Hello all. Ive just begun supplementing with Vit B3 because of stiff knuckle joints. Its supposed to help arthritis. My BS dropped from a good 4.9 before breakky to 2.8 an hour later. Low Carb breakfast of course, less than 10gms carbs. I've been T1 since 1984 when it showed up after a nasty flu. Been on injections/pump ever since.
I know some forms of Vit B3 will increase BS for T2's but I need to hear from other T1's who may have experienced this phenomena. Research says it is being used for prediabetes, preventing it developing further. I also found a, very old, study claiming that young people newly diagnosed, in India, were given a high dose of Vit B3 and cured. Some sneaky little parasite got into their pancreas and caused diabetes.
If anybody has feedback on the metabolics and effects of this Vitamin, I'd be glad to hear. Regrowing a couple of Beta Cells or an entire Islets of Langerhans would, for me, be a fun past time.
Cheers
