Diabetes Talking

Question:

     Chelation for diabetes?  This nonsense has won one of my special awards as yet another inane treatment for diabetes.        Diabetics need proper treatment in order to lessen the chances of diabetes complications.  These diabetes complications are very nasty.  This is not something to play around with.  I have seen too many of my relatives go blind, have foot amputations, go on dialysis, have strokes — and I have gone to their funerals.            Not only may some diabetic waste money for these Chelation treatments, they will also lose valuable time during which they will not be getting proper medical care for their diabetes.        Think about it…  If Chelation were indeed a valid diabetes treatment, we sure would have known all about it by now — after all, we are on the internet!  Where are the scientific journal articles about Chelation and diabetes?      signed, Earl, type 2, age 63, who has survived both a quintuple coronary bypass and a stroke.

LOL well (as far as appearances go) ps….. a friend (ex-medical) who is heavily into "alternative meds" fine upbringing to be using such language…… given that she’s in her late 70’s!!! chelation has it’s place as recognised by the med professionals……. the downside is the number of people/???Dr’s???? saying that what works for X *means* that Y applies as well……. NOT — k t1 13 yr
