Eat protein such as skinless chicken breast, soy and fish at every meal and snack. Protein helps stimulate the production of glucagon, a hormone that helps counter excessive insulin production, Berkson said. Take 100 mg-300 mg alpha lipoic acid. Berkson says this supplement helps burn glucose and increase the efficiency of insulin. Take supplements of vitamins E and C, chromium, zinc and magnesium.
Vitamin E reduces glucose levels and improves insulin sensitivity.
Vitamin C lowers glucose and normalizes insulin's response to glucose. Magnesium and chromium aid insulin function. Zinc helps the pancreas produce insulin. Take silymarin supplements. Silymarin, which is derived from milk thistle, helps stabilize glucose levels.
