Members shared a wide variety of supplements they use alongside their diabetes medications, with cinnamon (especially Ceylon cinnamon), turmeric, CoQ10, omega-3, vitamin D, B12, chromium, and magnesium being the most commonly mentioned. Several members emphasized the importance of checking with doctors or pharmacists before adding supplements due to potential interactions with prescription medications, and many noted they weren't certain whether the supplements truly helped but felt they weren't causing harm. A recurring theme was the balance between exploring natural options and maintaining prescribed medication regimens, with some members preferring to focus on diet and medication alone rather than adding more pills to their routine.

I take an all natural product not found in stores called Kyani which maintains, repairs and defends every cell in your body. The proper nutrients you would consume in a week your consuming in a day in a 1oz pack. It increases your bodies production of nitric oxide and reverse a process called angeogenesis, that's when a bad cell duplicates itself. It also has the most potent form of vitamin E you'll find on this earth called a tocotrienal. Wild Alaskan Blueberry and wild Alaskan sockeye salmon are the main ingredients in this product. Kyani impacts any illness or disease positively and to give you an idea of how powerful it is, in India they treate HIV/AIDS patients with Kyani triangle and they have a 75% successful treatment rate! It's crazy but makes sense. When you give your body the proper nutrition that the lord intended for you, your body starts becoming a miracle.
Do some research guys, download an app called Team Fusion, once downloaded click on the guest area and enter (Phone number can only be seen by the question and answer creators). That will give you access to that area where you can read on how the doctors design this supplement, the ingredients in it, and show thousands of lives impacted by it. Enjoy the rest of the week and God bless!
