@KevinPotts I'm interested in hearing what results you get. Also, if you come across any studies related to enzymes and type 2 diabetes, please post links here.
My sense is that if your pancreas is producing adequate enzymes, you won't notice a difference in blood glucose levels. That said, I think it's worth a 30 day trial, particularly for those of us who are older.
Looking around on Amazon, there's been quite a few books written on the health benefits of supplementing enzymes. This book, Enzyme Nutrition (1995) by Edward Howell looks interesting - ( https://www.amazon.com/Enzyme-Nutri...e=UTF8&qid=1465754090&sr=1-5&keywords=enzymes )...
"About the author
Dr. Edward Howell began his study of food enzymes more than eighty years ago. After receiving a medical license from the state of Illinois, he spent six years on the professional staff of the Lindlahr Sanitarium, a well-known “nature cure” hospital. In 1930, Dr. Howell established his own facility for the treatment of chronic ailments, utilizing nutritional and physical therapies. Until his retirement in 1970, Dr. Howell devoted his time to both his private practice and his food and soil enzyme research. He continued his writing and research efforts up until the time of his death in 1988."
I believe this book was condensed from the 700 page referenced work he spent 20 years writing, published in the 1940's.
When I began managing my blood glucose levels with the low carbohydrate ketogenic diet and walking in February 2015, I naively thought this would be a more straight forward process. I've made a lot of progress, but still have more to do as my blood glucose is not yet within the normal range. I continue to have more questions than answers.
As a type 3c I have to take replacement digestive enzymes Creon, it is a bit of hit and miss how much to take, it can cause gassy tummy. I turned to a vegetarian diet as eating meat is so **** hard. The most important thing to remember if you are having enzyme problems you will have vitamin and mineral problems, they 2 go hand in hand.
They stay on my intestins, cause pain and inflammation. We re not there yet with lipase and amalyse. I still have to see the pancreatic doc about that. It's not normal to lose exocrine function like that!
