Diabetics and Nutrition

While the diabetic pack sold at my website (please e-mail before ordering) is, in my opinion, the perfect combination of supplements for diabetics, other ways to help control sugar do exist.
For instance, numerous studies have suggested that simply sprinkling cinnamon on a morning bowl of oatmeal will help lower the need for insulin in certain diabetics. Other natural products such as gemmena sylvestre can also help lower blood sugar levels.
One of the most overlooked aspects of diabetes is in the lack of vitamins and minerals in one's daily diet. I guess that because many diabetics are fat, everyone (the diabetics themselves included) presume that plenty of nutrients are being delivered. Often, this is not the case.
Study after study have shown diabetics to be lacking in several important vitamins and minerals.
B Complex vitamins are often deficient, along with chromium and different omega oils such as omega 3 and omega 6. It is important to find a good quality supplement as we rarely eat properly. And, no, the lettuce, pickles and onion on a Big Mac do not constitute a nutritious portion of vegetables.
