Several natural products seem to work. For example, you hear a lot these days about Diabeticine and Vitabase Blood Sugar Formula. Both of these products get great reviews at place like this: http://www.nutritionaltree.com/reviews/diabetes/special-combinations/default.aspx

My father has type 2 diabetes. He really loves life and likes travelling around the world, which usually involves alot of walking. Recently he came home for a visit and the doctor pointed out that he'd lost the use of one of his feet, he hadn't realised, but he cant lift it or flex it up and often trips over..is there any alternative medicine to fix his foot, like acupuncture? or stop it getting worse? The doctor hinted he might not be around for much longer because his liver is damaged too?
