Hello Betty,

Since I do NOT prescribe any medications, I can NOT advise you on whether you should be taking them or not. Please review these questions and all your medications with the prescribing physician.

We primarily try to help our patients who are diabetic or who have cholesterol or triglyceride problems by advising dietary, supplementary, and lifestyle changes. It takes longer but allows you more control of your life and your choices.

Best of Health,

Doc Kelley

Hello Betty,

The best way to determine your specific needs are to be evaluated by a health care practitioner that is a certified Associate of Enzyme Therapy. S/He would take a thorough history, do a nutritional exam, and order lab work to determine the extent of your sugar handling problem and precisely what you would need to do dietarily and nutritionally.

If you let me know the nearest large cities to you, I can provide you with names and phone numbers. Alternatively, you can call 800-614-4400 and they can provide you with a list of names and numbers.

In the meantime, you would want to begin taking control of your diet as much as possible. If you look at the sections on food and water in my website, you will find an article of "General Recommendations" that we provide to all our nutritional patients. The two sections on "Things to Avoid or Minimize" and "Things to Emphasize or Maximize" are perfect for beginning to take control of your life nutritionally.

After your evaluation by an Associate in Enzyme Therapy, you will receive recommendations for one or more enzyme formulas as well as (possibly) other supplements to help you bring your blood sugar under control naturally.

Best of Health,

Doc Kelley
