Dr. Marcantel,
Given that you appear to advocate a natural approach to managing type 2 diabetes, you might be interested in this research reported by Dr. Lee Zhong (Ph.D., UCLA, Neuliven Health) on the benefits of some dietary supplements, like mulberry leaf and alpha lipoic acid, in reducing post-meal blood sugar spikes. The research also emphasized the importance of monitoring these spikes (in addition to regular all-day monitoring), since these spikes have been shown to be a major factor in developing diabetes-related health complications. I found this to be very useful information and hope that others will too. See this article published in Diabetes Care, http://care.diabetesjournals.org/content/30/5/1272.full, along with this report by Reuters news service: http://www.reuters.com/article/pressRelease/idUS295696+12-Nov-2008+MW20081112.
