Guest guest Posted February 8, 2005 Report Share Posted February 8, 2005 How High Are Your Blood Sugar Levels?Diabetics face a variety of daily challenges, including regulating blood sugar levels. The following three supplements are ones I routinely recommend for people diagnosed with diabetes. Talk with your physician about the best way to integrate these into your overall diabetes treatment program. Chromium. A trace element that plays a role in blood-sugar regulation, chromium works with insulin to help transport glucose into cells. Take up to 1,000 micrograms of "GTF" chromium daily. Alpha lipoic acid. This antioxidant can enhance glucose uptake, inhibit glycosylation (the non-enzymatic attachment of sugar to protein), and help promote and maintain eye health. Start with 100 mg a day. Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10). Diabetes carries an increased risk of cardiovascular disease, and this powerful antioxidant helps maintain a healthy heart. Take 60-100 mg of a softgel form of CoQ10 with your largest meal. Want more diabetes information? Visit DrWeil.com.

Don't take things too seriously - live a life of serenity, not a life of regrets. -Unknown Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
