What supplements are good for you as a diabetic?

Posted by kateia @kateia, Nov 13, 2019

I have been working really hard to get my A1C number down since diagnosed. 10.1 at diagnosis - last week 5.8 . I've been really watching what I eat, writing items down and exercising. I now want to start adding supplements that may help. One of those suggested is berberine. What is the best source to purchase it and how much do I take? i've read a little about it, but can't always believe what I read on facebook.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Diabetes & Endocrine System Support Group.

Hi @kateia I'd like to offer these few resources as you look for more information on supplements.

First, from the NIH here is a webpage discussing supplements and diabetes: https://nccih.nih.gov/health/diabetes/supplements

Secondly, here is general information about the use of supplements from mayo Clinic Health System: https://mayoclinichealthsystem.org/hometown-health/speaking-of-health/supplements-what-you-need-to-know

@dorisena brings up some great points about sticking to your diet and exercise routine, that I see you are already doing. Have you had a chance to discuss this with your doctor? What have they recommended?

Hi I am new to the discussion but was wondering if anyone had heard of or used a product name GLYC Fix which is suppose to have been clinically tested for helping lower AC level for pre-diabetes and diabetes. Any advice on this product?
