   No. I would advise you against taking any neutraceuticals without your endocrinologist’s consent. I am not saying that he or she will tell you no, but what I am saying is that every individual patient is different and has their own personal medical history and other variables which only their specific doctor will know. It could be just fine for one diabetic patient to take such supplements, but not ok at all for another.

   Also, I see that you have been on chemotherapy treatments in the recent past. With that thrown into the mix, I would even more strongly advise you to consult with your doctor first.

   When you do talk to he or she and if you do get approval, then please make sure to follow the advice I am about to give you. Make sure to get supplements that are USP certified for quality, potency and purity (all three!).

   The reason I tell you this, is because not all manufacturers of dietary supplements and nutraceuticals are subject to the most recent changes in FDA regulations. That means that if you get your supplements from a manufacturer (not seller, as just because you may purchase it from a large seller, does not mean what you are purchasing was made by a large manufacturer), then they do not have to follow the new more strict guidelines until possibly 2011. This means that instead of being regulated like an OTC drug, they are regulated just like a food company and nothing more. So the raw materials can be comming from anywhere (and let me just tell you they are mainly comming from China where heavy metal content can be sky high) and they may not even be tested in the least! But if you get products that have USP approval, then you can feel much more confident in the quality, as USP standards are very good and require the companies to follow strict guidelines!
