these two didn't help me , but give it a try. Chromium Picolinate (200mg) and Alpha Lipoic Acid (600mg)
As for the rest of you regimen , here's the inside scoop.
There are 4 key steps to controlling glucose levels.
Here are the 4 keys:
1) Knowledge- http://www.phlaunt.com/diabetes/index.ph… This is a great site for info
2) Meds. Metformin to start. Never , ever take Actos or Avandia. They may kill you. Bone fractures, heart problems and what diabetics really don't need is that they change Bone Stem Cells to Fat Cells.
3)diet- A low carb diet is in order. I can't count carbs so I use Mendosa's Glycemic Index Diet. Great for the whole family. http://www.mendosa.com/gilists.htm
4) EXERCISE- Walking is fine but Nordic Walking is Great. Exercise also lowers Glucose levels , lowers Cholesterol and lowers Blood Pressure. Google it.
Don't forget the exercise. With the above you may also , one day , if you do the exercise daily, be able to come of some of your diabetic Medicines.
Do it , it works.
Good luck , take care
