People with diabetes or hyperinsulinemia could benefit from boron and its ability to regulate insulin. In some cases, boron deficiencies cause these diseases. If you are high-risk for either, it may be beneficial to increase boron in your diet. The mineral helps your body effectively metabolize insulin so that you require less. Combined with a healthy diet, boron can also help regulate blood sugar levels.
