[QUOTE="Indy51, post: 973758, member: 48386"] I think supplements are like anything else, you won't know if they work for you until you try them. We all seem to have highly individualised reactions to anything we ingest, supplement or medication. It's your money and if you want to try it, go right ahead. Even if it's a placebo effect, who cares except the purists? I agree with the others about not getting too hung up on a higher fasting if your post prandial levels are good. Here are a couple of links about physiological insulin resistance: [URL]http://www.marksdailyapple.com/do-low-carb-diets-cause-insulin-resistance/#axzz3p9QG2rJD[/URL] [URL]http://www.marksdailyapple.com/does-eating-low-carb-cause-insulin-resistance/#axzz3p9QG2rJD[/URL] Still, been there and when my fasting levels kept increasing and went above my 7.8 danger zone, I decided to try intermittent fasting and it worked for me. I rarely go above 5.5 these days :) If you haven't seen the intermittent fasting thread, you can find it here: [URL]http://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/threads/fasting-for-type-2s.73800/[/URL] [/QUOTE]
