[QUOTE="Lucie75, post: 339763, member: 23580"] Thanks for this. I have started taking a daily supplement of 10mg zinc, with vitamin C (as your body cannot absorb Vit C without zinc). One of the reasons I've decided to start this is because my immune system doesn't appear to exist at the moment, and I've been rubbish at fighting off even common colds for the last couple of years. I'm not going to take any chances with any higher a dose as you can easily take too much and this also has side effects. I'll definitely be researching this a bit more though as I've read that zinc can also help to lower cholesterol, and as mine has risen in the last year quite considerably I'm interested in reducing it again, with the help of a healthier diet too. As diabetics have a higher risk of heart disease etc I'll be doing all I can to lower my risk. I'd be interested to hear about the apparent effects on your bg later down the line! Many thanks, Lucie [/QUOTE]
