What Medication would suit me

Iam 65 year old male diagnosed with Diabetes around August 2008. At that time my Fasting Blood sugar level was in range around 92mg/dL while my PP sugar levels were high and out of range around 195mg/dL.

From Aug 2008 to June 2009 to manage my diabetes my doctor put me on Brand - GLYCIPHAGE SR 500mg (Generic - Metformin HCL 500mg) Dosage - 1/2 Tab morning and evening which managed my sugar levels but it lead to severe weight loss.

Now since last two months under a different doctor;s advice I have stopped this medicine and at the moment iam not taking any medicine to manage my sugar level.

My weight has improved but currently I have blood glucose level of 92-105 mg/dL (Fasting) and glucose level of 192-197mg/dL (After Breakfast).

Kindly suggest which medicine is best suited for me.

Your previous doctor was premature with prescribing medication. Your previous and current fasting levels indicate prediabetes. This level can be lowered by proper nutrition, physical exercise, and weight control. You do NOT need medication, just lifestyle changes.

How long after eating "glucose level of 192-197mg/dL (After Breakfast)." was this result? If 2-3 hours after, then you need to change your lifestyle and avoid those foods raising your glucose.

Try not to take too much caborhydrate foods(white bread, steam rice, potato, for e.g).

I'm a diabetes for many years  with HB1ac averaging 178mg. Now, friend introduces me to Mangosteen juice.  I witness several friends of mine able to cut glucose level to 110mg on fasting... With just 2 weeks , I got satisfactorily result fasting 146m... Friends say will gradually reduce to idea level with continue drinking it for say 1-2 months


It is too good to be frue but it helps me and I see no harm to give yourself a try.

It is a direct-sale product. I distrust it but then when there is a good thing, people want tpo make money out of it. Otherwise, who wants to do good thing. That helps me to feel a little easier and willing to try.

I share this with you because it deserves to spread this good news... but if you try it do give yourself 1-2 months. The only thing is that this product seems expensive to me

The glad thing is if condition improve, one can reduce intake of this juice.


If you try .......do let me know your result


Try go to the website : www.xango.com

Hope it helps you
