Managing Diabetes With An All-Natural Supplement

Diabetes: Learn The Facts 

Over the last two decades, the number of people diagnosed with Prediabetes and Diabetes has increased rapidly across the world, not just in the United States. Once diagnosed, it is imperative that a person does as much research as he or she can. Knowing your condition gives you the arsenal you need in managing Diabetes.

There are three types of Diabetes: Type 1, also known as Juvenile Diabetes wherein the body produces very little to no insulin and is most common in children to adolescents. Type 2 which is the most common and occurs mostly in adults 45 and over. The third one is Gestational Diabetes which can occur in women during pregnancy.

Before we delve deeper into Type 2 Diabetes, the following are the cold, hard, facts in the United States on Diabetes straight from the CDC website:  https://www.cdc.gov/diabetes/basics/quick-facts.html

     The Statistics:

• • In the US alone, 37 million people have Diabetes. 1 in 5 do not know they have it.
  • 96 million US adults have Prediabetes. 8 in 10 do not know they have it.
  • Diabetes is the eighth leading cause of death in the United States and this number may be underreported.
  • Type 2 diabetes accounts for approximately 90% to 95% of all diagnosed cases; type 1 diabetes accounts for approximately 5-10%.
  • Cases have more than doubled in the last two decades as Americans age and become increasingly obese.

What Is Diabetes? 

Diabetes occurs when the body’s blood sugar levels are higher than normal. This is referred to as Hyperglycemia or High Blood Glucose. Typically, in a routine check-up and a periodic blood test, a physician can very easily diagnose  Prediabetes before the condition crosses over to full-blown Type 2 Diabetes. However, as mentioned above, 8 out of 10 people with Prediabetes do not even know they have it. 

One of the most important parts of managing Diabetes is knowing that you have it.  This is why it is imperative to schedule routine care appointments with your doctor–especially if you have one or more of the risk factors.  A few examples are family history, a sedentary lifestyle, obesity, overeating, age 45 and over, and being under a lot of stress.

Insulin is a hormone that plays a major part in regulating the movement of blood sugar into cells. In all three types of Diabetes, the body cannot produce or utilize insulin properly.

Type 1 Diabetes

In Type 1 Diabetes, the body produces very little to no insulin. It is most common in children to adolescents. Despite all the research, there is currently no known cure or prevention for this disease.

Type 2 Diabetes

In Type 2 Diabetes, there are two ways Insulin can affect the body. First, the body is not producing enough insulin. Second, the cells respond poorly to insulin and do not absorb sugar as they should. This is also known as “insulin resistance.” To put it simply, the body is not able to utilize insulin properly.

These two contribute to too much sugar circulating in the bloodstream and building up over time.  While Type 2 Diabetes has symptoms, they are mild and sometimes non-existent. The most accurate way to find out is through a blood test called A1C Test. Normal blood glucose levels are below 5.7%, Prediabetes at 5.7-6.4, and Type 2 Diabetes at 6.5 and above.

Type 2 diabetes is often linked to being overweight or inactive. However, there are exceptions as in my brother-in-law’s case.  He was neither overweight nor inactive. For most diabetics, losing weight can be extra challenging but it is an integral part in managing Diabetes.  You feel hungry and tired, so you want to eat more and exercise less. It becomes a vicious cycle.

Doctors will put most diabetics on prescription medications (insulin shots and/or pills) that help keep blood sugar levels under control. However, side effects associated with the prescriptions can range from nausea to digestive issues, and urinary tract infections.

GlucoTrust and What Makes It Work

GlucoTrust is a new innovative supplement manufactured in the USA. It contains seven all-natural ingredients and a blend of 15 other herbs promoting natural hormonal balance.

GlucoTrust is designed to help people break the cycle of obesity and inactivity by incorporating the following main ingredients: 

1. Gymnema Sylvestre – its name in Hindi, Gurmar, literally means, “sugar destroyer”
2. Biotin (metabolizes fats, carbohydrates, and amino acids)
3. Chromium – a mineral that helps insulin regulate blood sugar levels
4. Manganese – assists the body in normal glucose tolerance. Diabetics have been shown to have low levels of Manganese.
5. Licorice Root – has been shown to improve blood glucose levels and kidney health in animal studies. It also helps curb appetite and boost weight loss
6. Cinnamon – has been shown to support normal glucose levels and lower risks associated with Diabetes in some studies
7. Juniper Berries – has been used in traditional medicine to treat Diabetes and recent animal studies have confirmed its ability to lower blood sugar levels.

These seven main ingredients work together in managing Diabetes by promoting healthy blood sugar levels and addressing safe and effective weight loss and better sleep.
