It’s for people who: -have trouble keeping low blood sugar numbers -want to bring their blood sugar down quickly -who do not have any issues with low blood sugar readings (below 70). If you do, do not try this at all! -want unique, alternative ideas about how to keep healthy low blood sugar readings As a Type 2 diabetic, my blood sugar can sometimes climb through the roof for no good reason. Most of the time, my blood sugar stays within healthy ranges. But there are times I can do everything right that I am supposed to do, and still get high blood sugar spikes and I will never know why. So I experimented and discovered a formula that will nearly always lower my blood sugar, by anywhere from 20-90 points in 2 hours. I do this formula on an emergency basis. Whenever I find I have experienced a high spike in my blood sugar reading, I will stop everything and do this formula. As far as I know, I am the only one who has found such a formula, and I am publishing it to help others. With over 25 million diabetics and pre-diabetic people in the United States, I know there are other people who struggle with high blood sugar numbers just like I do. So, try my formula whenever you have high spikes and watch your blood sugar numbers come down, too.
