Omega 3 Fatty Acids

In recent years doctors have found that Omega 3 Fatty Acids promote heart health in people with Type 2 Diabetes. One study with 290 Type 2 diabetics with no evidence of atherosclerosis (plaque build up in the arteries), on a healthy diet, half which received Omega 3's found that after a year both groups lost weight, but those who took the Omega 3's had less atherosclerosis progression as measured by carotid artery thickness.
Talk to your doctor about adding this therapy to your treatment regiment.
