either , when trying different things to see what works best for your husbands particular case and body ,less is best . try something in small doeses . ' i am not a doctor of any kind but i am a strong advocate of natural remedies.
as i stated diabities is something u need to treat cautiously and see just what works . i have heard olive leaf extract can help . now too much of anything is not good , use things sparingly in nature to see just what works , and give it time , natural remedies take time they are not a miracle cure all.. the body took time to get the disease it takes time for natural remedies to enrich or replenish that what the body needs to heal too. , that is what i have seen , its my opinion too, bro mj

1Peter2:24, and Matthew21:21,22.
ALL THINGS are possible WITH GOD!
I'm not minimizing your problems; I'm maximizing GOD'S ability in you!
Speak the word only!

How about prayer?
