He had his assistant call me with the results, she told me that my a1c was normal and the doctor said on my next visit if it is still normal, I will not have to take the metformin either.

I have been on metaform tablets for 2 years now after being diagnosed as a diabetic when I suffered a heart attack.I am not on insulin. 8 months ago I suffered balanitis It used to come regularly every approx 12 hrs.My penis was very red & sore & had white things on it.The doctor prescribed tablets & anti fungal cream that seemed to have no effect whatsoever Approximately 1 month ago at a supermarket I bought & ate some bitter melon fruit.Not knowing it had any benefits?I then read about it being beneficial for diabetes. The pain seemed to go away so I told my family about it & didnt worry about it anymore. However after three days the balanitis came back!!!I went back to the doctor three months later asked if he could prescribe different tablets & cream.He prescribed the same tablets as before & sent me to a specialist who suggested I have a circumcision This scared the daylights out of me.But I remembered that the bitter melon i had taken 4 weeks prior seemed to nullify my pain considerably! What happens if I buy more So i went back to the shop & bought two fruits.After consuming these fruits over 4 days I noticed my pain had gone completely.The redness had disappeared there were no lumps.I am mixing these fruits now with other fruits eg apples watermelon tomatoes oranges etc because the taste is better.I am only eating the skin of the fruit.I thoroghly beleive this has completely cured me in 4 days & will continue take daily from now on? Who knows it may have also cured or helped cure my diabetes I am going back to the doctor for further blood tests in approx two weeks.The doctor did say he beleived the balanitis came from my diabetes & as it hadnt cured recommended a circumcision.
