As I work through the protocol with him I'll keep you in mind ginganinja. This is advanced healing 101 in my book. To my knowledge a successful administration of cannabis to manage diabetes hasn't been developed yet. If so, they're keeping it to themselves. In the end it's all basic biology.
Your medical team will overwhelm you with information on nutritional and lifestyle changes geared to maintaining good glucose control. Take all of their advice to heart. I advise you right now to read my thread on supporting the ECS without cannabis. The three easiest things you can do to support the ECS is to start taking at least 1000 units of omega-3 supplements to give the body the building blocks for endocannabinoid creation, a probiotic with at least 50 billion cultures to reestablish a gut flora capable of eliminating inflammation from the digestive atmosphere and thereby reducing the opportunity for disease to progress, and a magnesium supplement.
Consistently supplying these basic components to your daily protocol will do more than anything else to advance homeostasis other than keeping a positive image in your mind of yourself healthy and whole as a roadmap for the ECS to follow. Remember that over 90% of doctors in the US don't even know we have an ECS, so hoping they know how to augment its restoration is like spitting in the wind. It'll be your job to teach them.
You should be using cannabis in some form every day. I warn you, eventually I'm going to advise you try cannabis oil suppositories to increase the cannabinoid values of your administered doses beyond what euphoric levels your body would normally be able to tolerate. By the time diabetes is diagnosed extensive systemic damage has occurred and rebuilding will take time. Healing at the cellular level will always require more time.
Complications of diabetes took my beloved's life. Had I know 20 years ago what I know now about the ECS and its healing potential he might well be sleeping beside me this morning a vibrant and healthy man. We'll never know, and I believe all things happen in their right time, but still, one has to wonder how many of us have to die early of painful maladies when this plant has the potential to help us heal from these diseases. When I consider the money we might not be putting into the health care structure for testing and medications that complicate more than they heal.......... I suddenly realize why we're still fighting for the basic human right to grow and administer herbal cures.
Hi Sue
Thank you so much again for keeping me in mind along with your BIL. I'm all good with being a guinea pig for some healing experimentation ..
I have always had a holistic approach to wellbeing in my life and have been a huge advocate for it.
When I'm at home I usually have a omega 3 supplement and I use homemade magnesium oil as a natural deodorant so I will pick up some probiotics to complete the 3 ..
I usually use a vape and a pipe every day at home but I've not been able to have any cannabis for 4 weeks now as I'm in hospital and the doctors here are still way behind the times with our lovely green medicine ., hopefully not for too much longer.
The UK are still being majorly hypocritical as they have a government backed pharmaceutical company developing and using cannabis based medicine, (not whole plant), yet still have cannabis legally classed as having no medical benefit and a class B drug along with amphetamines, barbiturates and ketamine.
Once I get my grow going I'm looking to eventually be able to produce enough for myself for capsules and edibles or suppositories. I'm not shy about administration methods so no worries there ..
I feel for your loss Sue and it breaks my heart at how many of our loved ones could have helped if only a small fraction of the resources of big pharma were put into cannabinoids research.
It feels like it's a life
mission for me now to be a part of the learning process into this amazing plant.
With dedicated people like yourself Sue and everyone else here on 420, we will continue the fight and I know we will change the system for the benefit of all.
...
There must be something to what Sue said about the body guiding us to what we need. 
I'll be back later with the weekly update. 
Her leaves have this roughness to them that adds to that rebel feel she's sporting.
