My Aunt is pre-diabetic so was wondering what the best supplements for her to take was to keep her blood glucose levels in the normal range.
I was thinking r-lipoic acid and Benfotiamine capsules several times a day but is there anything else worth taking?
Do these supplements interfere with prescription medication as she is on a hgh dose of statin drugs (the doctor has kept doubling the dose and she is now on 80mg per day). She is sort of a skeptic when it comes to health supplements ans was hard to convince her to try co-q10 (especially because she has been on statin drugs for many years). Can you believe after feeling really great and more energetic from the co-q10 she went and told her doctor about it and he said not to bother with those things as they are a waste of time and money. She is still taking the supplements but unfortunatly will probably keep the narrow minded moron of a doctor (I would have thought someone in his field would have known that statin drugs deplete co-q10 stores in the body and so should have recommended them in the first place).
So apart from r-lipoic acid and benfotiamine, what else can help?
