I’m on week four of a course at the moment, and have found it an absolute revelation. I’m so pleased I attended.
I have a question though…. Are there supplements you’d recommend. At the moment I take:
Thanks

Hi Jason
Thank you for your question and we are glad you are enjoying your course.
When it comes to supplementation then there are two main things to consider:
1) Am I getting all the nutrients I need from my diet?
2) Am I deficient in this nutrient / or need to supplement for my condition?
By following the Nutrition for Health model you are more than likely getting all the nutrients you need from real food, which are absorbed in your body much more efficiently and naturally. So this is the first thing to consider. Have you carried out a dietary self-assessment?
The only way to know if you are deficient or need to supplement for your condition is to have a blood test / see a dietician (food analysis).
You can read all about specific foods and the nutrients they contain on pages 99-105 of the Diabetes handbook.
Hope this helps and gives you some food for thought
Paul
