Natural Diabetes
Treatment Should Include Vitamins
Ten essential diabetes treatment
vitamins named by online reviewer
Natural treatments for diabetes should
include a range of vitamins, supplements and herbal remedies,
according to My Vitamin Guide, an online reviewer of such
treatments.
MVG reports that 10 nutritional supplements and herbs
received its highest three-star rating after a review of
scientific tests showed a substantial health benefit for people
with Type 2 diabetes. Furthermore, six of these ten supplements
and herbs received the same three-star rating for use with type
1 diabetes. These ten supplements, listed on the website at
MyVitaminGuide.com/public/641.cfm , include:
- Alpha Lipoic Acid
- Brewer’s yeast
- Chromium
- Evening primrose oil
- Fiber
- Glucomannan
- Magnesium
- Cayenne (topical for neuropathy)
- Fenugreek (seeds)
- Psyllium
“We’re pleased to offer diabetics, including those with both
type 1 diabetes and type 2 diabetes, credible information about
natural treatments they can incorporate into their care,” said
MVG CEO Sam Knoll.
“Our information comes from experts in the fields of medicine,
pharmacy, nursing, naturopathic, and public health, and from
over 500 prominent medical journals, and is consistent with
advice offered by the American Diabetes Association,” he
said.
My Vitamin Guide’s diabetes section recommends that people who
are experiencing diabetes symptoms should focus on self-care,
including these first steps:
- Eat high-fiber foods - Stabilize blood sugar by eating fiber
from whole grains, beans (legumes), vegetables and fruit, and
consider using a fiber supplement such as glucomannan or
psyllium
- Slim down - Lose weight with a long-term program of exercise
and healthier eating to improve insulin sensitivity
- Check out chromium - Taking 200 to 500 mcg a day may improve
glucose tolerance
- Improve and protect with alpha lipoic acid - Take 600 to
1,200 mg a day to improve insulin sensitivity and help protect
against diabetic complications such as nerve damage
- Use capsaicin ointment - An ointment containing .025 percent
to .075 percent capsaicin four times a day might help control
nerve pain
MVG’s extensive coverage of diabetes mellitus, diabetes
symptoms, and recommended diabetes treatment and diabetes care
