I have read about the latest supplements but not tried much of them. My Endocrinologist keeps recommending Vitamin D even in the winter when I can't get much sun unless I go to Florida. Calcium is also important if you don't eat much dairy. The most common recommendations are cinnamon on your oatmeal, which I buy the expensive stuff from Vietnam because it is supposed to be better. I also put it on my no-sugar applesauce. If your AIC stays that low, congratulations and you have no worries about diabetes, I think, if you follow a low carb diet and exercise and feel very good. For other supplements, I look at my blood tests and see if the report shows anything low or too high, and go by that report. I keep copies of my blood tests at home so I can check my diet and stay as balanced as possible. I don't worry about supplements for diabetes because I don't think they produce any miracles for keeping blood sugar levels normal. My motto is that pills are not necessarily the solution. It is the diet and exercise and stress control that makes for success. Boy, I still miss those cinnamon rolls with butter in the morning, but they are not part of my life anymore. My granddaughter is planning to have ice cream at her wedding reception and I am looking forward to that next summer. Try to think about having normal health now and not being diseased. And don't go back to your old ways of eating. I am missing the fresh tomatoes already this winter. Congratulation on your tremendous success and keep up the good work. Dorisena
