Do you recommend Glucosil for pre-diabetes?
I'm a bit puzzled about my *high* blood sugar readings after I breakfast on a protein drink (to avoid eating bread). There is no sugar in the protein powder. Anyone have any idea as to why my readings would be high (in the 120-160 range two hours after drinking it)?
Protein is good, no bread is good, but what is the Carb. content with the protein powder and milk or whatever you are using to mix the drink with. Carbs., not just bread are the enemy.
Hi dgevans8251,
Thanks for your reply. Carbs are 8g, of which 7g are fiber. This is a vegan protein powder.
Anyone know what happened to freebird370?
Hi I will like to know if you have done your formula, and if are going to share or sale it!
i have been taking glucoril for about a month. BS is still up there at times, but does seem to be stablizing. I do notice after alot of stress it spikes in the am. I have occaisional headaches and dizziness. any one else experience this with this supplement?
anyone taking cinnamon capsules along with glucocil and to what kind of results???
Have taken cinnamon for a long time and found that without chromium, it is not as effective. You have to check labels carefully to make sure you get both.
Hi ACJR I am. I don't want to write it here so that it doesn't seem like I'm advertising the product so please private message me if you want to know which one. I've been taking it now for over 6 months and it's amazing.
hi steph! can you tell me more about using glucocil..or which one will lessen my BS spikes
I can't remove this and I meant it for someone else. sorry
Wake up and smell the coffee. You are in a dangerous situation and you know the consequences. Start taking care of your self now because no one is going to do it for you. Exercise and watch your weight!——-

How long does it take to see results for Glucocil. I have been taking for about 11 days, still my morning sugar is in 120s and if I eat heavy then it is in 200s,
freebird 370 - have you finalized your formula and when will it be available in the u.s.?
Freebird370, i was wondering if you had any suggestions on how to reduce blood pressure natually without taking statins?

Select Greek Products www.selectgreekproducts.com but also go the greek and lebanise restaurant and ask there also.
I love Glucocil! I take only that…my doctor put me on the Metformin and it made me really sick…so I quit taking it…my fasting blood sugar has gone from 163 to 118 this morning! It will keep you BS from spiking I have noticed…I take two gel caps three times a day after I eat…no nausea - no head twirling -
Hi. I too feel better with glucocorticoid. Been on it about one month and no longer have the midnoon tiredness. BUT I now smell a fishy odor with the tablets. Do you or anyone else
Wow interesting results I tried glucocil and it def didn't give me those results. Id be careful getting off your meds. Did you tell your dr about that? How long have you been off your metformin and on glucocil alone?
I was only on the Metformin for a short while but I was sick immediately! nausea and head twirling - almost like I had LOW blood sugar…but I was checking it and that was not the case…I then emailed my doctor's nurse and told her that I was NOT taking the metformin and that I was on the glucocil…I still have to watch my diet - not too much alcohol or high carbs…I find that if I stay with meat and raw or steamed veggies my BS is good!
I just signed here after seeing information on glucocil. Im thinking of trying it too. I'm type 2 for 2 years and on Metformin. Last A1C was 7.1 Having a hard time dealing with it because I have never noticed any symptoms and never gone low so I do wellfor awhile then just eat so thought about other methods
check Luckyvitamins.com they offer glucocil a little cheaper than GMC vitamins
It seems to work for me, but is there something cheaper ??
hi queen. Have you tried the one I wrote about below? I tried glucocil and it worked with me but I also felt the price was a bit high. I bought the 3 month supply of CinnaLife and the bottles came out to around $25 each. i remember glucocil was like $45 depending where I would get it. I think I got it cheaper at GNC one time with a discount offer they had but I can't remember too well. I've been on Cinna now for about 5 months, its worked really well for me. they just sent me a promo code of 20% off with CINNA2015 if you are interested and money is an issue. good luck! the link they put on the email to enter the promo code is www.cinnalife.com/order
read the ingredients: the ingredients look right, as I take all of them. the challenge is the quality. I like to see no fillers, organic, no titanium dioxide.. site does not let you see all ingredients. but all of these are something you should take: MY FEAR IS THE DOSAGE… I TAKE 20 PILLS TO GET ALL THIS.

Alpha Lipoic Acid - NEEDS TO BE 1200 MG A DAY
Banaba Leaf Extract
Berberine
Chromium Picolinate
Cinnamon Bark Powder - NEEDS TO BE CEYLON CINNAMON

hahah… you sound like me months back. I think i was taking 20 something pills a day not counting my prescrip meds :( it was horrible, plus I have terrible gag reflux (sorry TMI?) lol. thats one of the reasons why I was looking for a multivitamin/supplement that had everything in one that I could take once a day and be done with it. I'm super lazy too so managing sooo much was an inconvenience for me. take a look at the supplement panel on their site… https://www.cinnalife.com/supplement-facts They listed EVERYTHING on it! let me know what you think? you seem to be in the know of things, maybe you'll have good feedback on what i'm taking :O
Hi JenCo28, Thank you for your post! I ordered my bottle a few months ago and it seems to be working because my sugar levels have dropped and so has my cholesterol!!!
freebird can u please tell what kind of greek oil to buy is it cold press or organic
I believe its cold press, check the site WWW.SELECTGREEKPRODUCTS.COM that's where freebird bought his
I am curious about this as well. Was diagnosed a type 2 approximately 10 years ago. Taking oral meds until recently when my oral meds caused me to have pancreatitis. I'm a patient at MD Anderson for an unrelated matter (polycythemia), but recently learned that my oral diabetic meds had the side effect of giving me pancreatitis. Currently on one daily shot of insulin (20 i.u) after being taken off all oral meds. Looking for alternatives. I exercise, ride bike, and try to eat as healthy as possible. Blood sugars (fasting) are varying from 178, to the hightest yesterday of 289. Wondering if the glucocil really works. Thanks for any ideas, replies, comments.
can I ask if you tried to give up dairy for a few months? I actually got off all meds with a 6 month detox of all sugar and dairy
I tried it for a month, it bring my BS levels down but the stomache discomfort made me think twice about continuing. It was kind of expensive, $67. 00 a month I even cut the dose in half my BS still came down not as far of course but the discomfort did not go away.

please add me? thanks!
I too am new to this site and just ordered a bottle of Greek olive oil from selectgreekproducts.com and my husband is getting a bottle of cinnamon + chromium for me thanks to your posts. My last a1c was good at 6.5 but for some reason my triglycerides jumped to 437 from 213 9 mos ago. The other lipids are almost normal, I don't know what happened! Also my bun is 35, up from 19, and microalbumin 115, up from 7.1. I was a vegetarian for 5 years until I stopped eating grains/gluten 6 months ago, now I've added organic chicken just to have something to eat besides legumes, eggs, vegs, berries, nuts & seeds. I am very concerned about my kidneys, have appt with a new Dr. Tuesday, he's an integrative holistic M.D.. hope he'll be helpful. My previous 3 Dr's were old school. I live in a remote rural area and don't have a lot of choices. Got lucky when the new doc moved here recently and this blog. Anyone have any thoughts on my kidney's? TriG's?
hey feta, check out which chromium you are taking. after starting on my supplement I read specifically that one chromium is better than another one in conjunction with cinnamon. not saying thats the cause but you might want to look at all things you are incorporating into your daily routine. i'm taking cinnalife right now they have a blog specifically on that topic if you want to check it out. their site is cinnalife.com just hit blog and it should be somewhere in there…really informative stuff!

Good for you.. on the trigs - are you excersizing?
Hi everyone, I'm new to this site and have a question. I'm reading here about greek olive oil and wanted more information. Are you suggesting using it with bread before and meal 2X a day?
Coconut oil!!!!!! I replaced all of my olive oil with coconut oil.
did you know that coconut oil is a good saturated fat and saturated fats help heal the cell membrane that are used in carbohydrate metabolism
Anonymous, It's because you are getting a stronger dosage of the same ingredient from two of them instead of one. They don't have their dosage levels high enough for each product individually to be effective. Combine them and up the dosage and you get a better result.

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 did the same thing!! good job!!
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.
how many mg of cinnamon are you taking? i read studies and you need to be taking a good amount for true effects to be seen on the diabetic benefit side.
For the first time in ages, my BG did NOT spike into the 300s after dinner yesterday. Highest was 275 near midnight (I'm a night owl). Yeeaah! Cautiously believe/hoping Glucocil is taking effect and numbers are on their way to normal.
Purchased my Glucocil from GNC for $47 with their club discount. Will have to find a less expensive source if I keep this up.
Amazon is $39.99.
Try drugstore.com
I got mine for $39.99 no shipping, no taxes
I got mine from amazon ( with prime no shipping )
