Diabetes & Weight

Good diabetic care is mostly about preventing complications quietly, day by day. Weight is the same: honest advice saves money, because no supplement produces meaningful loss on its own.

What actually helps
  • Checking feet daily — reduced sensation hides injuries until they are serious.
  • Protein and fibre, which do more for appetite than any pill.
  • Alpha-lipoic acid and B12 where nerve symptoms have started.
  • Testing thyroid if weight changed without explanation.
