Diabetes and Marijuana

Hey guys,

I've been a type 1 diabetic for 12 years now. Diabetes is not simply "he/she cant eat sugar". It requires steady control of sugar levels with regular testing and regular injections. I take 4 injections a day to keep my sugar level stable.

Later on in life complications can rise up. Losing kidneys, eye sight, getting nerve damage.

I read an article somewhere that marijuana was able to keep blood sugars stable, preventing high glucose spikes. It also helped blood flow around the body, especially to the legs and eyes which helps prevent complications.

Just thought it was interesting,

Sammy
