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.
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.

Good luck.
