Blood Sugar

• As far as hemoglobin A1C, is there a functional range for that? Mine was at 5.8, but I got it down to 5.3 through changing diet and doing supplements.
• I’m using a product, Bio Gymnema, to reduce hemoglobin A1c. I have seen some reduction in hemoglobin A1C. At the same time, I also took Berberine, which is known to reduce A1C, so I'm not sure which of the products was the most helpful.
• Do you have any experience or knowledge of gymnema for blood sugar control? Has that been effective for any of your clients?
• I have low blood sugar issues, but can't tolerate much additional fat. I tried Digestion GB but had a negative reaction to it. Would you have any comments or suggestions on increasing fats to help with balancing blood sugar?

• I have insulin resistance. I tried the Paleo diet and lost 20lbs, a lot of muscle, and was exhausted and ready for bed at 7pm. Is there something about my approach that didn't work? Should I try it again? What else could I do for insulin resistance?
• What could be the reason for palpitations and shakiness?

• What are your thoughts on Alpha R Lipoic Acid supplements? Do you recommend it and is there any reason why one shouldn't take it?
• On the reactive hypoglycemia blood sugar testing, my numbers bounced around some. They were: fasting, 80; thirty minutes after, 83. At half hour intervals: 82, 93, 90, 86, 88, 78, and 83. Are these swings significant?
• I’m confused on which supplement(s) to take to balance my blood sugar. Should I use Ultra Benfotiamine, B Complex Plus, ChromeMate GTF 600, or Chromium Picolinate?
• Is Cinnamon helpful in bringing blood sugar levels down?
