Hey Everyone need some advice.

I am on this forum for my father, He does not speak English, Born in 1963, He was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes back when he was 17. I was recently skipping through the channels and came across a product called Resveratrol, I am wondering if a 100mg supplement would be something my father can take.

Thanks

Please google the side effects, to see if your dad can handle the pros & cons.
Also, he should tell his doctor about it.
Good luck.

You're better off buying a swamp.

See a doctor to get a judgement on whether he needs it or not first!

Prescription medication really should not be advertised to anyone other than qualified doctors.

It's probably not necessary

There just isn't evidence indicating resveratrol supplements do anything for a diabetic. Have him talk to a doctor about it; I'm sure the doctor will recommend against it, mainly because it's a waste of money.
