Diamaxol (Diabeticine) for blood sugar control
by goforth, Sep 29, 2006 12:00AM
My questions are about Diamaxol (Diabeticine) a natural supplement.
There has been a lot of information and studies claiming that Diamaxol
helps normalize blood sugar in type two diabetics.
Have any of you had experience with Diamaxol or know anyone who has or
Heard of anyone who has used Diamaxol and the results?
Hear is the web page with a lot of information.

Diamaxol is a brand name but I have heard of another product that is called Blood Sugar
Formula that has the same ingredients and costs less then Diamaxol.
Any opinion or info on Blood Sugar Formula.

Hi, I'm not a medical professional, I'm just a parent of a child with diabetes. The FDA says that there is no evidence that the ads for Diabeticine violate the law because they are not correct. For example, it states that Diabeticine is 64% effective for reversing type 1. That in itself is a ludicrous claim. If it were valid, there would be a couple million families buying as much of this as they can.
It is also claimed that Diabeticine increased the number of islet cells. This claim is absolutely bogus. There is no known way to count the number of islet cells in a living person. It's simply not possible with today's technology.
In my opinion, the only reason that the company is able to still market this stuff is because they are claiming it as a "health supplement", which is not subject to stringent FDA regulations. There is no known research of anything which reverses the cause of diabetes. Nothing. This is a bogus product, and I wouldn't spend a penny on it.

For a non medical professional you sure are stating some
hard medical facts!
Just was interested in opinions other then the
marketing people at the web site.
Thanks for the reply comments.
The per bottle price decreases the more you order (buy 2 bottles, get 1 free; buy 3 bottles, get 2 free, etc) and they send a bottle of digestive enzymes with every order, though I personally feel the Now Foods brand pancreatin is just as good and much more reasonably priced.
