From: Mikael on 11 Oct 2005 22:09 I have been reading that some nutritional supplements such as Bitter Melon, Chromium, Zinc, and so on are good for bringing down glucose numbers. I am thinking of trying Bitter Melon. Has any one else had success with supplements? I am open to suggestions and advice. Thank you.

I've had very good results with alpha lipoic acid for peripheral neuropathy reversal. Chromium has been shown in many clinical studies to aid in glucose control, too. I'd avoid the picolinate form, though, in favor of GTF. Susan

Bitter Melon works for me, but it is not something I would take on an every day basis. After reading about it, I am not convinced that it is safe to take. I only take it when I have high numbers for no apparent reason and I can't get them down any other way. -- See my webpage: http://mysite.verizon.net/juliebove/index.htm
