Supplementing a Diabetic Life-style
A For those who must deal with the complications
of living with diabetes, you are familiar with the multitude of
health problems this disease can bring about. Once diabetes sets in,
reversing it is not the issue; controlling it is. Research has shown
there are changes in life-style and diet that can help.
Three key supplements have shown promise and are routinely
recommended by health care providers. These may help regulate
glucose levels and promote heart health; concerns that many
diabetics face.
Talk with your health care professional about the best
way to integrate these into your diabetes treatment program.
Chromium– A trace mineral that plays a role in blood sugar
regulation. Chromium works with insulin to help transport glucose
into cells. See the kosher product,
Cro-Man-Zin, developed specifically to address
diabetic health issues.
Alpha-Lipoic-Acid– This
‘universal’ anti-oxidant can enhance glucose uptake, inhibit
glycosylation (the non-enzymatic attachment of sugar to protein),
and help promote and maintain eye health. Most health care providers
recommend starting with 100mg a day. See Brabec Basics Alpha-Lipoic-Acid,
each capsule contains 100 mg.
Coenzyme Q-10 (Co-Q10) –
This powerful anti-oxidant has been researched and shown promise in
helping to maintain a healthy heart. Recommended by most experts;
start with 50 – 100 mg per day. OneLifeUSA’s
Co Q-10 product is noted for
its top quality – pharmaceutical grade, from Japan, each softgel cap
contains 50 mg.
