My Vitamin Guide (MVG), an online review of vitamins, supplements, herbal remedies and alternative medicine, today announced the addition of an enhanced diabetes section to its website.
MVG provides free information on vitamins and supplements as well as resources, news, advice and content from medical professionals on more than 650 health concerns and illnesses.
MVG reports that 10 nutritional supplements and herbs received its highest three-star rating after a review of scientific tests showed a substantial health benefit for people with Type 2 diabetes. Furthermore, six of these ten supplements and herbs received the same three-star rating for use with type 1 diabetes. These ten supplements, listed on the website at MyVitaminGuide.com/public/641.cfm , include:
- Alpha Lipoic Acid
- Brewer’s yeast
- Chromium
- Evening primrose oil
- Fiber
- Glucomannan
- Magnesium
- Cayenne (topical for neuropathy)
- Fenugreek (seeds)
- Psyllium
“We’re pleased to offer diabetics, including those with both type 1 diabetes and type 2 diabetes, credible information about natural treatments they can incorporate into their care,” said MVG CEO Sam Knoll.
“Our information comes from experts in the fields of medicine, pharmacy, nursing, naturopathic, and public health, and from over 500 prominent medical journals, and is consistent with advice offered by the American Diabetes Association,” he said.
My Vitamin Guide’s diabetes section recommends that people who are experiencing diabetes symptoms should focus on self-care, including these first steps:
- Eat high-fiber foods - Stabilize blood sugar by eating fiber from whole grains, beans (legumes), vegetables and fruit, and consider using a fiber supplement such as glucomannan or psyllium
- Slim down - Lose weight with a long-term program of exercise and healthier eating to improve insulin sensitivity
- Check out chromium - Taking 200 to 500 mcg a day may improve glucose tolerance
- Improve and protect with alpha lipoic acid - Take 600 to 1,200 mg a day to improve insulin sensitivity and help protect against diabetic complications such as nerve damage
- Use capsaicin ointment - An ointment containing .025 percent to .075 percent capsaicin four times a day might help control nerve pain
MVG’s extensive coverage of diabetes mellitus, diabetes symptoms, and recommended diabetes treatment and diabetes care include a complete diabetes “health center” found at MyVitaminGuide.com/public/394.cfm, in addition to comprehensive articles on type 1 diabetes found at MyVitaminGuide.com/public/640.cfm and type 2 diabetes found at MyVitaminGuide.com/public/641.cfm .
