[QUOTE="Tophat1900, post: 1773837, member: 362123"] I googled "ubiquinol impact on blood glucose in t2dm, studies" and went from there. Here's an example. That's pretty much my standard search method to start with and then work from there. [URL]https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4939545/[/URL] I don't know how much you could or should be taking. I've taken it for about 10 yrs. I found 800mg per day, spread out over breakfast, lunch, dinner and before bed in doses of 200mg worked great. I had tried 1200mg a day, and even though I was taking prednisone, and do so everyday, I found this much could cause me to become hypoglycemic over night and sometimes before lunch. The impact is very impressive for me, but may not help some people at all. There are risks involved that have to be explored and possibly interactions. In particular if blood thinners are taken. A lot of search results I read showed no effect on bg levels, but these were using small doses of coq10 and not the more better absorbed Ubiquinol and also age factors into which form works best.

I can't suggest what is a safe dose to use because I think it varies from person to person. [/QUOTE]
