Q:
What will help lower my husband's blood sugar?

A:
To fully answer this would require a lot more information. In general, it's about refining the balancing act of lifestyle and medications. Does he presently follow a more whole foods way of eating? This may include few to none refined carbs, low glycemic foods, and well chosen proteins and fats. Placement of medications may also be an issue here. With competent guidance, there are many neutraceuticals that can assist here as well. Always check with your practitioner when you are concerned with current management or non-management.
