It has not been proven either way. Many diabetics swear they help them manage their blood sugar levels which is a critical part of managing diabetes.

Supplements have not been thoroughly tested as have most medications, but I have included a list of the most popular ones and the value they provide to someone with diabetes. Click Here!

1. Chromium is recommended as the essential trace mineral to lower blood sugar levels. It is noted as the supplement that enhances the body's sensitivity to insulin for sugar and fat metabolism and facilitates insulin's ability to get glucose into the cells.
2. Vanadium is an essential trace mineral touted by some as the single most effective weapon to lower blood sugar levels for those with diabetes.
3. Magnesium is a mineral recommended for those with low levels of magnesium. Low levels of magnesium is associated with higher blood sugar levels.

These are three of the supplements recommended for those with diabetes who have difficulty maintaining low blood sugar levels. As always, I would suggest anyone who is considering taking supplements as an aid to improving control of their diabetes, check with their physician first. If you are on prescribed medications, it is imperative you check with your physician first! Any supplement can interact with your prescribed medications, as well as, other supplements. Click Here!

What Causes Diabetes? Will You Be A Victim?

Ask any doctor. No one seems to know what causes diabetes. They know why you have it, but not what causes it.

They know your pancreas has either stopped producing insulin or your body does not use the insulin properly. However, they do not know why this has happened to you. Why did your pancreas stop producing insulin? No one knows. Why is your body not using the insulin properly? No one knows.

Everyone can guess at the answer to these questions, but they do not really know. In the end it does not matter. What matters is you have diabetes if your body quits producing insulin or it does not properly use the insulin that is produced.

Type I diabetes is the kind a person has if they are born and their pancreas fails to work. No one knows why that happens either, but that is another story.

One thing for certain if this happens to you, you will be diagnosed as a diabetic if you cannot do something to make your body use what insulin it is producing. If the pancreas is not producing any insulin, then you have to take medications or shots that give you the insulin you need.

Glucose furnishes energy to our cells. Insulin in the blood helps the glucose get into the cells. When you eat, the body transforms all sugars and starches into glucose. Insulin is necessary for the body to be able to use glucose for energy. When you eat food, the body breaks down all of the sugars and starches into glucose. If the glucose does not get to the cells it builds up in the blood and urine. Your cells become starved for energy and your blood sugar levels become elevated. Thus, you have Type II diabetes.

Could this be happening to you? No doubt about it! It can happen to anyone if the pancreas stops producing insulin or the body stops utilizing the insulin efficiently. You could be the next victim!
