Stop Diabetes and Get Your Blood Sugar Under Control!
by Terry Lemerond
Terry’ s Bottom Line:
High blood sugar and Type 2 diabetes are rampant. However, the need for supplemental insulin and the complications of diabetes – vision loss, nerve damage, kidney disease, heart disease and more – are completely preventable! In addition to committing to rethinking your diet and getting sensible exercise, there are proven ingredients that can help your body properly metabolize glucose and get your blood sugar levels down. These nutrients:
• Help metabolize carbohydrates and sugars
• Keep sugar levels at an even keel throughout the day
• Prevent damage to nerve endings
• Help turn calories into energy rather that fat
• Normalize circulating blood glucose
• Reduce sugar cravings
• The CDC reports that approximately 35 percent of Americans age 20 or older have pre-diabetes. That number soars to 50 percent for Americans over the age of 65. And that’ s not even counting those who have undiagnosed diabetes – unaware that they even have the disease until they start to have physical complications. Clearly, blood sugar is a serious concern.
• I find the rise in cases of type 2 diabetes alarming. If you’ ve ever wondered why we’ re seeing such an epidemic of diabetes and prediabetes, all you have to do is look at our diets.
Nutrients to Balance Your Blood Sugar
Aside from diet and exercise, begin your recovery from high blood sugar with powerful supplemental nutrients. There are many that have extensive research, but some of the best include benfotiamine, biotin, chromium, mulberry leaf extract, and purslane.
Mulberry – More Effective than Drugs for Reducing Blood Sugar
Mulberry( Morus alba) trees are very common throughout the world, and their medicinal value is very impressive. In a clinical study published in the journal Clinica Chimica Acta, patients with type 2 diabetes treated with a mulberry leaf extract significantly improved their glycemic control compared to glibenclamide( a drug) treatment. Comparing the two, fasting blood glucose after treatment with glibenclamide decreased by 8 percent. After mulberry treatment? 27 percent!
