Abstract
Diabetes, in particular type II diabetes mellitus, is among the most common diseases in particular in the western world, but rapidly expanding also in the rest of the world, drug treatment is relegated to a few drugs, while nutritional intervention and physical activity should be considered as the first option, an increasingly used approach, also thanks to a strong marketing push, is the use of nutritional supplements [1, 2]. This work has the aim of analyzing the most used categories, underlining how, at present, there is no supplement capable of treating diabetes, however negative outcomes due to the pathology itself can be managed.
