Sent this info to a friend w/ Type I
 

My friend's grandgirl is married to a young man who lives with Type I...he often gets in trouble as he forgets to take care of himself, so his wife is forever worried about him and does her best to take care of him.

A friend on another health group who I believe is in Australia, sent this info thru, so I sent it to her recently. I know doctors don't know it all...there is so much to know and learn and work with:

Is a great overview on grape seed. I've been taking grape seed ex (OPC) for 20 yrs soon, and I know from the beginning I received info that it can reduce diabetic issues.


Now here's the Iodine/Diabetes Info

There are natural ways to prevent diabetes, for example, oxidative stress* plays a part in diabetes:

and Iodine deficiency is also associated:

Additionally conversion of T4-> T3 is down in diabetes, but that may be a dependent variable resulting from oxidative stress.

If these issues received proper attention, likely fewer people would need Metformin etc. Malcolm))
