[Trust but Verify]

Is this treatment for insulin-dependent diabetics only? My husband is Type II and takes GlucoVance 250 2X daily. His last a1C was 5.8. He is hoping to be able to control his sugar with diet and exercise only within 6 months. He was diagnosed 9 months ago when his a1C was 13.9.

I've been watching this drug for awhile and it was approved (and is available) for T2 diabetics. Only available by prescription.

For your husband, lookup Benfotiamine. My kid takes it and it did bring down his A1C. It also appears to stop diabetes-related illnesses.
