1.I would try to stock up on any meds I could.
2.Find an alternative to your meds you could still access.
A few things you may not know
Try lots of onion and garlic in your diet.Just do not breath on me k?
Allium cepa: (onion)
Various ether soluble fractions as well as insoluble fractions of dried onion powder show anti-hyperglycemic activity in diabetic rabbits.
Allium cepa is also known to have antioxidant and hypolipidaemic activity. Administration of a sulfur containing amino acid from
Allium cepa, S-methyl cysteine sulphoxide (SMCS) (200 mg/kg for 45 days) to alloxan induced diabetic rats significantly controlled blood glucose as well as lipids in serum and tissues and normalized the activities of liver hexokinase, glucose 6-phosphatase and HMG Co A reductase [
18,
19]. When diabetic patients were given single oral dose of 50 g of onion juice, it significantly controlled post-prandial glucose levels [
20].
Allium sativum: (garlic)
This is a perennial herb cultivated throughout the world. Allicin, a sulfur-containing compound is responsible for its pungent odour and it has been shown to have significant hypoglycemic activity [
21]. This effect is thought to be due to increased hepatic metabolism, increased insulin release from pancreatic beta cells and/or insulin sparing effect [
22]. Aqueous homogenate of garlic (10 ml/kg/day) administered orally to sucrose fed rabbits (10 g/kg/day in water for two months) significantly increased hepatic glycogen and free amino acid content, decreased fasting blood glucose, and triglyceride levels in serum in comparison to sucrose controls [
23].
S-allyl cystein sulfoxide (SACS), the precursor of allicin and garlic oil, is a sulfur containing amino acid, which controlled lipid peroxidation better than glibenclamide and insulin. It also improved diabetic conditions. SACS also stimulated
in vitro insulin secretion from beta cells isolated from normal rats [
24]. Apart from this,
Allium sativum exhibits antimicrobial, anticancer and cardioprotective activities.
