Control insulin resistance with zinc

According to a study, zinc has been shown to mitigate the harmful effects of diabetes by improving glycemic control in type I and type II diabetes.

Keep in mind, anything that helps treat, or control diabetes will be beneficial to those of us with insulin resistance. Uncontrolled/untreated insulin resistance DOES turn into Type II diabetes eventually. Therefore, controlling it now will not only benefit your body, help restore your fertility but it will also dramatically reduce the chance of getting Type II diabetes later in life.

This study suggests those with diabetes (and/or insulin resistance) should supplement zinc into their diet. There are a number of foods that will provide the mineral, or you can take a vitamin zinc supplement if that is easier for you.
