Battle Diabetes with Nutrients & Supplements

[Guest guest]

I would recommend getting an RBC mineral test, antioxidant profile,

etc., before randomly taking that stuff. Long term use can be toxic or

cause deficiencies of other nutrients.

> productive life! Here's some vitamins & supplements you should use as

> a WEAPON to WIN THE FIGHT!

>

> ===================================

>

> CHROMIUM

> Research suggests that our bodies require certain nutrients for normal

> blood sugar and insulin absorption. Chromium is one of those

> nutrients. Chromium actually helps to increase the efficiency of

> insulin; it allows insulin to more effectively transport the glucose

> into the cells.

>

> ALPHA-LIPOIC ACID

> ALA is a very powerful antioxidant. Lipoic acid may also help to lower

> blood sugar, especially when in combination with chromium. However, if

> you're taking diabetic medications, you should monitor your blood sugar

> closely since lipoic acid and chromium are able to lower blood sugar

> quite significantly.

>

> VITAMIN E and VITAMIN C

> Antioxidants are extremely important in all diabetics. Vitamin E

> improves the action of insulin and thus helps to lower the blood sugar.

> It also may help to protect you from developing cataracts.

>

> MAGNESIUM

> Adequate magnesium intake may improve insulin production. It may also

> help prevent long-term complications from diabetes.

>

> ZINC

> Type 2 diabetics tend to lose zinc in their urine. Zinc is very

> important in the synthesis of insulin.

>

> NIACIN

> This B vitamin may help to restore the insulin-producing cells in the

> pancreas, which are the beta cells.

>

> VITAMIN B6 and B12

> May help prevent diabetic neuropathy.

>

> BIOTIN

> Needed to process glucose.

>

> ESSENTIAL FATTY ACIDS

> May help prevent diabetic neuropathy. Aid in insulin secretion in Type

> 2 Diabetics.

>

> GYMNEMA SYLVESTRE

> Herb from India that helps the pancreas produce insulin in Type 2

> diabetes. Helps lower the blood sugar in both Type 1 and Type 2

> diabetes by enhancing the action of insulin.

>

> BILBERRY

> Plant from Europe that helps improve the circulation to the retina,

> thus helping to prevent diabetic retinopathy.

>

> QUERCETIN

> A bioflavonoid that may also reduce the risk of diabetic retinopathy.

>

> GRAPESEED and/or PINEBARK EXTRACT

> Another bioflavonoid that can help strengthen the small blood vessels

> of the retina helping reduce the risk of retinopathy.

>

> GINKGO BILOBA

> Improves blood flow to the brain as well as to the arms, fingers, legs

> and toes.
