Most important in your case is to change nutrition. No industrial sugars
(icecream, coke, no diet icecream, no diet coke), no white bread, less
protein. And much more natural fruit and vegetables.
No doubt, it works. Not to forget exercise. Be sure you need less
medication.

I´ve a 15 years experience with vitamine supplementation. I´m sure it can
help, but not everything is good. 800 mg vitamin E is too much, also in your
case. 200 mg is enough, I take 100 mg a day (135 lb.). 500mcg B12 is also
too much, I take 12mcg and this is more than recommended. Very important for
diabetics is zinc! because it plays an important role in the
glucose/insuline metabolism. You should take a minimum supplementation of
12mg a day. No doubt, it helps very much. I take it since 15 years (I am a
type1 diabetic).

Your trigs are too high. If you change nutrition as described above this
problem will be resolved. TC is too low! Yes, too low. Your body needs more
cholesterol - up to 200 - to work as is necessary.

You can fight insulin resistance by eating less protein. I agree, it´s an
alternative way but it has been proved since 30 years. If you reduce daily
protein consumption to 1g per kg weight (excuse I´m a European), you will
see that it works successfully.
