    Your first and foremost goal is to lower high blood glucose levels. Exercise and diet is the best treatment for type 2 diabetes. Learning to manage your diabetes is not going to be easy, but once you are in the swing of it all will be fine. Learning what to eat and when is of great importance. Keeping records of your blood tests is very important so you know what does and doesn't cause blood glucose levels to rise. You will also may need to learn how and when to take medications.

    You mentioned Effective. Well there are no herbal treatments that are really effective for diabetes. They may help a little. But not to a great extent.
    Use ¼ to ½ teaspoon of cinnamon per day. Add it to your coffee, oatmeal, smoothie, or wherever you find it palatable.
    If you already suffer from diabetes, be sure to stay on a regular schedule with your cinnamon usage so that your blood sugar levels don't yo-yo.Use the same amount at the same time every day so that you can get a sense of how cinnamon affects your own personal blood sugar readings.
    Use the powdered spice or a cinnamon stick. Cinnamon pills are also available, and can be found easily via an online search. MHCP is water soluble and is not found in cinnamon oil.

    Lime and lemon juice delay the digestion of starches as does vinegar. I've found that 2-3 tablespoons of lime or lemon juice reduces my post prandial BG response by 10-20 points. Rick Mendosa's site has a lot of material on acids in the diet. Take a look at http://www.mendosa.com/acidic_foods.htm .

    More effective than anything is a low glycemic diet and EXERCISE> And I mean Exercise.

    http://www.mendosa.com/gilists.htm This is the best Glycemic index on the web.
    Walking is great. Nordic walking is even better. You use 46% more energy that plain walking. Without even knowing it. I have lost a ton of weight. My blood pressure is now 118/68. My cholesterol went from 240 to 183. And my glucose levels average 111.
    Damn ! I use to hate exercise , but now I have a routine that I like and look forward to it. I start at 6 am and walk (Nordic Walk) for 1 and one half hours . I do the same route everyday. 7 days a week.

    Take care and good luck
