American Journal Clinical Nutrition, 89: 106-113, 2009
Athletes have been supplementing with glutamine for a few years now and is becoming very popular. It is great for boosting the immune system and keeping that hard earned muscle where it is!
Lately it has been found to improve insulin and blood sugar regulation. This especially applied to the obese patients and those with type 2 diabetes. It was found that glutamine taken orally increased levels of insulin, GLP-1 and GIP (your gastrointestinal tract release these to stimulate the release of insulin to control blood sugar). Check with your doctor before trying this product so that they can keep track of your blood sugar levels.
