Diabetone

[MickyF]

Hi,

Does anyone use or recommend the above product which is being sold in Boots & Holland & Barrett as a nutritional supplement aimed especially at people with Diabetes. Is over ?10 for a month's supply so is a lot more expensive than a month's worth of multivatimins?

Thanks

Mick

Hi Mick, I think this has been discussed before and it was thought that it's probably not worth it, just exploiting people's worries.

You've had the same answer in two places now from different people Micky LOL

I'd be inclined to think the answer was correct ! 🙂

When I was first diagnosed I brought a box from Holland and Barrett; I thought yes they are specifically for thoese with diabetes - however, I then realised its just a con - multi-vitamins/cod-liver oil etc...are just as good and less expensive plus ensuring you eat your 5 a day. At over ?10 a box its an expensive mistake.... and one I won't be making again....🙂

My Consultant said keep away from it and when buying my normal vitamins in H&B I discussed it with the sales lady who whispered to me 'don't bother'😉

Or better still. Just your five a day and a well balanced diet (limiting carbs where you need to). Unless you have other specific needs identified by a your doctor, there shouldn't be a need for supplements if you're able to eat a range of foods from the different groups (carbs, fats, protein).🙂

It was the sales assistant who told me to buy them; can I ask what vitamins you take?
