How long will it take for the d-pinitol to start helping insulin resistance?
###########
Ed. comments: Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes are two very different disorders. Type 2 diabetes is a metabolic disorder very commonly accompanied by insulin resistance. Type 1 is an autoimmune disease, which is an immune system disorder, not a metabolic disorder. I really don't know how prevalent insulin resistance is in Type 1. Therefore, I don't know to what extent or how soon the d-pinitol formula may be helpful. If you do have insulin resistance, I would give it several months before you notice something good.
Also, diet and exercise play a huge role in controlling insulin resistance. Poor diet and sedentary lifestyle can greatly reduce the beneficial effect of d-pinitol or any other nutritional supplement.
