16. Melatonin and Olive Oil

Hi, I advise nightly sublingual (under the tounge) Melatonin, it upregulates the insulin receptor, makes the same insulin do more. And olive oil, increasing unsaturated fat (vegitable) reduces complication risk.

yes finger stick, walmart ones are cheeper then copays, start with b4 each meal. you could get by with one or two tests a day if you get it under control.

Going to the endoconogist very strongly reccomended, get the diabetic educatior, but a book on diaetes. basically the diet is to standardize your meals to a more fixed portions. Resistant starches, especially white beans really help curb spikes. I advise, just more vegtables, olive oil, melatonin and learning to set your carbohydtare portions more important than avoiding all sugars. Also if it gets more serious later, olive oil is a great back up energy source which makes one more able to handle lower blood sugars before a low blood sugar insulin reaction happens.

Also have him ask for Metformin, it's an anti caner med with good effect on diabetics, plus not toxic and easy to cease with out side effects. I know two older folks who went off the med after just paying attention to carbohydrate portions and Nightly Melatonin use.
