In addition to the things you mentioned there are two other things that
will help. My wife is an RN AND a Certified Holistic Nurse. She has
suggested these 2 things to her patients with diabetes and/or
cholesterol problems.

1. 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon in your morning coffee or tea WILL reduce
your blood sugar level by about 25 points. It takes an average of 3
months for this to work. This has been documented in many alternative
health journals. BTW - more than 1/2 tsp will not lower the blood sugar
level more, 1/2 tsp is the recommended amount.

2. 1 garlic pill (1,000 mg ) a day will lower your cholesterol about 10
points. This takes about 2 weeks before results are seen.
