If you're over 60 and dealing with blood sugar spikes, fatigue, or worrying A1C numbers, this video breaks down the science on the best vitamins to support insulin sensitivity and glucose control—backed by real clinical research.
We ranked the top performers like Magnesium (the #1 game-changer for most diabetics), Vitamin D, and Chromium , plus the ones that fall short.
Key takeaways:
- Magnesium can drop fasting glucose by 11-18 mg/dL and improve A1C.
- Vitamin D helps restore normal glucose regulation, especially if you're deficient (super common after 60!).
- Chromium picolinate supports better insulin action.
Always chat with your doctor before starting supplements, get levels tested, and monitor your numbers closely.
