Try Chromium GTF and Vanadium. Magnesium, Zinc are also good ones.

What benefits does Metformin have? All the supplements I listed can be eaten by non diabetics. Theres no way you can take metformin if your a non diabetic. ALA is also good supplement, have u tried it? Is it really better than chromium GTF?!?!?! I do get that for some people, they NEED insulin...

Yea I am not saying do all of them. Like some of those aren't even supplements like Apple Cider Vinegar, Bittermelons, Ceylon Cinnamon, Resistant starch can be obtained from cooling cooked beans/legumes/lentils. Maitake mushrooms you can consume. I would personally take supplements over...

Nope, but, my friend is and we used to talk about this a lot. But, I am a big time health nut, I basically eat the same thing every day ( Very easy to make diet consisting of Beans (Sprouted sometimes cooked sometimes with stuff like peppers and spices, few nuts, vegan protein powder and big...

Not every information out there which is mainstream is right. Hopefully at least one person on the forum has tried some one of those supplements instead of meds. Most people just call you "Quacks" when you say stuff like this but, when you see most Doctors out they only get about "On average...

I have a question for you. Lets assume your a young person in ur 20's right? And as you said you take no meds all by diet and lifestyle. Now if you continue eating and living the same lifestyle in your 40's and 60's will you eventually need to start taking meds or supplements or start exercising...

You'd prefer to take meds over taking those supplements?

Let's say you get a pancreas transplant will that fix someones diabetes, assuming its compatible and stuff? Yes I know diabetes is not just a pancreatic problem, it could be the liver or kidneys. Assume we replace a new one of the organs which is causing problem in the person. Would that person...

I recommend eating vegan and a low healthy carb diet. (Yeah you can have low carbs but, if the quality of carbs is bad then it's not improving your overall health) I would say to overall increase in every aspect possible and start exercising more. At the end of the day, eating less is actually...

Wait so most people on here who are type 2 and not on meds ARE NON VEG? Yeah... I don't think that's a good idea. The repeating thing I see on this forum a lot is "low carb and high fat". Why don't people focus on actually eating more healthy? Instead of eating better foods they tend to focus...

Okay so lets say if you have type 2 diabetes, and people saying how low carb is effective (I am not denying this) but, what if instead of going low carb, you just worked out more? Would this change anything?

Yes but, in order to grow wouldn't you need more calories? For type 2 diabetes is it just bad to get high carbs but, you can have high calorie?!? Btw: Are Complex Carbs from foods such as beans also bad??

It's complicated. Is it required to choose? What if I am no diagnosed but, I think I have type 2? I don't want to go in this too much.

How do you know hes not on juice? 2ndly it would be pretty hard to do a ketogenic diet if your a vegan and bulk on top of that. What are your guys thoughts on bulking with just beans and almond milk? But, beans have carbs so idk how that would work.

What are some good sources of protein which have low carb? (Don't tell me any meats or anything, I am vegan)
