My Victory Over Diabetes

So my story starts with symptoms
I had been quite overweight, right now am about 230, I had been up to 300 with significantly less muscle tone. But I never was one for gouging or anything so it was kind of mysterious. Also I had to pee almost constantly and had to drink liquids far too often as well. My eyesight was quite variable and my tongue would feel fuzzy and sometimes super dry. The scariest of all the symptoms was that I was starting to have trouble walking. I could walk 10 miles and did so on a couple of occasions but I couldn't walk up stairs without much effort on my legs. I took a trip with some friends from Austin to New Orleans and I had to make them stop so I could pee at least once/hour.
But it never dawned on me that I was Diabetic. Once, about 6-7 years ago I was told by a doctor that if I did not lose 15 lbs I could become Diabetic but even that didn't wake me up to pay attention. I mean, I had once gone for tests and they thought I had hepatitis and it turned out it was a false positive on their testing so I didn't pay much attention to the warning about Diabetes.
Well, that brings me to June of this year when I was in NYC and I had a sore throat and pink eye. I went in to the doctor for some antibiotics or such and we decided to test my blood sugar. My mom, who lives in NYC, is pre-diabetic and she had tested me on a whim a day or two earlier and my blood sugar was at 300. Note that normal blood sugar ranges start at 70 and it is still in the safety zone to be at 130. When the doctor tested me I was at 433! Worse than that there is a test that they do where by taking a single blood test on the spot they can gauge what my average blood sugar has been for the last three months. This one goes on a scale from 1-12. I was... 11.8!!!
I could have easily been in a coma or dead. The doctor decided not to send me to the emergency room because I had good scores otherwise on blood pressure, heart rate and such but he could very easily have done so.
He put me on Metformin (as Janumet) and it started working right away. My blood sugar started going down to low 200s and then high 100s and in a couple of weeks I was stably in the 150 range +/- 20 points or so. In fact, we did a full blood workup and it showed my blood sugar as 156. When I went back to see the doctor again I was under 150 on almost all readings but he wanted to double my dosage. I was on the minimum dosage for Metformin of 500 mg twice per day. I refused and told him that since the blood sugar was now pretty stable I would want to continue at that level while I tried herbal stuff and other holistic solutions.
When I arrived in Austin around the third week in July I was in the range between 90 and 130 but I was still on the meds. The doctor at that time said that if I lost 15 lbs and kept the scores in the same range we could start weening me off the meds and consider that I was no longer Diabetic. He suggested the South Beach diet.
I was pretty excited to hear that I could actually defeat Diabetes.
About a week later I met Ken Russell and received a bottle of his lotion.
I did tests on it twice in a few days time. These tests prove that it works as far as I am concerned.
I purposely spiked my blood sugar. One time I ate a slice of pizza and a gyro with the pita bread and my blood sugar shot up to the mid 180s. I came home and applied the lotion and within two hours my blood sugar had fallen like a shot duck to under 100! I  did a similar thing a second time and got the very similar results of a fall close to 100 points within two hours of using the lotion.
At this point I was feeling very emboldened and I stopped taking the medication cold turkey!
This is not a recommendation to anyone else to do so but I did so.
I figured that if my blood sugar were to spike I could just take a pill of the Metformin and drop it back down again. That was almost a month ago and I have not had a pill in all that time. Just using the lotion has kept me at about 90 in the morning and about 110 in the evening.
Simultaneously, starting about a week after starting with the lotion and dropping out the meds I saw Dr Matt Buckely who put me on a no-grain diet and did some magical healing with me using magnets so this helped as well.
But I went a week without the meds and without Dr Buckley's treatments using only the lotion and some supplements that I was taking prior and have continued taking since starting to use the lotion and the blood sugar was stable during that week. I realized that if I were to apply the lotion after taking my blood sugar reading in the morning and then a second time a couple of hours before eating dinner in the evening that, no matter what I had for dinner (within reason) I would not get a blood sugar spike from eating dinner and that is something I do recommend as regards when to use the lotion.
The main evidence of the efficacy of Ken's lotion is the two times that I spiked the blood sugar and brought it down, using his lotion, by close to 100 points!
I feel that I could duplicate that any time and get a similar result.
At the present time I am going to see the same doctor that I saw a bit over a month ago here in Austin who said that I could be non-diabetic in three months and tell him my story, show him my scores and see if he concurs that I have already achieved that destination.
