is there any over the counter suppliment to help fight Pre Diabetes?

Q. im at the high end of Pre diabetes, I have cut back on sugars, and do mild exercise on a semi regular basis. i have been about 250lbs for the past 5yrs and am 6 ft tall, i know Im overwgt but its not increasing.
I have a semi physical job as a landscaper/garner.
thanks for all your help.

A. If you consider a healthy diet as an over the counter supplement... There are no magic bulets, dietary supplements are not required to prove any of their claims and often products that are banned by the FDA still have approval as dietary supplements. Your best bet on the hocus pocus snake oil market would be chromium, cinnamon and Stevia. It's carbohydrates that you have to regulate and spread out, sugars are just a carbohydrate. You have to have smaller more frequent meals and select lower glycemic index alternatives to spread out the load so your pancreas can handle it. It's not just about cutting out the sugars. Attend a diabetic education center seminar, most of what you think you know about diabetes is completely wrong.


I have pre-diabetes, probably because of my years of eating Taco Bell daily and not exercising enough?
Q. I read in Prediabetes for Dummies that I can't have diet soda anymore. I'm wondering what it is that I can eat. Also, I'm thinking this pre-diabetes is the cause of my fatigue and lethargy? What do I need to do to prevent more severe complications. I'm willing to cut out all sweets, but what can I eat?

A. Two things....diet & exercise....


My husband was just diagnosed with Pre Diabetes. What can he eat and can't?
Q. I'm worried about it. He is 43 and is a really skinny person. All of the searches I have read said loose wait, loose wait but he doesnt need to. I guess he just needs to watch his diet but we dont know what he can and can't eat. I just dont want him to get Diabetes. :( Any of you with Pre diabetes?? If so, How are you taking care of yourself??
Thank you!

A. Here is a recipe for life..


There are 3 key steps to controlling glucose levels for pre diabetes:
1) EXERCISE- Walking is fine but Nordic Walking is Ghreat. Exercise also lowers Glucose levels , lowers Cholesterol and lowers Blood Pressure. Google it.Exercise is Non-Negotiable !!!Thats why it is Number 1 on the list.
2) Knowledge- http://www.phlaunt.com/diabetes/index.ph� This is a great site for info
3)Diet- A low carb diet is in order. I can't count carbs so I use Mendosa's Glycemic Index Diet. Great for the whole family. http://www.mendosa.com/gilists.htm

Good luck and welcome to the club

I need new health coverage. I have pre-diabetes, or am diabetic. I have been denied 5 times and need to know?
Q. I have been denied 5 times and need to know what companies insure those with pre-diabetes or diabetes. I also want one that has the best coverage for the lowest amount.

I will need the insurance for about 2 years. I am a full time student, self-employed in Direct Sales, 39 years old, and a widow. I live in Tennessee.

A. Hi Mandy

There is an article you probably want to check

In the article they 're reviewing the TOP 5 �Resources for Diabetes Care"

To qualify them, they have selected 3 basic criteria:

1. Quality Content
2. Useful Information
3. Valuable Tips

You probably will find some resources more interesting and useful than others. But in general terms they all provide very valuable information which I believe really worth considering. Click the link below to find out more

Hope you find useful, Good luck
