Scientists Found The 3 Most Powerful Supplements for Type 2 Diabetes
Notes de l’épisode
👉 Thorne Alpha Lipoic Acid, for burning, tingling or numbness in your hands and feet. 300 mg a capsule, so two gets you to the 600 used in the research:

If your blood sugar keeps creeping up no matter how carefully you eat, you are not out of options. Dr. G walks through three supplements that have actually been tested in people with type 2 diabetes, including one that went head to head with metformin, and gives you the honest numbers on each.
He covers what that metformin study really was and the part the headlines left out, why the magnesium most people already own is barely absorbed, the proprietary blend problem that leaves you taking a supplement that never had the dose in it, and how a dysregulated nervous system can push your blood sugar past 200 without you eating a thing.
Berberine has the most research. Magnesium matters most if you're actually low. Alpha lipoic acid supports your nerves. Your food, your movement, your sleep and your stress are still the foundation.
