New hope comes fron Thailand now. They use thai traditional medicine and they have amazing results with diabetes type 1/2 and chronic kidney failure. You can see many testimonies on youtube: search "vilac plus" and you will see!

I was diagnosed at 30. Symptoms were very extreme thirst, blurry vision(could no longer see 2 ft in front of me),extreme fatigue, wet the bed 2 nights in a row(like a freakin kid),urinated razors(urinary tract infection).Went to ER after amonth of this, hospitalized 4 days. Blood glucose was over 700. If u have these go get checked out.
