how does l-arginine help diabetics?

well, from what i've read, the high sugar in the blood of diabetics makes it difficult for veins to relax... which restricts blood flow, which creates all sorts of problems at your extremities... feet, especially, but also hands and eyes and yes, causes erectile dysfunction.

l-arginine helps your body produce nitric oxide...which helps veins relax, which helps restore normal blood flow.

that's not to say you can just take l-arginine and be fine. but it is to say you can find some relief for your symptoms with l-arginine. and adding weight lifting to your arginine regimen can be helpful.

there are a couple articles linked to in previous posts with a little more detail. but the research seems promising and the side effects appear minimal.
