[QUOTE="Winnie53, post: 1924258, member: 160246"] [USER=494876]@jeffreyman777[/USER] I came here to grab a link to share with an acquaintance who has been diagnosed with hypoglycemia. Saw your question and agree with everyone's responses whole heartedly. When members of our diabetes group come to us with diabetic complications, I immediately encourage them to get started on a good quality B-complex and 600 mg alpha lipoic acid daily initially. Once they're better they can then switch to a good quality multi-vitamin with minerals supplement, D3, K2 (MK-7), and minerals as needed.

One member of our group benefits from taking potassium but I can't remember why. Sorry. If diabetic complications return, I'd resume taking the B-complex and alpha lipoic acid. If inflammation is an issue, I suggest adding a good quality turmeric (curcumin) supplement. This is all done of course with a healthy low carb diet, regular exercise, quality and adequate sleep, and stress management. It takes time to build all these healthy routines into our lives, how long varies. Be kind to yourself.
