Our Members Asked:
I take insulin (Humalog) for diabetes. Are there supplements that could affect my blood sugar levels and how much insulin I need to take?

Answer:
A number of supplements may affect blood sugar levels typically reducing them and require you to, therefore, reduce your dose of insulin (sold as Humalog, Humulin, Iletin, Lantus, Levemir, Novolin, Novolog, Velosulin, etc.).
Supplements which may have this effect include aloe, chromium, ginseng, and CoQ10, and there is weaker evidence for about 30 others.
