  • Berberine: some studies show that berberine can effectively regulate blood glucose levels, alleviate insulin resistance, and reduce inflammatory markers [

    1

    ]. 

  • Vitamin D: vitamin D may improve glucose control by stimulating insulin release from pancreatic B-cells, which may have a beneficial impact on type 2 diabetes [
