Linda This info I learned from Don Colbert, M.D., author of the "Bible Cure"Book Series. Diabetes is NOT a hopeless life sentence to deterioratinghealth! The good news is that you can battle it - and WIN, for a long,productive life! Here's some vitamins & supplements you should use asa WEAPON to WIN THE FIGHT!===================================CHROMIUMResearch suggests that our bodies require certain nutrients for normalblood sugar and insulin absorption. Chromium is one of thosenutrients. Chromium actually helps to increase the efficiency ofinsulin; it allows insulin to more effectively transport the glucoseinto the cells.ALPHA-LIPOIC ACIDALA is a very powerful antioxidant. Lipoic acid may also help to lowerblood sugar, especially when in combination with chromium. However, ifyou're taking diabetic medications, you should monitor your blood sugarclosely since lipoic acid and chromium are able to lower blood sugarquite significantly.VITAMIN E and VITAMIN CAntioxidants are extremely important in all diabetics. Vitamin Eimproves the action of insulin and thus helps to lower the blood sugar.
