I follow Bernstein but my blood sugars just don't go that low. Last A1c was June, 5.4. Too high for him but I'm OK with it. I tend to have 100-110 BS in am mid 80's otherwise. I take vitamin K2, Omega 3, E, magnesium, CoQ10, everything that you mentioned, including TMG. I could add pantethine, but Johnwen has mentioned in the past that he likes nitro. I find it very helpful, especially when I take it at the very first onset of pain. I take 60 mg in the am and 60 in the PM. The angina is from a heavy calcium plaque burden. Totaling around 1400 I think, and I have several known blockages. I do take argenine, too. And tart cherry in capsule form, as the extract has too many carbs per serving. I originally had an A1c of 11.8 on diagnosis, tried the diabetic medical treatment which made me very sick and my blood sugars were out of control. I switched to Atkins and in a week and a half my glucose stabilized and I was off metformin and glyburide. I was expecting the same turn around with PT, but it's not so speedy. I still think it is my best and only chance of surviving this CAD. I take 2 K2 daily, one in the am and one in the PM, with something fatty. Cheese or an almond milk with a splash of heavy whipping cream. I welcome advice, except as I have said in the past, the Esselstyn type...if it worked as Zarfas and Ken say, they would be doing it and would have been cured months ago and not needing this site. It's not a godsend for diabetics, especially the absolutely no fats or oils of Esselstyn. That would mean no Omega3, CoQ10, E or other oils. That's my rant about vegan, no oil. If others can use it successfully great, but it will not work for me and my Type 2. Many plants spike my blood sugar, and I've stopped fruit as well to comply with Bernstein. I appreciate your response, Owen. I'm not disappointed in PT, just know that the calcium burden and blockages are severely impeding progress.
