Does anyone have borderline Type 2 diabetes. Do you take any supplements that help

@bigjohnscho
You would benefit from seeing a registered dietitian to review diet and supplements to recommend changes. I take alpha Lipoic acid, magnesium and Acetyl l carnitine for small fiber neuropathy and it helps.
My understanding is alpha Lipoic acid also helps with sugar sensitivity (I am also prediabetic and my mom had type 2 diabetes so I am at risk).

My neuropathy has made quite an impact on my life, I choose however not to let it dominate my life. I have currently taken my cane out for its second walk hurting my pride but better that and falling and hurting my body. This may be pie in the sky, but I have started to use a large fan to cool me down to just about this side of comfortable with being cold ,prior to cooling down my legs felt stiff and I felt generally exhausted having cool down. I am walking better and don’t feel quite so exhausted. Don’t raise any flags yet as this may just be a coincidence, but I keep on trying and I think I probably always will keep up the fight. Don’t give in Margaret.
