Antioxidants are essential to help prevent the damage to arteries and nerves that results from elevated blood sugar levels. Alpha Lipoic acid is one such antioxidant and has been shown to be extremely beneficial in type 2 diabetes. One study found that 600 mgs Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA) taken twice daily can significantly reduce the need for insulin. After a month of treatment, The ALA also reduced the fasting lactate and pyruvate levels, and increased insulin sensitivity and glucose effectiveness (Diabetes Care 99;22:280-287).
