    Hi Paulloft,

     

    Congrats on getting your blood levels down. It can be a shock when the doctor tells you that you have diabetes and the only way to counter that shock is to face it head on. While diabetes can be controlled, it's been said that no one is ever cured. Once you've been diagnosed diabetic, you are either in control or you aren't. David Mendosa, a resident expert here at Health Central has written many articles about the subject. There is one here specifically about supplements. He also wrote an article called "Curing Diabetes" where he states that diabetes can not be cured. Only controlled. You can read the full article here.

     

    While online information is no substitute for a doctors advice, the knowledge people find in online sites does help them ask all the right questions when it's time to talk to their doctor. Asking those questions gives the patient a better handle on managing their care.

     

    Good luck Paulloft, and stay in touch. Let us know how you are doing!

    Vicki M
