Perhaps the most important mineral for diabetes is vanadyl sulfate.
Supplementation with vanadyl sulfate has been shown to reduce fasting glucose and glycosylated hemoglobin (86-88) In diabetic rats, treatment with sodium orthovanadate reversed the increased activity of polyol pathway enzymes aldose reductase and sorbitol dehydrogenase, the accumulation of sorbitol and fructose in the diabetic lens, and blood glucose and glycosylated hemoglobin levels.
