I take Alpha Lipoic Acid. R Lipoic Acid is the better version. It is like superman's Vitamin C on steroids is how it was once defined. I usually say it removes the debris from mitochondria repair.

The other should be avoided if you are diabetic.

I tried the Alpha Lipoic Acid supplement.  I gave me really bad heartburn.  I took it twice and gave the rest away.  It works for some people.  I hope you find the right combinations of medications and supplements!
