Bediol (<a href="http://www.bedrocan.nl/english/products/bediol.html" target="_blank">http://www.bedrocan.nl/english/products/bediol.html</a>) which contains appr 6.3% THC and appr 8% CBD, would be available to UK users if the ban on importation was lifted. I have discussed my cannabis use with my diabetic doctor when attending clinics and the response i have received thus far is it cannot be controlled or regulated which is complete and utter nonsense. I personally feel that the issues regarding cannabis have always been directed at campaigns of scaremongering which has allowed pharmaceticals to maintain a massive cash cow from diabetic patients which generally increase overtime due to more and more insulin being needed, if this could help your body to stop attacking its own B cells would you not like to help your body help itself or would rather continue to replace what it fails to produce. a simple analogy to make this clearer is to look at your pancreas like a bathtub and your insulin as the water which fills that bathtub, if a bathtub has a hole in it would you continue to keep filling it with water as the hole grow's larger and larger or would you look to try and fix the hole. Im not saying that CBD will cure Diabetes but i have an overwhelming amount of scientific research to suggest that it may modulate your immune system in a way which slows down the attack of the b cells in your body allowing it a chance to repair itself somewhat and reduce the dependance on pharmaceutical medications which make your body feel like a machine rather than living breathing organism.</p></blockquote><p></p>
