[QUOTE="Tim55, post: 1036929, member: 186079"] Brief update, if anyone is interested. Every time I order ALA, the supplier recommends taking Acetyl -L - Carnitine with it. Having been somewhat encouraged by the ALA effects, this time I bought some of this as well, and I have been taking one per day alongside three x 250 mg ALA. I have felt improvements to my pain already and it has had a definite affect on my FBG levels. When I started with this my 16 day rolling average was running along fairly steadily at around 5.4, but since upping the dose and adding the Carnitine it has fallen in more or less a straight line to around 5.2, and it may yet continue to fall. The highest result I have seen is this mornings 5.7, but I only took 2 ALA yesterday, and the average of the 21 results I have seen since starting is 5.1. 71.4% of them are between 5.0 and 5.8, the remaining 28.6% being between 4.6 and 4.9.This compares to previous results where, of 437 results, 73.2% were between 5 and 5.9 and only 13.7% were below 5.0. Ok, I know its difficult to draw firm conclusions from such limited data, but it looks pretty encouraging to me :) [/QUOTE]
