Blood Sugar Support​

Blood sugar dysregulation is a common problem in the United States with more than 29 million people having diabetes, and 86 million people having prediabetes.  Type 1 diabetes is due to an autoimmune condition that attacks pancreas beta cells and requires insulin to be managed. Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is due to a combination of insulin resistance and insufficiency resulting in high blood glucose levels.  Prediabetes describes people with high or poorly controlled blood glucose levels, but not at the point of having type 2 diabetes.  When looking at the breakdown between type 1 and type 2 diabetes, type 2 is more prevalent with a study from 2018 citing between 90.4% to 92.1% of diabetes cases to be type 2. 

Dysfunctional blood glucose levels impact other aspects of health as well. People with type 2 diabetes have higher risk for vision loss, heart disease, stroke, kidney failure, circulatory issues, and decreased life expectancy.  Additionally, of those with prediabetes, 15-30% progress into type 2 diabetes within five years.  Ameliorating blood glucose dysregulation helps to prevent progression and the need for insulin dependence. 

For comprehensive blood sugar support, begin with targeted doses of nutrients which provide blood sugar support, as well as berberine and alpha lipoic acid to maintain the body’s ability to metabolize nutrients and maintain normal antioxidant status. Results will be seen within 3 months.
