Has taking R-Lipoic Acid lowered your fasting glucose levels, and if so how much? Thanks!

My A1C is better and my daily blood sugars seem to be better . I am not good about avoiding fats and I noticed that when I have too large a serving of ribs my sugars don't shoot up like they used to. I have replaced ice cream with Eddy's Outshine bars.... Best thing that I found so I can have "feel good treat" and only get max 100 calories

I bought two kind of Doctor's best Alph Lapoic Acid:one is "Doctor's Best Best Alpha-Lipoic Acid",I think that is R and S;the other is "Doctor's Best Best Stabilized R-Lipoic Acid",this is R,Of course, the price is higher.

ConsumerLab.com has tested 8 or 10 Doctor's Best products, but not the Doctor's Best Alpha Lipoic Acid nor its R-Lipoic Acid. On the other hand, Consumer Lab has a comparative report on about 17 different brands of Alpha Lipoic Acid, apparently (no guarantee on this) with some side notes on R-Lipoic Acid advantages or disadvantages. I don't have the report, so can't be sure of the contents. On manufacturing location, I'd suggest contacting the home office of Doctor's Best, San Clemente California 92673. (800)777-2474 WWW.DRBVITAMINS.COM. Part of the label says Bioenhanced Na-RA is a registered trademark of GenoNova Research, Inc., and the front label mentions as a selling feature "Featuring bioenhanced Na-RALA." For further information, you should contact the company sources. And personally, I'm choosy about supplements, and Doctor's Best is one of the three supplement companies I find personally to deliver consistent products at a reasonable price.

It has multiple ingredients but lipoic acid would be considered the active ingredient. For more details you could contact there customer service a 1-888-203-3130, the number on the label.

I tried this before I went on Metformin. It did not work for me. But Metformin took about 2 months to bring my fasting blood sugar down to normal, so maybe I should have increased the dose of the GlycoX 500 before I tried Metformin and given it a longer trial, but my blood glucose was very high-175-200, and I needed to get it down.

You can buy a Relion Glucometer that has a lancet device very cheaply. The lancets for Relion are the cheapest I have found. They work with many meters also. I use mine with a Bayer Contour and Contour Next. I just switched to a new meter-Freestyle freedom lite. Because of my insurance. It uses less blood. The lancets from Relion work with this device as well.

d-Biotin 150 mcg (micrograms which is the same as 0.15 milligrams) (this is 50% of the daily requirement for Biotin) R-Alpha Lipoic Acid 100 milligrams (from 125 mg Sodium R-alpha Lipoate (Bio-Enhanced Na-RALA) Below is from Jarrow's website: Jarrow Formulas Stabilized R-Alpha Lipoic Acid (Bio-EnhancedNa-RALA) is R-(+)-Alpha Lipoic Acid (RALA). It is heat and shelf stable and exhibits high bioavailability. Most alpha-lipoic acid supplements include equal amounts of the (R) and (S) forms. However, only RALA is found naturally in the body. RALA is a unique cofactor in energy production and helps regulate glucose and lipid metabolism.* RALA promotes the synthesis of glutathione and the induction of Phase II detoxification enzymes.* d-Biotin is a natural cofactor and may compliment RALA in promoting mitochondrial health.* Also, please be aware that jarrow makes other products that are cations of the product shown in your query.

It says on the bottle Serving size 3 capsules a dayRed Yeast Rice -1,200 mg. per servingCoenzyme Q10 30mg. per servingSo imagine it means to get that amount in mgs. you would have to take 3 tab. a day (with meals preferably) I must admit I have not taken these faithfully. So can't say if it helps. I just went off my statin drug, because I heard so much bad about statins, so was going to take these. But keep forgetting to take them. Hope this answers your question.

I have no idea. I followed the steps to the letter. I still have Type II Diabetes. Don't know why you're going to try it, but it had NO effect on my problem. Except to lower my bank account!

I am not diabetic, but I check my fasting glucose bi-weekly just to be sure my diet is good. As a result, my test strips sit in the sealed container a long time. I get good, clear responses even after six-ten months. I think it is very important to keep the strips in a tightly-sealed container. If given regular use, the test strips probably will run out long before they cease to be effective. I am very happy with my True2Go meter and Truetest strips.

I can only respond in relation to Prodigy strips. When your blood sugar is extremely high, I find them not as accurate, but from 250 and below they read within 1 to 5 points as the Prodigy strips. I really like the little meter that fits on top of the canister of strips, so handy for your purse.

I never tried the original formula but the lipo 6 did atleast act as an appetite inhibitor. To eat twice a day I had to make myself do it. The formula does contain a fair amount of caffeine but I'm not one whose sensitive to it. Will the formula help you curb appetite? Yes. Is it a magical fat burner ? No

From what I remember, there are natural fruit juice flavorings. If the fructose is under a certain percentage, they can say "no sugar" according to the government standards. They don't raise my blood sugar levels, so I think they are ok. They are not carb free, but I think that doesn't matter, since when I test my blood sugar level, they don't cause a rise in numbers.

I take this and it does not make my RLS worse. I was actually able to cure my RLS with a natural product called "Naturally Calm" by Natural Vitality. You can purchase it from Amazon.

Before. I had been using it and was just about finish the first bottle and went for my six month check up and everything was normal, (first time ever). A few weeks later my wife read something on the interned that said it was not healthy and threw them out. I went last week and My blood sugar and cholesterol were both up. I made her but more. In another five and a half months I will find out If it was a fluke or not.

I actually didn't take the pills except for a couple of them whuch made me very ill. I suggest going on a low carb and low sugar diet. Rather than this stuff. I honestly am scared to know people are taking this poison. When I took it one hour before a meal it made me more hungry than ever. adding fiber will give you the same fullness and it is natural.
