Topic of the discussion
I was diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes in 2007, and I have been reading about it ever since. One of the topics of interest are the possibility of the following over-the-counter supplements can lower blood glucose values : Cinnamon, Bitter Melon, Resveratrol and Magnesium. You can find additional information in the article that can be found at
https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/blood-sugar-supplements
Has anyone tried any of these supplements and did you notice any change in your blood glucose values?

Hi members, I hope you do not mind me tagging you in this discussion, but it seems interesting in the information @Mathgrad97 presented.
Has anyone tried Cinnamon, Bitter Melon, Resveratrol or Magnesium to help manage/control their diabetes/blood glucose levels? Did you notice any changes in your blood glucose levels?
I AVE FOUND OUT SINCE I AM TYPE 2, THAT THE KEY FORME, IS A BALANCED DIET I EAT BASICALLY THE SAME THING PRETTY MUCH AND THAT CONSISTENCY A HAS PROVEN TO BE A WINNER FOR ME, NOT SURE IT WILL FOR EVERYONE BUT I AM OF THE MINDSET, THAT IF IT WORKS DO NOT CHANGE JUST FOR VARIETY.
AS AN ADDON YOU DECIDE WHATYOURDIETWILL BE NOT THE URGE TO HAVE MORE, OR GRATER VARIETY.
When I eat oatmeal for breakfast steam carrots and broccoli for lunch then I might have 2 steamed chicken tenders with carrots and broccoli for dinner and I got it down to 155 so maybe it's what I'm eating. But it was aweful the first few days I was 300-289. Now I'm seeing 155-189 so I guess I need to cut back more maybe just 2meals a day may work better for me
