Of course the management of blood sugar and diabetes requires a change in diet and adequate exercise, but while you may be struggling with your diet to control blood sugar, you may be struggling harder than necessary if the basic nutrients for good insulin sensitivity are neglected. Here are 5 nutrients that help optimize insulin sensitivity and make blood sugar easier to control. No. 1, magnesium is an important co-factor required for proper insulin function. And although magnesium citrate and glycinate are useful, magnesium threonate is probably the best for insulin sensitivity. No. 2, zinc supports the body’s response, the natural response to insulin. No. 3, chromium has been shown to improve insulin sensitivity and may help induce weight loss. No. 4, vitamin E known for its antioxidant properties has been shown to help produce hemoglobin A1C. And No. 5, Vitamin D, deficiency of vitamin D is linked to insulin resistance, so maintaining adequate levels of vitamin D is key for blood sugar control.
