Glucocil

Hello, from what I have been reading Glucocil appears to work for individuals who have high spiking.
I have been reading the post here and I am interested in the Greek herbs. I was diagnosed 2 years ago with Type 2. It took over a year to get control my B/S spiking. In the last 6 months I have started on the Blood Sugar Solutions plan and moved on to the Paleo plan. I do Organic and grass fed as much as possible, but then it is FDA labeling. Since I have mostly controlled my B/S spiking I have lost over 20 lbs. Still need to lose more so I am intersted in the Greek supplements.

I have taking Glucocil for four days now and is working from 164 it has gone down to 121. Try it, it does work, I drink it one before each meal.

Yes! I have been on glucocil for 5 months. I've lost 20 lbs and my A1C was 5.9.

3rd day on Glucocil. Too early to tell if it will work. Still getting readings from 180 - 225 with late afternoon spikes up in low to mid 300s. c1a was 8.5 Have been taking cinnamon for awhile, even before diabetes diagnosis, for my heart. No side effects noted but must not be helping BG with these numbers.

I have not tried it but definitely plan to as soon as I can purchase it @ GNC or online. Go to www.gluocil.com for reviews. Sounds like it really works.

Hello Militarymom, I have just started (day 3) on Glucocil. I don't have any readinds to post at this time. I subscribed to the offer seen on FB to get the 15 day trial for $5. I see some have good results and some don't.I currently take Metformin, Januviua and Insulin. Like a lot of diabetics I'm not the best patient and don't always eat the right foods or stay current on my meds. Diabeties runs in my family. My sister has an advanced case and is now on dialysis 3 days a week due to kidney failure. I don't want to get to that point. Hope this helps me get in the mindset to take control of my disease. I get discouraged and don't stick with the plan when my readings are high.

I have been taking Glucocil for alittle over two months; my fasting sugars have gone from the 250's to below 200. My insulins had been adjusted with little affect. Since starting glucocil i average from 113-190…which for me is amazing…In the year and 1/2 that i have been diabetic my sugars had never been below 200. My A1C ;has gone from 11.5 to 9.3 after only 2 weeks of Glucocil. I have not lost weight, actually I have gained weight :( but I am so happy with Glucocil and what it has done for my fasting sugars. I will continue to take Glucocil and see if it continues to help my sugars.

I have type two. Doc kept upping insulin, I kept gaining and sugar never got under control. I discovered two supplements. Glycosolve and Glucocil. I take them both with meals and it is a miracle. I still need my meds but I don't take as much insulin because my sugar will go too low especially if I excercise. But now I can eat and know that my sugar isn't going to spike. I'm enjoying life again. A swear by these products however I think they work synergistically. Each one helps a little but together - it works. I have never been able to control a1c until now. Highly recommend and I feel great !

Thank you very very much for your input Freebird370. I'm very interested in your findings with use of the olive oil as I understand that only true olive oil has real benefits. I want to know what oil here in the US falls into that category because most olive oil on the shelves here is bad already. Coconut oil seems to be more stable in storage. I've had type 1 diabetes for 45 years. I am now 59. I'm always experimenting trying to find the right supplements. Like you, Chromium works wonders but I take it along with extra magnesium and a little extra potassium. Not good to over-do potassium. Extra magnesium is good for everyone. Selenium is good as well. Diabetics are typically mineral deficient. Maybe that Fresh oilive oil has minerals in it. You can email me randolph.jr@gmail.com If you have any more discoveries or info I would greatly appreciate any feedback. Many Thanks

Glucocil worked for me. It did lower by BS level along with proper exercise and diet.

I wouldn't believe anything the FDA says. They are paid off by the Pharma who make millions prescribing drugs many of which kill people. Glucocil is a perceived threat by the Pharma so they went after them.

I have type 2 diabetes. It runs in my family and was the cause of death of my mother. I am a former athlete and keep myself in excellent shape. At the time the Type 2 was discovered I was swimming a 1/2 mile each day along with running 30 flights of stairs, and weight training 5 days a week. I'm 62 years old and people think I'm in my 40s and shocked when I tell them I'm 62. My point is you can be in great shape, eat a good diet, and still contract diabetes. Especially in the U.S.

I did a lot of research on type 2 diabetes and have read where doctors claim it can be reversed by eating a strict diet. I believe they are right.

I moved to Greece a month and a half ago. I had read where olive oil was good for type 2 diabetes. I started using olive oil while in the U.S. after I discovered I had diabetes. However, U.S. olive oil is garbage olive oil as compared to Greek olive oil. I'm in Kalamata, Greece home of Kalamata olives and considered the worlds best olive oil. Many Italian olive oil companies buy their olive oil from Kalamata, Greece then stick an Italian label on the product they bought and sell it.

When I first arrived in Greece, I started using their olive oil at each meal. I'd soak my bread in it. I know what you are thinking regarding bread. Within 48 hours of doing this I was waking up with BS levels between 104 to 86. In the U.S. with good diet and exercise it was 132 to 138.

Two hours before writing this comment I had ice cream. I've been able to eat ice cream every day and have normal BS readings. I'm going to continue my experiment for a couple more weeks and then contact my doctor friends in the U.S. about my experience.

I'm not a doctor, but I am a scientist (aerospace engineer). There is something going on with the diet here in Greece. There is an island called Ikaria here in Greece where people live on the average 10 years longer and can remain active in their 90s. Look it up.

Right now, no doctor doing any test for diabetes could detect I have it. It is my belief I am reversing my type 2 diabetes with my Greek diet. You won't be able to do this with U.S. olive oil or a U.S. diet as there are just to many chemicals they allow in their food. Chemicals that are illegal in Greece to be added to food. Chemicals the FDA says are safe but are illegal in many European countries.

I'll keep you posted. By the way, cinnamon and chromium supplements also have worked for me. I have now quit taking them because I don't need them now.

I just read that Glucocil is on the FDA illegal diabetes product list. It concerned me because I have been taking the product for about a month. I did not see any reduction in my sugar levels but I did see a decrease in appetite and I did lose a couple of lbs so far. It says it blocks carbs, etc. I'm going to keep taking it because it seems to be helping me with weight loss but I would not count on it for sugar level reduction.

Hi, this is to answer the question does Glucocil work? Yes, Glucocil works! I have been taking it for almost 2 months with remarkable results. If you have been to the website they tell you results are different for each individual. Its working so well that its hard to believe its real. When I started taking Glucocil, April 8, 2013, my fasting blood glucose was 210-215 daily. And if I stayed up late for any reason, like tonight, it was as high as 230. After about 10 days my fasting was 170 with after meal checks under 200. I want to be honest all the way and say I was not counting carbs or calories. Yes, I know. But I needed to see if this was really going to work and against what odds since its hard to do like I should all the time. So I try to do a serving and stay away from what I know is trouble like sweets, sugary drinks, starchy vegetables. So where am I now with fasting blood glucose? I am between 130 and 134. I've been here daily and about the same reading before bedtime for almost 2 weeks. I feel great. My weight is slowly coming down. I do not have the aggressive hunger and desire a portions with more of a normal feeling. I am eating two meals a day because I am not hungry. So I try to make sure I'm including my fresh fruit and vegetables. And I don't feel the desire to snack. I don't crave sweets anymore and can only eat a few bites if I indulge. I have lost 6 pounds without effort with the weight coming off my midriff and stomach. I am really pleased that my weight off has started there because its a problem area for diabetes weight concentration. I mow my yard weekly and now have the energy to return to the gym. Glucocil has done more that lowered my numbers. It has given me back my life to do the things I couldn't do before. I sleep well and feel refreshed in the mornings. I no longer have to get up during the night making the bathroom trips. I am looking forward to my next A1c and have set a goal of 5 by the end of the year.

This is a good article on why you should think about it first before taking it. http://lecom.edu/cdir/news.php/does-natural-s...

Tried and liking it so far. My third month results good lost 10 lbs and no lows or highs anymore.

Hi. I am a user of this product going on my third month of Glucocil use I have lost 10 lbs unintentional and I do not get lows anymore nor high spikes after eating. My 2 hour post meal usually around 135 - 140. So far pleased with it. My last A

I am pre-diabetic and have been using it for a few months now to keep my levels in check. I find it works somewhat for me but you REALLY need to take it like they say and it is very expensive. I think if you are a definite diagnosed diabetic, I'm not sure this would replace any medication you are taking but it might help some. They are large capsules but at least they don't cause any stomach upset for me.

I just found something that says you should not take Glucocil if you have liver or kidney disease, heart problems or cancer. Maybe it is just precautionary on their part but it makes me wonder why, and how taxing this stuff is on those organs. Many of the other ingredients are the typical herbs that are tauted as having an effect on blood sugar levels.

One other thing that I question is on their website in the FAQ the response to is it FDA approved says: "Because Glucocil is a food product, and not a drug. FDA approval is not required. All of Glucocil's ingredients are on the FDA designation list of GRAS (Generally Recognized as Safe)."
If it is considered a food product and not a supplement the Food and Drug Administration would require approval. In an interview with Dr Zhong he says this product is marketed as a dietary supplement. This means it falls in the same crack as vitamins and herbal supplements that are not regulated by the FDA.
Here is the link to that interview. It also questions the use on chromium polynicotinate

I don't know the product and don't know anyone on it so I can not give you any first hand knowledge about it. I know the product I take and have talked to many people who say it has helped them. I have not had any results from the glucose control product yet but it is too soon to expect results. I have had results from the arthritis formula which gives me hope. I also know the products I take from Reliv are considered food products, have US food patents and the company's manufacturing facility is not only inspected by the FDA but passes and exceeds FDA requirements.

If you decide to try it let us know how it works. The reviews on this website don't really say whether it worked or not.

Good luck and God Bless,

Diane

What kind of medications do you take to control your diabetes? From what I have read it is not intended for insulin dependent type2 diabetics.
