Are these really worth buying and has anyone had any luck with them getting rid of neuropathy symptoms? Should I consult the Dr before buying any?
It reduces blood sugars, so best taken with a meal.
The first time I took a 300Mg tablet (which I got from Amazon) it was on an empty stomach and I got a headache and felt very tired. After a rest and some food I then felt very energised. Subsequently, I always took it with food and have never had a headache since.I haven't noticed a reduction in mine on 300mg. The tub says to take it with food. However, from what I have read only around 30-40% gets absorbed, more than that if taken on an empty stomach. I am taking it with food but am wondering about changing.
Good to know, I'll keep taking it with food!! And yes, loads of energy.

They are water soluable so good either way. However if you want them to reduce your insulin need. Insulin is only triggered by food. I'd stick with with food.I haven't noticed a reduction in mine on 300mg. The tub says to take it with food.

It will reduce your Insulin need @Kristin251 so becareful and expect a hypo if you haven't reduced yours. ♡♥♡I just started. Taking it 3 days ago and already see a difference. I'm not good with supps so I started slow. First day 200 mg as I bought it late in the day 100x 2 and so far 100 today. My feet are better but not gone ( little too soon for that) my vision and menatal clarity are better as well. My energy has sky rocketed. I feel like a drank a pot a espresso. So today I split the pills and will take 50 mg every two hours. I seriously felt like I was going to fly out of my shoes!! But I got loads done that I've been too lazy to do. It's supposed to be so good for everything.
I haven't noticed a reduction in bs either but I have been taking it with meals to avoid any potential nausea but none so far.

I'm wondering too. I bought 100 mg so maybe I could take 1 with bf, 1 in between and 1 with lunchI haven't noticed a reduction in mine on 300mg. The tub says to take it with food.

Do you notice energy and afraid to take it too late in the day in fear of insomnia?
I took one with half an avocado at bf, Then 2.5 hours later one without food and no headache, nausea etc.I take mine at lunch time (300mg) and have now started another 300mg at evening meal (take it about 7-15pm) I wasn't having a great energy boost on 300mg. I was just happy it helped my foot tingling. I'll see how the evening one goes, but it would take a nuclear bomb to give me insomnia! I don't have breakfast except coffee and cream and haven't tried one at that time.
What's the thump?I'm trying this to see if it will help with 'The Thump' which I used to get decades ago and has returned with a vengeance now. I think it is a drop in BG due to some sensitivity to insulin returning whilst I am still overproducing.
For a little while I have been noticing how my energy levels drop with a bang in the middle to late afternoons - it used to happen when I was in my teens and twenties - so much so that I now wonder if I was going hypoglycaemic.What's the thump?
