Subject: Fw: RE: Reliv report on the new Glucaffect

If you know anyone who has issues with diabetes, fluctuating blood sugars, metabolic disorders, please read the following about Paul and I with Reliv's new Glucaffect. I'll be glad to help you order some if it's something you want to try. We've been on other Reliv products for a couple of years now with good results. However, diabetes is a tough disease to keep under control especially after 25 years. Anyway, read on..........Lynn

Subject: Reliv report on the new Glucaffect

Day one of the Glucaffect....Paul and I both tried it. Many afternoons around 3:30-4:30 Paul will have a 'low. Around the same time, I'm scrounging for a snack as we eat dinner a little later. Yesterday afternoon we both had the Glucaffect in our tea. Yes, it definitely tastes good.

I was busy all afternoon and when Paul started fixing supper around 5:00 pm I realized that I was probably hungry, but hadn't scrounged for snacks earlier. No low for Paul. He took another Gluaffect last night, didn't take as much nightime insulin. Paul took one less unit of insulin at bedtime and had morning bloodsugar of 78. That means if this continues he could take 2 less insulin as he likes to be around 90 on the blood sugar when he wakes up.

That was with only 2 drinks yesterday for Paul. He'll up it to 3 today....we just wanted to go slowly to keep a handle on the blood sugar. One day, two drinks and results?! We're impressed! (Paul's diabetes is type 1 juvenile onset at the age of 44).

If you know ANYONE with mood swings, and I do mean ANYONE, this is a great product for them. If you know ANYONE trying to break the snack, gain weight cycle, the Glucaffect will work for them. If you know ANYONE trying to keep their diabetes under control. they definitely need to be using the Glucaffect. Have them call me at 303-263-6655 or email me at schmaltzlynn@yahoo.com.

PS For those of you who haven't lived with someone with diabetes, let me describe a recent afternoon. I can usually sense when Paul is getting low by how he looks and if we're conversing, he's not 'tracking' the conversation. Or he says he tired. Or he's reading a book and he stops reading because he's not comprehending. Once I sense that I get him some orange juice to bring up his sugars rapidly.

One afternoon recently the orange juice didn't bring him up, so I had to give him more orange juice. By now he was fairly incoherent, but not incoherent enough to tell me he doesn't need any orange juice, he said he was 'fine.'. Well, he's was not fine. The sugars didn't come up and when I checked him again they had dropped more. By now he was restless and thumping his legs up and down. Thank goodness he was in a big easy chair, and I could just push him back into it when he tried to stand up. Why would I do that? Because when he stands up he's going to crash and fall somewhere. I finally had to give him our last resort shot, but I had to outsmart him with the shot, because he was 'fine' and didn't need it, or so he thought.

When blood sugars drop like that, so does the rational mind. It can be a challenge. Paul checks his blood sugar multiple times a day and is very careful about his insulin dosage. He still has these incidents, though. It's the nature of the disease. He hates it when this happens because he knows he's acting outside of his normal personality. Well, let's say he knows after his blood sugar is up again and I describe our low blood sugar adventure to him. It can make you feel hopeless when this happens. And it causes me concern to leave Paul for several hours and have a low blood sugar incident with no one there to help. I won't leave unless I can call and check on him, and know I can get back home fairly quickly.

When I see something that has an immediate stabilizing effect, it's definitely good news for both of us. It's a real stress on his body to go through these lows (and highs) with blood sugar. And it's a stress on the partner of any diabetic who is trying to assist that individual in getting through a low. You can't have blood sugar too high because that's what does the damage to eyes, kidneys, limbs, you name it. Diabetes is a horrible disease and Paul has lived with it for almost 25 years, plus 8 years on dialysis, plus a kideny transplant. The research shows that many who have metabolic problems eventually develop diabetes. That includes those with mood swings. I say bravo to Reliv for developing this product!

This am was day two. Paul cut back 3 units on insulin last night and this morning blood sugar was 62 this morning. That's a little lower than he likes on wakeup, and ideal would be about 80. He had one drink with all his reliv in it around noon, no lows this afternoon. He'll take the 2nd one with dinner in a bit and the last one at bedtime around 11pm. So far this is pretty awesome. Cutting back 3 units last night would leave us with the expectation that he would wake up high around 160-220, which is too high. It looks like he'll be able to manage insulin on lower doses and not have undesirable highs and lows. Awesome!!! Lynn
