Diabetes mellitus is one of the most common chronic diseases in Germany. More than 7 million people are affected by diabetes, of which over 90% are type 2 diabetics. Despite intensive research, the disease caused by insulin resistance is incurable, but with a consistently healthy lifestyle and regular use of medication, there are hardly any symptoms.

Elevated blood sugar levels damage the small and large blood vessels and pose an increased risk of secondary diseases such as diabetic polyneuropathy, which often manifests itself as tingling in the legs. ALPHA-LIPON AL 600 with the active ingredient alpha-lipoic acid has proven itself to improve so-called "ant walking". It promotes the generation of energy in the nerve cells and intercepts substances that damage nerves.

Proven active ingredient
Chronically high blood sugar often attacks the nerves - diabetic polyneuropathy is one of the most common secondary diseases in diabetics. The antioxidant alpha lipoic acid, also known as thioctic acid, has proven itself to alleviate the symptoms. Studies * show a significant decrease in neuropathic symptoms such as unpleasant tingling, numbness, burning and pain in the arms and legs after several weeks of oral intake.

Frequently asked questions and answers

How long do I have to take ALPHA-LIPON AL 600?

In principle, when taking preparations based on the active ingredient alpha lipoic acid, it can take a few weeks before the symptoms are noticeably relieved. Because diabetic nerve damage is a chronic condition, you may need to take the medicine permanently. Please discuss the duration of use and the daily dose with your doctor.

What should I do if I forget to take a dose?
If you forget to take ALPHA-LIPON AL 600, do not take a double dose for the next dose.
In general, when treating type 2 diabetes with the help of tablets, it is important to take the medication regularly. A medically prescribed therapy can only be successful if it is applied reliably and consistently.

What are typical signs of diabetes?
Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disorder that is associated with increased blood sugar levels. That is why the disease is often referred to colloquially as diabetes. When the blood sugar level reaches a certain level, sugar is excreted through the kidneys. This leads to the main symptoms of increased thirst and very frequent urination. In addition, the disease can manifest itself through tiredness, cravings, leg cramps and wounds that do not heal well. If you suffer from the symptoms mentioned, you should have your blood sugar level measured by your family doctor as soon as possible.
