Guest guest Posted February 21, 2005 Report Share Posted February 21, 2005 I have a friend who is at risk of becoming diabetic, and he is really addicted to sugar. I would like to help him, and besides obviously just getting off sugar, are there herbs that can help with this? I want to send him some help as soon as possible. Thanks!

Guest guest Posted February 22, 2005 Report Share Posted February 22, 2005 I am diabetic and have had much success with Cinnamon and a product by Natural Leaf called Blood Sugar to keep my sugar in check. As far as a sweet tooth is concerned, your friend can have any product made with Splenda and there are many I also recommend the use of Stevia ( a natural sweetner that they can grow). They must test regularly and cut out all white flour ( breads, pasta etc.).

Guest guest Posted February 22, 2005 Report Share Posted February 22, 2005 Thanks for the advice. I have heard that Vitamin C is good for sugar cravings... has anyone experienced this?

Guest guest Posted February 22, 2005 Report Share Posted February 22, 2005 Please note: Splenda is an artificial sweetener and should NOT be used!. For any natural sweetening, use Stevia or organic raw honey. love Lisa - steve rodriguez herbal remedies Tuesday, February 22, 2005 12:17 AM Re: Herbal Remedies - Pre-Diabetes....

Guest guest Posted February 22, 2005 Report Share Posted February 22, 2005 Actually Lane, I heard this many, many years ago, and successfully applied it myself! It really does work! I found that when I started this, I needed quite a bit of Vit C, at least 2000mg per day, and once my body seemed to get enough, I could reduce the dosage to 500 - 1000 mg per day. These dosages might be different per person, so I guess you'd have to try it out yourself and see what dosage works for you. love Lisa - Lane Eddington herbal remedies Tuesday, February 22, 2005 5:42 AM RE: Herbal Remedies - Pre-Diabetes....

Guest guest Posted February 22, 2005 Report Share Posted February 22, 2005 Lane, Have him try Nopal, i have been using it again and found it really helps reduce my craving for not just sweets but for sugary foods ( i still crave them, just not as much as before) Has your friend been diagnosed with Type II or insulin resistance? I also take a combo of herbs that include Bilberry, Gymnema Sylvstre, Fenugreek and medicinal mushrooms. WALKING or other exercise for a half hour is the number 1 thing that anyone will advise if he is borderline or Type II for reducing weight and keeping insulin in check.
