Products I like to use

Chromium – for carb and fat metabolism 25 – 200mcg per day as chromium picolante

Magnesium – high magnesium intake reduces diabetic risk by 47% (fish, dark chocolate, bananas, avocados) or Epsom Salt Baths.

Berberine – herb used to treat diabetes in Chinese medicine for centuries by enhancing the breakdown of carbs 1500mg per day in 3 x 500mg doses before meals

Cinnamon  – decreases insulin resistance at a cellular level 1-6g per day or ½ - 2 tsps

IMPORTANT NOTE: It must be True or Ceylon cinnamon and NOT Cassia or Saigon as this contains coumarin in high levels which can damage the liver in those taking liver affecting drugs – statins, acetaminophen (paracetamol) and diabetics.
