[QUOTE="alaska, post: 1777405, member: 14213"] I have tried CBD oil -for reasons other than diabetes- and I've found it's generally led to slightly lower blood sugar levels. Some background about how my levels are outside of using the oil: I tend to have quite brittle diabetes as a result of anxiety. I get quite pronounced swings in blood glucose from time to time, despite eating relatively low carbohydrate. Sometimes my levels are great, sometimes they're irritatingly high for a week or few. When using CBD oil: I haven't been using CBD oil for long and don't use it daily. When I have used it, I go for a decent dose of it. The upper limit recommended on the bottle/box. In the handful of times I've used it thus far, it seems to have been helpful for taking the edge off anxiety and increasing my world awareness (not overly caught in worries or threats), plus I have noticed a general trend towards better blood sugar when I have used the oil. As far as I'm concerned, the jury in my head is still deciding whether the CBD oil is having that effect itself or whether it has been a placebo effect. One can't really tell too easily :) Best wishes Ed Type 1 diabetes since Dec 1992 Multiple daily injections (very frequent injecting of small doses) Following relatively low carb diet (Under 100g carbs per day) [/QUOTE]
