Zinc and diabetes


Can zinc supplements prevent diabetes?

Zinc mania has been going on for the past 2 decades; consumers have been consuming kilograms of zinc powder and capsules like there is no tomorrow. For people who have diabetes, Zinc does not prevent or lower blood sugars. The only people who hype up zinc are the manufacturers. Zinc does have other roles in the body but as far as blood sugar is concerned, it has ZERO benefits.

If you are a diabetic, I suggest you take the medications prescribed to you. Diabetes is not a disorder you want to fool around with zinc. Letting your blood sugar remain elevated will eventually make you blind, dumb, impotent, bed ridden and most likely end up losing your legs. Diabetic medications do work, so why are you messing around with zinc?
