Is Vanadyl Sulfate Effective In The Treatment Of Diabetes?
I am type 2 diabetic and discontinued Metformin 1 1/2 yrs ago. This last A1C was 7.4 due to several reasons of which I have eliminated. I don t intend on using any medication known to increase the chance of amputation, so look at supplements. Am starting Vanadyl Sulfate with Gymnema Sylvestre as insurance along with diet to avoid another bad A1C result. Is this an okay formula or not?

Hello,
Please look that you may take Vanadyl sulfate drug as long as your blood sugar level remains under control.
In addition to the HbA1c test, also take help of other short-term blood sugar levels monitoring tests such as FBS and RBS.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
