    My mom thinks that she may have diabetes. It runs in the family so she regularly checks her blood sugar on a home glucometer. After one high reading she has decided that she has diabetes. I really don't think she does, but it is a possibility. She doesn't want to go to the doctor and get diagnosed. She's afraid of switching jobs and the whole isurance trouble. Pre-existing condition, and all that. She has started a diabetic diet to control it, but I was wondering about natural medications. Does anybody know of anything natural that will help in controlling diabetes along with diet?

    She doesn't want a diagnosis following her. She'd rather control things on her own while she can. If things get bad she will go, but not for now.

    cannabis can lower blood sugar. so dont get on the needle. and it'll probably work better if it were ingested, smokin is fun but ur burning up alot of THC at the same time, which is the magic ingredient, Indica strain preferred.

    Insulin is excreted from the beta islet cells of the pancreas. Insulin, a natural body chemical, floods the body after a sugar-rich meal and causes various cell types to dramatically increase their uptake of glucose, a common sugar. The effect of insulin is to reduce the levels of glucose in the bloodstream. Diabetes can result from the body’s inability to produce sufficient quantities of insulin or from an inability to respond properly to the insulin that is produced.

    mary jane can help/control the levels just as insulin can. do some research, and rid the world of cancer with THC!

    :D

    Hesh-
    That is definitely a cure that I can get behind. But, although my mom smoked a few times in her younger years, she refuses to do it now. The closest I got was after her split from the husband, but now she's not so into it. Especially since she's looking for a new job. But thanks for the help.

    Oh please, you need insulin to process the glucose from the bloodstream to the rest of your body. If the body doesn't make enough or more commonly no insulin at all you need to inject or ingest it to keep a healthy sugar level. Simply said: insulin is the key to get your glucose/ingested fuel from the bloodstream to the 'body engine'. That key can not be replaced by marihuana :rolleyes:
    If your mom regurarly checks her sugar level you guys should be able to be sure by now if she really has diabetes or not. If so, unfortunately she just needs insulin to keep healthy in the longterm.

    I really don't think that she has it. But she is paranoid.
