MsShelly added a discussion to the group parents of kids with Type 1
niacinamide cure
Has anyone explored the use of niacinamide to cure type 1 diabetes in the early stages or to prevent it? I am also seeing where it can be beneficial in reducing the amount of insulin needed in someone having it for years. I would be interested in what others know, has anyone tried this. If you haven't heard of it just do an online search of niacinamide and diabetes.
