Any Advice on Supplements for Diabetics???

[DrAgOn]

im diabetic and have never touched a supplement as i dont know what effects it would have on my diabetes........

any advice would be appreciated

Your fine to use lots of supplements, depending on your goals

Whey protein
Lipotropic fat burners
Amino acids
Bcaa's

Just stay away from weight gainers, & anything with too much glucose,m maltodextrin, or most other carbs

do u use any supplements mate?

I'd stay away from cheap weight gainers, as there usually packed with sugar.

I think it would be best to ask your doctor about it, but i don't see why it would be a problem being a diabetic and taking supps.

cheers for the info.

any other information about products that may be suitable or advice would also be helpful

Staying clear of sugar is a good idea; what are your goals (what do you want a supplement help you do?)

Ive used the above mentioned supps with no problems with my diabetes, although best to try them and test 45 mins later, as ive found some whey protein to be better than others, due to added sugars, but most ive tried have been ok
