While supplements can support overall health, they should not replace prescribed medications or lifestyle changes for managing A1C levels. Here are some supplements that may help:

  • Berberine: Studies suggest it may help lower blood sugar levels.
  • Cinnamon: Some research indicates it can improve insulin sensitivity.
  • Alpha-Lipoic Acid (ALA): An antioxidant that may help reduce blood sugar levels.
  • Chromium: May improve insulin sensitivity and glucose metabolism.
  • Magnesium: Low levels are linked to higher A1C; supplementation may help if deficient.

Important Notes:

  • Always consult your healthcare provider before starting any supplements.
  • Supplements are not a substitute for a healthy diet, regular exercise, or prescribed diabetes medications.
  • Monitor your A1C levels regularly to track progress.
