Question by dondon: Diabetic help: What should be the alternative way to do when metformin no more works?
I have been a diabetic for 10 years.
I used to take 1 tablet of metformin 500mg together with foods 3 times daily, and my glucose level were well controlled.
Recently my glucose level are high, reading 13 – 16 mmol 2 hrs after 2 tablets of metformin and foods.
Any add- on medicine for me, or herbs to recommend?
Thanks.

Answer by Clint S
I am going to be the bearer of bad news here.

If your body is no longer responding to metformin, it is because you are becoming tolerant of the drug. You can ask your doctor to switch drugs or ask him for a higher dosage. Unfortunately, the medications will eventually not elicit a response and you will need insulin.

The other possibility is that your body has already regressed into type 1 diabetes. Again, this requires you to use insulin.

On the brighter side of the road, insulin has come a long way. Managing diabetes with insulin is much simpler than it used to be. There are fast acting insulins and insulins that work over 24 hour periods. Plus, technology has given us multiple delivery systems and the insulin pump has revolutionized life for diabetics.

The best medications are exercise and diet. Try to run or walk every day. Running can drop your glucose over 50 points in a matter of minutes.

As far as herbal supplements, the Apple Cider Vinegar works. Look for the organic or sediment loaded apple cider vinegar. Just take a teaspoon in water before your meals. Just be careful because it does make it go low in between meals. .

Obviously, you should start counting calories. You should do whatever you can to get your daily calorie count under 2000. A diabetic on a 1600 calorie diet should get 50% of these cal. from carbohydrates.

You should also educate yourself on the diabetic food pyramid. Because your body works differently, it is important to know what your body needs to function properly.

It should be a goal of yours to get your fasting blood sugar level under 100 mg/dL in a test at your doctor’s office (For Type 2 Diabetics). This can be done pretty effectively by increasing your protein intake and limiting your carbohydrate intake.

Typically there are 3 phases when controlling your diabetes with your diet. Because Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes are different, it is important to go through the phases in accordance with your type. You can learn more at Reverse Diabetes.

Educate Yourself. Did you know that there are numerous deficiencies in diabetics which can be remedied with supplements? For instance, the federal government suggests that an average adult needs somewhere between 20 to 40 mcg of chromium daily. But if you are diabetic, prevention and treatment should be at 200 mcg of chromium daily (1 to 3 times daily).
