Can inositol help lower my glycated hemoglobin?

I am a 66 year old woman with a borderline Hbac1 level. I am taking atorvostatin 10 mg. I am told that inositol is a supplement. My glucose level is normal. No

Hello ma'am, are you taking any other medication than atorvastatin? Thanks for the feedback! I have found a few references indicating that inositol can help lower blood sugar especially if taken with diabetes medication, but it is nothing concrete at this time. You can try the product, but don't expect miracles. The best way is to adopt healthy lifestyle and eating habits, and a consultation with a nutritionist and kinesiologist can help develop realistic plans for you. Most group insurances cover this type of service. Sincerely, Tom Samaha, Pharmacist
