Tina, here's some more news. It was
reported just a few days ago that Dr.
Einhorn, who heads up the diabetes unit at
scripps health institute, reported to a
meeting of the american diabetes
association about the results of his study
showing that 35% of diabetics have sleep
apnea. He is recommending that all
diabetics be screened for sleep apnea, and
it should be remediated whenever it is
present. My own experience is that within
over the period of a year after I resolved
my sleep apnea, my type 2 diabetes
gradually receded and disappeared. Good
luck.

Bitter Melon Tea Works For My Type Ii Diabetic. Posted: 06-22-05 21:30pm
Tina,
i am type ii diabetic, used to take
glucophage 850 mg twice per day. A friend
told me to drink bitter melon tea and I
did. I thought to use it to substitute
regular tea. Instead, it replaced my
regular medication. The cost per package
is about $3 for four days. Currently, I
am experimenting how many tea spool of
dried bitter melon tea will make how much
differnce in my daily blood sugar level.
Pricking my fingertip become a new and
challenging experience.
The cost is nominal and I hope that magic
will happen to you, too.
