Sometimes your body tells you with craving food or weird things when you lack what you need.
I have celiac disease and I know my fiber intake is not what it was before my diagnosis so sometimes I take a fiber supplement.
Vitamin C
Grapeseed extract
I have been taking omega 3, vitamin D and chewable vitamin C. Have stoped all this summer as I realized that I was getting false high glucose readings most likely due to the chewable 1000 mg Vit C daily intake. Now my readings are much more controlled and in range and will discuss vitamins in general with my endocrinologist when I see him next month. If he suggests they are not necessary, as I have a healthy diet and try to eat foods rich in healthy nutrients, I will not resume taking any vitamins.
I also take R-lipoic acid and iron.
I also take fish oil, 81 mg baby aspirin, CBD oil, and have recently started taking a cranberry capsule because I read in the Lancet that it was very beneficial. We diabetics can’t drink cranberry juice because they always sweeten cranberry juice.
Just a multi vitamin

I am good about taking Vit D and Biotin (because, hair growth!)…but there are others that sit in the drawer, ignored and forgotten! I should be taking my multi and turmeric more consistently.
