[QUOTE="diamondnostril, post: 788654, member: 63791"] Hi Susie . . . A couple of years ago I had a stage where my injected Insulin was seemingly having very little reaction on my blood-sugar levels. I was upping and upping my dosage, but this wasn't doing much. After some research, I decided on trying a magnesium supplement. Magnesium is an important mineral which is used by almost every biological reaction in the body, including the opening of the cell by the Insulin receptor to allow Glucose to enter. It may have been coincidence, of course. But I found that after I added a magnesium supplement to my diet, my blood-sugars reduced drastically. It seems that the Insulin was finally able to do its work. This may be a little out of "left field" but it's cheap, safe and easy to try (if you didn't already). I now try to get my magnesium from my diet, by choosing organic foods where possible (foods grown in soil that has not been stripped of all nutrients by modern farming methods and pesticides). But I know that budgets don't always allow this. Adding a Magnesium & Calcium supplement is a quick and easy thing to try, if only to rule it out. Hopefully this may be helpful for you . . .
