Hi Louie, I have Type 1 and am unmedicated. I use PatchMD Tri-Mag Complex. As I have allergies I find oral supplements can affect me adversely. Also, they contain fillers, part of the dose is lost et cetera. The patches are 8 hour slow release, (so whole dose) bypassing the stomach and straight into the blood stream where needed. I wear overnight. I use other patches during the day to try and give my body what it needs to be fully covered supplementally. Not a natural medicine but a supplement. But truthfully, it helps me a lot at night. Not a cure, but even incrementally, what helps is a big victory. All the best. Hugs

I've not tried it but I've read that CBD could be helpful for some people. There's an article on here you may want to read:
