Hi I was wondering if anybody was using CBD in any form not just Gummies which I am thinking of trying. I am worried they may well affect my blood sugars sorry, I have tried them and they do seem to have increased mine despite increasing my insulin, anyone else? experience this and had no problems. Mind you they do not seem to have cured my pains, but maybe need to increase the dose so anybody else’s comments would be welcome
 
A former member who lived with Parkinson’s found CBD oil helpful.

He hasn’t been on the forum for a few years now, but wrote a little about it here

Post in thread 'CBD oil and type 2 diabetes'

I use 10% CBD oil, drops under the tongue. I use it for muscle spasm, and it works in seconds. It works directly on cannabinoid receptors in the brain and muscles, so as back pain is neuromuscular I see no reason for not giving it a go. The lower strengths aren't quite sufficient. It's the lower strength that you see in pharmacies.

Always get your CBD oil from a reputable supplier online. I use Healthspan, but others are available. Expect to pay around £50 for a bottle, but that will last you a month or more.

There are no side effects, and it has no effect on Diabetes or other...

I did try CBD cream, and I think he also sold me a spray of CBD a few years ago
before I had ankle surgery (had surgery in May23)
at the time i was in pain and obviously hobbling a bit I had at the time, had PTOA post trauma osteoarthritis
I’m still unsure if CBD actually helped, but the guy who I know as a good friend and many years ago I was his boss, sold me the stuff and he swears by it
he sells all sorts of supplements from his vape shop, his latest thing is CBD & mushroom coffees
TBH I don’t think for me CGD helped really, and I haven’t tried the coffees
