Inositol and Diabetes
Several pregnant women have high blood sugar during their periods. This condition is also known as gestational diabetes or GDM. Recent studies have shown that inositol can improve the symptoms of GDM thanks to its effects on insulin resistance and blood sugar levels. Ideally, a woman is recommended to take in 400 mcg of folic acid and 4 g of myo-inositol daily in 6 months to get this benefit. Keep in mind to consult the doctor and follow the instructions before taking inositol supplements to avoid any side effects and complications. [9]
