Re: Dry skin issue - fish oil

[Guest guest]

I have a friend who does not have diabetes but has very high cholesterol,

she has been taking fish oil capsules and her cholesterol has dropped

significantly. So it might also have some other beneficial effects if

people have high cholesterol. How much are you taking? (I don't know how

much she is taking, but I can ask if anyone wants to know.)

Just a friendly reminder- I don't know anything about fish oil or other things

but I would like to say that you should really discuss it with your doctor

before starting anything new.....especially if you are on any kind of

medications.

Thanks for the reminder Marisa. It actually was my doctor that prescribed the

fish oil. I was really surprised to know that there is prescription strength

fish oil capsules!

Hi Jan~

I'm currently taking 4 capsules per day; two in the morning and two at night.

The fish oil is called Omacor and the capsules are large compared to the

capsules you can get over the counter. Unfortunately, it doesn't tell me what

the dose is, because I would like to know that too.

Be careful with the fish oil. I use to take them for depression

because of the Omega3(5 or whatever). But I notice that my BG's

started going bonkers the next morning after I took them in the

evening. On most fish oil bottles (all but one brand to what I saw in

Target) says do not take if you have diabetes. So really really talk

to you doctor and monitor your BGs if you take them. Only bad back is

that they do work great for depression and bipolar since fish oil

chemicals helps balance the seritons chemical levels in your body.

Ask the pharmacist. They should be able to tell you.

You can buy the same strength over the counter much cheaper.

Flax seed oil is a good Omega3 also and I don't think it screws with

your blood glucose as I've been taking it for a couple of years now.

Marisa,

You're right about checking with your doctor. I take Coumadin (blood

thinner) and can NOT take fish oil. The combination can cause bleeding

problems. This is in the capsule form only. I can EAT fish....I eat a

lot of salmon....and it doesn't affect the blood thinning meds I take.
