Hi Marshalee,
I don't know about specific supplements for either, but I do know that diet figures VERY prominently in living with either condition. Limiting (or eliminating) sugar & aspartame, as well as all high-glycemic-index foods (potatoes, rice, beans, beets) will at least ease some of the discomfort of MS & make the diabetes (if Type II) very manageable. A Friend of mine was diagnosed with both last year & when she changed her eating habits to this mode, she found she had very few symptoms and lost weight too. She is working with her doc to adjust medications (I don't know what...he's an MD, but practicing as an integrated Naturopath/MD), but she looks great & we walk a mile every day at lunch together. Sorry I don't have more information...

Anyone out there have any words of knowledge for me?? Love, Marshalee PS, My GTT numbers were 90 FBS and 160 2 hours after the nasty sweet stuff... I`ll be having more blood work and possibly an MRI soon. Yuck I`d rather have stage 4 liver cancer than MS, much quicker...
