Hi 

I was wondering if anyone takes any vitamin and mineral supplements?  I
was told by my doctor and have since read a lot about diabetes vitamin
and mineral deficiencies.  Tests have revealed I have low level of
chromium and this is one of the most common causes of diabetes.  So now
I take a mineral supplement "chromium picolonate" (a NZ brand
"Thompsons" the Glucose Sugar Manager) which helps to balance my sugars
and makes me better able to tolerate my carbohydrates, before I couldn't
even eat one portion of fruit without getting skin infections.

Have you ever experienced any similar problems?

PS. Basmati rice is low GI and I eat this daily,  Have you heard of
this?

Hi Helen,

Sorry to hear you are a celiac.  I have been one for about 10 years now
and
my blood sugar runs high. Rice is very high in carbs.  I am trying to
control my sugar with herbs I got from my acupuncture. I'll let you know
if
they work.

This is a disease that can be controlled, you just have to learn a new
life
style and teach your friends about it.  It takes a while as the big guys
(corp) like to hide wheat in everything.

My problem seems to be wheat as I can eat other glutens without any
pain.
When I eat wheat the pain is awful.

Ask any questions, I'm sure we will all try to help you

Carolyn
