Hey, on my whole blood sugar investigation thing I came across some info about Taurine working to make you more sensitive to insulin. While searching for info on Taurine and disease I found some info on GLA, Gamma-linolenic acid, which supposively helps both to break down lipids in the blood and to help "normalize blood vessels." It's also an anti-inflammatory.
Has anyone tried taking GLA supplements?

I take fish oil, which (like GLA) is an omega-3 fatty acid. I have speculated that those might help some people, but can't say for sure. I have been in remission for a few years, but is it due to fish oil, (or the magnesium, melatonin, B-vitamins, and other things I take), or I am just getting a break? Dunno.
Consumer Reports has gone so far as to reccomend all middle age adults take a fish oil supplement (mostly for the cardio benefits). But it also helps with the immune system and nervous system - generally improving a person's autonomic function, but not proven to reverse the autonomic imbalance in cluterheads.
