A member asked:
My 13y/o daughter has t1dm how good will it help her if i also give her natural supplements that include cinnamon, biotin, and chronium?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
May help a bit...: It is easier to improve type 2 than type 1 diabetes with supplements but there is some evidence that biotin can improve sugar levels ; chromium can improve Insulin sensitivity in t1dm. Cinnamon may not help type 1.
