Vitamin Expert Q: I have been diagnosed as pre-diabetic. My fasting blood sugar is 110 and I do not want to become diabetic. What can I do? A: Change your diet to a lower carb diet, avoid sweets, and exercise more. There are some great herbal/vitamin supplements that make a big difference. Look for one that provides 500 to 1000mcg of chromium, Gymnema, and alpha lipoic acid. We carry one called Glucoset. Also consider herb: Hintonia latiflora. It has been clinically studied in Europe for over 60 years in type 2 diabetes and has shown impressive results: lower AlC by 10%, lower fasting blood sugar by 23%, and reduced medication use in 39% of patients. Some patients actually got off their medications. Hitonia can be found in a supplement by the name of Sucontral D. Brian King, R. PH.
