[QUOTE="Oldvatr, post: 2305544, member: 196898"] I second the need for Potassium should only be undertaken with doctor supervision since hyperkalemia is harmful and potentially lethal. The taking of B12 and D3 is also only needed if you are deficient. Typically it is advised for anyone using a Plant Based diet since these are not easily sourced from it, Also may be necessary for those of us using Metformin long term since Met can block absorption from food. Magnesium is used by our cells to metabolise the glucose from the blood, and is essential, but most western style diets will include sufficient, and deficiencies are not common. Supplementation only has an effect if there is deficiency, and normally we excrete excess naturally - may be able to save money there. Magnesium would drop bgl levels, not raise them. Magnesium Supplements should be the chelated form of magnesium and many commercial products are not in a form to be absorbed by us anyway. I suspect the cold as being the cause of higher than usual bgl, since most of those in your list would tend to lower the sugar levels, not raise them. Infections and inflammations and stress tends to raise adrenaline levels, and this increases Insulin Resistance by blocking insulin from storing glucose away in the body so it remains in the blood.
