Editorial Review: Insulow, recommended in Diabetes Solutions by Dr. R. Bernstein, is pure R+ Lipoic acid complexed with essential Biotin. R+ lipoic enhances glucose uptake and insulin sensitivity which reduces insulin spike after carbohydrate containing meals. Improving carbohydrate uptake and utilization can increase energy levels and improve your ability to use both fat and carbohydrates for energy.
Terrific For Diabetics 5 out of 5
This product helps to keep blood glucose numbers in a lower range. I am working at getting my numbers below 95 consistently and never go over 140 to prevent complications down the road. I like the fact that Insulow has biotin included so I don't have to take a separate tablet. It is important to take 15 minutes before eating and do not take with regular ALA because the R-ALA in Insulow will negate the regular ALA. R-ALA is the most effective form of ALA.
not sure about this for a diabetic. 1 out of 5
As a type two diabetic I was already taking prescription drugs that my doctor ordered and when I took this I brooke in a rash inside and out. Very uncomfortable. It sent my blood sugar through the roof via improved uptake then made me crash emotionally about 5 hrs later. It did not lower my blood sugar or make it easier to control. I quit taking it and will not start again. I did some checking on this stuff and there is not one real credible evidence about its efficacy other than the manufacture and there is some dispute about the technical details of the actual chemistry of it on the net. So i would not recommend this for any diabetic unless the doctors prescribed it for you. I should have never bought the bottle of what ever it is.
A valuable product for diabetics 5 out of 5
Recommended by Dr. Richard K. Bernstein in "Dr. Bernstein's Diabetes Solution." (Little Brown) In combination with evening primrose oil, it has helped keep my blood sugar level at a safe level. Check the Bernstein book for details. My order arrived promptly and scheduled reorders provide the most economical price I can find.
Insulow-helpful? I don't know 3 out of 5
My bloodsugars are totally out of control even with oral medication. I've tried every other diabetes medication with bad side effects. I tried this based on other reviews and I can't say that it has had any effect good or bad. I haven't used it regularly so maybe if I used it at every meal it might have more effect. The only positive is that I've had no side effects with Insulow. My physician scoffed when I told him that I had been using Insulow. He told me that only prescription medications would have any effect on my blood sugars.
Really helped with 'burning' sensation in my feet 5 out of 5
I have been taking this for about 4 weeks now, and I've noticed that the burning sensations I was getting on the bottom of my feet (especially the right) has almost disappeared. It no longer feels overwhelming at times, and I seem to have better feeling in my big toe as well.
It helped some with my blood sugars, but the largest benefit for me has been in the neuropathy calming down.
