Hi,

L arginine is used as a health supplement to help in the synthesis of proteins in the body. It is used to increase the muscle mass and strength. Accumulating studies have shown that L arginine has no effect on blood sugar levels and insulin levels. But it may have glucose lowering effect in diabetics.

Definitely, it may have potential to prevent or relieve type 2 diabetes by restoring insulin sensitivity and till date there is no study which may show its glucose increasing effect. Therefore, your thinking of associating this product to increased sugar level is completely unfounded.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Satnarain Bansal, General & Family Physician
