 Supplements, diabetic food +
poor circulation
Dietary supplements provide the essential nutrients that our
bodies need to function
properly.
Some are becoming
increasingly
recognised as
being beneficial for people with diabetes, with various studies showing they can assist in the management and treatment of diabetes.
Many supplements are intended to increase intake of vitamins and minerals.
A number of these vital nutrients are believed to have a significant effect on diabetes and some are known to play a role in treating or preventing diabetic complications.
One such mineral is chromium. This essential mineral is available as a dietary supplement and has been shown in various studies to have a positive effect on glucose tolerance and blood sugar metabolism in people with diabetes.

 EndoBarrier Therapy uses a medical device to decrease your blood sugar and body weight at
the same time without relying on medication.
It causes the release of
hormones that improve your
body's ability to control blood sugar and reduce your appetite.
Clinical studies have shown that 87% of patients are able to reach a normal blood sugar level and lose an average 18% of their total body weight by nine months,* which may lead to a reduction in diabetes medications and diabetes-related complications.

Video Guide: Diabetic food
There are no rules to govern what foods can be labelled as diabetic and even pure treacle could be labelled 'diabetic' if the manufacturer wished to.
