Some patients with diabetes may feel they can control their blood sugar and StrictionD Review insulin levels with natural, alternative medications. This is at the sole discretion of the patient, but a doctor's care should always be sought in case the alternative treatments are not a viable solution. Bitter melon, gymnema sylvestre, onion and garlic all claim to have a positive effect on diabetes control. Herbal supplements should never be taken in addition to prescription medications without the guidance of a physician as some herbs interfere with the effectiveness of prescription medications. For those with borderline diabetes what is now considered a normal blood sugar level has changed. This is extremely important as those with blood sugar problems often do not realize that they are close to getting this disease. Two blood tests are commonly used to determine if you have diabetes or borderline diabetes. One is the fasting plasma glucose test (FPG). The other is oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT). These tests measure how quickly your body can "clear" glucose from your blood. People who are close to diabetes have blood glucose levels of 100-125 mg/dl after an overnight or eight-hour fast is diagnosed as borderline. People with these results are considered to have impaired fasting glucose (IFG). Now what should be of serious concern to the diabetic is that this is the new lower level. The level was lowered because many people who were once told they were fine were in actuality not fine. Doctors had given people a false sense of security. The question of what was a normal blood sugar had to be changed. myshopy.org/strictiond-review/
