Even though Biter Melon and other natural remedies my have some effect they will never be a replacement for the insulin you have to take. The bottom line is your body needs a source of insulin to survive. A lot of the natural diabetic remedies work in a similar method to meds like Metformin in that they stop your blood taking up as much glucose as it normally would but there is no way they will ever be a replacement for a T1's insulin or equivalently the insulin that T2's do produce themselves. In most T2 diabetics it is a problem called insulin resistance that is the issue not that T2's don't produce insulin such as happens in T1.</blockquote>
