My husband is in his early 60s and he is a type 2 diabetic. Obviously this is not to be construed as medical advice, but on days when he does yard work or strenuous fixer upper stuff around the house, he often can skip his insulin because his blood sugar acts like a normal person's. He has also had some luck controlling his blood sugar spikes with amla, otherwise known as Indian gooseberry. He takes a supplement I order from eBay. He's running out of insulin now and we can't afford it if it is $500 a box (we're lower middle class and just barely scraping by) we will have no choice but to try to control his diabetes without insulin. He has also had good results from taking white willow (B. alba) 2 capsules every evening to prevent diabetic eye swelling and headache. Another thing that really seems to lower blood sugar is well-crafted, homemade food (typical American peasant fare like roasted potatoes and bean soup) because of its etheric richness. Diabetes, I believe, is a product of etheric starvation. My husband is addicted to heavily processed food and does not cook. I don't have time to be his full-time chef, plus he eats addictive things whether or not I cook. I believe if I cooked everything he ate, his diabetes wouldn't be nearly as bad. During the lockdown last year when I was making all of our meals and when he ran out of processed foods to eat, he went for several weeks with no insulin.
