I didn’t even know I had a blood sugar problem.
I wasn’t overweight. I ate pretty healthy. And yet… I was constantly tired.
Like, deep fatigue.
The kind that makes you stare at your screen without blinking.
The kind that makes getting off the couch feel like a chore.
Then came the brain fog. I’d forget words mid-sentence.
Random dizziness after meals.
And a doctor visit that ended with:
“You’re in the pre-diabetic range. It’s time to make some changes.”
I went down the rabbit hole.
Cut carbs.
Drank bitter teas.
Tried walking after every meal.
Nothing really helped. My numbers would drop a little, then spike back up again the next week.
It felt like I was constantly playing defense — never in control.
Then one night, I saw the weirdest thing.
A medical video featuring a Harvard-trained doctor, talking about a strange trick involving something called:
“Gin-soaked candy”.
Yeah, I laughed too.
But the way he explained it actually made sense — how certain bitter plant compounds could help “flush out” sugar buildup from the blood, support insulin sensitivity, and even restore energy levels.
It wasn’t a fad diet.
It wasn’t some overnight fix.
It was just… different.
So I tried it.
Not expecting much.
But by day 3, I felt noticeably better.
By day 7, my energy was back.
And after two weeks, my fasting blood sugar dropped almost 20 points — and stayed there.
No crashes. No fog. No more dragging myself through the day.
Final Thoughts
I’m not saying this is a miracle. But it was the first time something actually worked without flipping my entire life upside down.
If you’re dealing with stubborn blood sugar — the kind that doesn’t seem to listen to what you eat or how much you walk — this might be worth a look.
