I hav been able to reduce my daily morning glucose readings from the
250-400 range by following the plan outlined below, but mainly from the
use of Combetic. My readings now are in the range 79-135 depending on the
quality and length of sleep I get and how far I stray from the diet
recommended by the Eades book. I have followed Dr. Khoo's advice and am
now able to maintain these glucose readings using 1 1/2 tables daily: 1/2
at each of breaffast, lunch, and bedtime.
I have been following the eating regamin presented in the book "Protein
Power Lifeplan" by the Eades. The book also contains a table of suppliment
dosages that has a special column for diabetics. The dosages in that
column exceed those for "normal" people, and I have been following their
recommendations for those suppliments.
The table appears as a two page spread on pages 410-411. Her is that table:

NOTE: I have aligned diabetes specific increased doses to the left
I have also been following the recommendations on diabetic specific
suppliments from the book "A Promise Made, A promise Kept", chapter 7.
There, the author recommends (without dosage specifications -- citing FDA
edicts against that) for SEVEN things:
Cinnamon
Bitter melon
Gymnema sylvestry
Nopal cactus
American gunseng
Fenugreek
Chromium
I would appreciate any advice on dosages, which the book's author says the
FDA has prohibited him from giving.
FINALLY, I have seen the suggestion that one refrain from continuous use
of some suppliments and recommending a monthly "vacation" from some to
reduce the tendency to develop a tolerance that necessitates higher and
higher dosages to get the same effect. I have NOT seen any recommendation
for or against continuous use of the SEVEN things above. Can anyone please
comment on this?
