Some very sound research and case histories show that patients' blood sugar improves from the avoidance of allergens. Jonathan Wright, MD, routinely checks all his high blood pressure and diabetes patients for allergies. Patients will sometimes experience a dramatic improvement in blood sugar by avoiding allergens. Weight loss and exercise is probably the most common prescription for any diabetic. It remains as effective as any treatment mentioned.
Many diabetics improve when put on vitamin, mineral, and herbal programs.
However, I always strongly recommend proper testing to detect which nutrients each patient needs. An excess of any nutrient can create the same symptoms as it can when in deficient. This factor can make the difference between success and failure. Diabetics most commonly need vitamins E, B1, B6, and B3. All have been found essential in controlling blood sugar.
