If my glucose count is between 137 fasting and 95 normal is that severe? My weight is 190 and my age is 51. I am 6 and have a medium frame.

Question/Comment:
I have taken many diabetic drugs, Metformin, glucophage, actros, janovia, all in strenth of 500..nothing higher..than one of my Dr's, said i should be on insulin, so i started on Novalog and lantus..both together did nothing more than my pills did..infact even taking higher cc's of it didi not help control my sugar, finally anither dr put me on Humulin 500, that stuff works but if i take a little or alot, i still get dizzy and my eyes get dialated and it's terrible. What I want to know being no one ever gave me a higher strenth of Metfomin or another pill..is there a way i can return to taking pills in a higher strenth, i think i am insulin tolerant anyhow. Im tired of taking a needle, I don't like it.

Question/Comment:
ARE THERE ANY NON-PRESCRIPTION MEDS I CAN TAKE FOR HIGH BLOOD SUGAR THAT WORK? I CAN ONY AFFORD ONE PRESCIPTION MED, METFORMIN, BUT, IT MAKES ME GAIN WEIGHT AND I WOULD PREFER TO USE SOMETHING ALL NATURAL, ANYWAY. I HAVE BEEN USING 1000MG TWICE A DAY OF THE CINNAMON CAPSULES AND HAVE SEEN SOME RELIEF IN MY NUMBERS. THE ONLY REASON I STAY OON THE METFORMIN IS IT ALSO SEEMS TO KEEP ME FROM HAVING CONSTANT YEAST INFECTIONS, IS THERE SOMETHING ELSE THAT WOULD WORK FOR THAT, I HAVE TRIED AZO AND IT DOESN'T REALLY HELP TOATLLY. IF ANYBODY HAS ANY SUGGESTIONS I WOULD APPRECIATE THE HELP. THANKS!

I haven't found any otc meds that work for high blood sugar. I too am taking Metformin twice daily. as for the yeast infections, try wiping from front to back that does stop them.

I Highly recommend GLUCOVANCE, It works good for me and not as many diarrhea problems as with the glucophage....So far with diet, exercise and meds, I am still not on insulin :)

Answer/Reply:
Betadine works wonders on yeast along with natural yougurt. Or you could try Lactobacilis Acidololis the natural culture in yougurt. Take 2-3 caps. with each meal. Be sure to keep them in the frig as the cultures are alive. Put Betadine on a cloth (TP etc) and wipe the area every time you pee. It will stop the itching and pain. It can be cheap at Wal Mart (generic.) Its the red stuff the docs wash infected areas with. Use it all the time to rid yourself of the bad stuff. Remember milk and fruit sugar feed the acidoplis. Regular sugars feed the yeast. This works for Athletes foot too.

Vitamin b1(100mg), b6(50mg), b2(100mg), chromium picilonate(200mcg). Once daily. Take the chromium opposite the b vitamins. In other words, b vitamiins day, chromium night.

My b/f is on avangamet. It is very expensive $127 a month. He now gets it free from the manufacture. You can always check into that route on a different med
