Type 2 Diabetes Stack

 General Health 2,191 SupplementDoctor
Type 2 diabetes is also known as adult-onset diabetes. This is a condition where your body does not use enough insulin properly, called insulin resistance. The symptoms of type 2 diabetes include being very thirsty, frequent urination, blurry vision, being irritable, tingling or numbness in the hands and feet, feeling worn out, wounds that don't heal, and yeast infections that keep coming back. This can often be managed by carefully monitoring your diet, physical activity and medication such as metformin, meglitinides and Thiazolidinediones. According to research or other evidence, the following self-care steps may be helpful.

Other nutrients are needed by the body, along with EPO, to make PGE1. Consequently, some experts suggest that magnesium, zinc, vitamin C, niacin, and vitamin B6 should be taken along with EPO.

In a study of healthy men, supplementation with a large amount of zinc (142 mg per day) decreased magnesium absorption. Magnesium supplementation should therefore be considered for people taking large amounts of zinc, and possibly for those taking lower amounts.
