Poor blood sugar control and insulin resistance are amongst the most common health problems today. Although type-2 diabetes, which affects more than one in 16 people (diagnosed or un-diagnosed),i is the most common example, there are a host of other common blood sugar related illnesses including sugar cravings, obesity, dyslipidemia, hypertension, skin disorders (e.g. acne, acrochordons, and acanthosis nigricans) and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).ii Diet, exercise, lifestyle-changes and medication are typically the first-line treatments for improving blood glucose control however there are concerns about the real-world benefits and potential side effects of conventional medications.iii iv Nutritional supplements may be a viable treat-ment option and in some cases there is good evidence that they can improve blood glucose control and reduce related symptoms.v Chromium, cinnamon and alpha-lipoic acid have all shown particular benefit in clinical studies. Mechanistically, they are all known to enhance blood glucose metabolism. Ceylon cinnamon extract improved insulin sensitivity by activating the enzymes that stimulate insulin receptors.vi Chromium improves insulin sensitivity through a variety of mechanisms including improved insulin signaling.vii Alpha-lipoic acid also enhances insulin signaling while also being a potent antioxidant.viii
