Glucocil

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

It seems to work for me, but is there something cheaper ??

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.

Proprietary Mulberry Leaf Extract
Alpha Lipoic Acid - NEEDS TO BE 1200 MG A DAY
Banaba Leaf Extract
Berberine
Chromium Picolinate
Cinnamon Bark Powder - NEEDS TO BE CEYLON CINNAMON
Fish Oil - QUALITY??
Gymnema Sylvestre Extract (NEEDS TO BE A CERTAIN WUANTITY
Insulina (Cissus sicyoides) Leaf Extract Reduces glucose absorption in the intestines

Veld Grape (Cissus quadrangularis)
Stem Extract
Vitamins B1, B6, and B12
Vitamin D - NEEDS TO BE D3

freebird can u please tell what kind of greek oil to buy is it cold press or organic

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.

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?

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?

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.

Have been taking Glucocil for about 4 weeks now. Haven't had a blood test yet but my sliding scale Novolog usage has dropped from about 140 units per day down to about 50 - I'm encouraged!!

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.
