Type II Diabetic here......... [View all]

Hi everybody. I wanted to share with anyone who is interested a listing of foods/supplements/activities that I have found that help me lower my high blood sugar readings (150+) to safer levels fairly quickly (in 2 hours or less).

Please feel free to add the foods/supplements/activities that you have been using to lower your blood sugar levels. Thanks.

Lemon Zinger Tea (1 teabag's worth)
1.75 - 2.0 ounces (about 2 or 3 handfuls) of lightly salted peanuts (This seems to only work once per day for me.)
1 apple
1 orange
1 pear
20 minute walk (I have found that this activity lowers my blood sugar anywhere from 2 to 4 points per minute of walking.)

I welcome your additions to this thread. Thanks.
