Manage Blood Sugar Levels With Nutritional Supplements

While eating a healthy diet and exercising regularly are necessary in your attempt to control blood sugar, these are not the only components of my “Natural Remedies for Diabetes.”

Diabetes is, in part, a nutrient-wasting disease. Elevated levels of glucose act like a diuretic and cause substantial loss of nutrients in the urine. Therefore, people living with diabetes are likely to be deficient in several important vitamins and minerals.

Incredibly, most white-coated experts specializing in diabetes make no attempt whatsoever to replace lost nutrients, leaving people with diabetes to suffer the inevitable consequences of massive nutritional deficiencies.

Is it any wonder that they are at increased risk for atherosclerosis, heart disease, and other degenerative conditions that have been definitively linked to nutritional deficiencies?

If you are dealing with diabetes, it is very important that you take a high quality vitamin and mineral supplement every day. Research has shown that taking a potent daily multivitamin and mineral supplement dramatically reduces the incidence of infection and the number of sick days among people dealing with diabetes.

In one study, half of the participants were given a daily multivitamin and mineral, while the other half received a placebo. Over the next 12 months, 93 percent of those who had received the placebo experienced one or more infections, and 89 percent missed work or other activities due to infection-related illness. Of those receiving the multi, just 17 percent contracted infections—and not a single person in this group missed work or other activities due to infection-related illness.

Beyond a daily multi, there are other targeted supplements that can help you control blood sugar levels and reduce diabetic complication. I’ll tell you about them in future posts…so stay tuned!
