    Antioxidants are always good to include in your daily diet. In fact, blueberries and blueberry leaves, in particular, have a property that is said to help insulin do it’s job better. I don’t know anything about dandelion tea or diuretics because I haven’t had occasion to need them or to research them. Here’s what I have researched:

    I don’t know about dandelion tea, but I can tell you that since I totally stopped drinking coffee and switched to green tea my sugar levels, cholesterol and weight have all improved a lot.

    On the down side, it does mean I have to visit the bathroom more often !

    YES! You can surely benefit from it.

    I realize that conventional health care is necessary and appropriate. That having been said, there are also many things WE can do to overcome type II diabetes, and improve life as a Type I diabetic. I’ve been researching alternative medicine, and the amount of help that’s available to diabetics is amazing.

    Natural remedies are quite effective, and include:

    Cinnamon
    Bitter Melon
    Gymnema Sylvestre
    Nopal cactus
    American Ginseng
    Fenugreek
    Chromium picolinate

    Cinnamon regulates glucose, and has a polyphenol compound called MHCP that mimics insulin and activates cell receptor sites. A quarter teaspoon twice daily makes a difference. Fenugreek increases blood flow and inhibits the growth of infectious organisms. Everything on the list has a use in fighting diabetes. Learn how to use these herbs and don’t fall victim to diabetes needlessly.You can find out about about them on line, or in a book I read cover to cover–

    “One Son’s Quest for the Cause and Cure of Diabetes”, ISBN 7890766313

    The author, a doctor, lost his mother to diabetes and spent the next 20 years finding a way to overcome it. My brother was dying of diabetes, and I was just starting to need insulin when we came across this definitive work which came out in February 2005. We both lead mostly normal lives now. It’s a life saver, and the best money you’ll ever spend on the subject if you decide to go that way.
    You might want to check Abe Books, Alibri’s, or Amazon.com for a good used copy cheap. I bought mine new, and I think it was about $35. I don’t get any money from anybody for telling you this–just want to help, and the techniques in this book is what made the difference for me and mine. Best of luck.

    Just recently found this 8-minute non-profit video , about diabetes diet. Click on the link, then click ‘View Windows Media’ to watch it.You’ll be glad you saw it.
