Diabetes - 1

Diabetes

Almost 200,000 citizens of our country suffer from diabetes, or what is popularly known as diabetes, a condition that seriously threatens the health and function of blood vessels, eyes, kidneys and nerves, and poses a great risk of heart attack, stroke, dementia and other diseases. People with diabetes spend a lot of time and money on examinations, devices and analyzes to measure sugar and apply the prescribed standard therapy all in order to establish good sugar control. But despite standard therapy, tablets or insulin, a large number of people with diabetes fail to establish stable control of glycemia (blood sugar levels), which is why the need to use additional products for diabetics, such as vitamins and other nutritional supplements is even greater and can significantly help improve sugar control and protect the body from unwanted consequences.

What is diabetes and how can nutritional supplements help?

Diabetes (diabetes mellitus) is a metabolic disease of the body in which the use of glucose from the bloodstream by the cells is disturbed, that is, the distribution of glucose inside the cells themselves, where it is used to create energy and perform all life processes. The inability to efficiently enter glucose into the cells occurs due to a lack of insulin or insulin inefficiency, a condition of so-called insulin resistance in which, due to damage to cell membranes, insulin receptors or the insulin molecules themselves, the efficiency of insulin binding is reduced, and the opening of the channels that enable the intake and use of glucose. There are 2 basic types of diabetes:

• type 1 or insulin-dependent diabetes in which, due to autoimmune damage to the pancreas, it does not secrete insulin, and

• type 2 diabetes, which is much more common and is simply due to the gradual development of insulin resistance and the body's inability to use insulin for timely distribution of sugar. So the pancreas secretes insulin, but it fails to get the sugar into the cells.

Whenever glucose from the blood stream cannot be distributed in time inside the cells, it forms free radicals in the blood stream, highly reactive molecules that directly damage the molecules of our body, primarily the molecules of the cell membranes, inside the blood vessels, due to which they occur and more cardiovascular diseases and damage to multiple organs. Standard diabetes medications have only a few mechanisms of action to help regulate sugar, but they do not always manage to provide good control, nor do they work to protect blood vessels from high blood sugar. That is why supplements are needed, which can complementarily help improve regulation in other ways, primarily in:

• reducing insulin resistance,

• improving glucose absorption,

• reducing the glycemic share of food with reduced absorption of sugars and

• protecting blood vessels from harmful glycation radicals.

Benefits of natural products for diabetics

There is a lot of scientific evidence, including clinical studies, that the use of dietary supplements in people with diabetes provides many benefits. And the most important health benefits are:

• Improvement of insulin sensitivity (insulin binding to cell receptors improves and allows sugar to enter),

• Stimulates the production, storage and release of insulin by the pancreas,

• Prevents and reduces oxidative stress in cells from the inner lining of blood vessels, thus reducing their damage and the development of blood vessel diseases, such as atherosclerosis, high pressure and thrombosis,

• Preventing and reducing nerve damage, especially peripheral nerves, and the development of diabetic neuropathy.

How to choose the best supplements for diabetes?

For Type 1 diabetes

Considering that in this type of disease it is necessary to take insulin therapy, in addition it is best to use a supplement with an antioxidant effect such as:

1. RESVERATRO COMPLEX - a combination of pure resveratrol, black goji extracts, a source of anthocyanins, green tea extract source of EGCG and olive leaf extract source of oleuropein, all 4 powerful antioxidants that help reduce oxidative stress on blood vessels and nerves;

2. BILBERY EXTRACT - wild blueberry extract, which thanks to the content of polyphenolic compounds - anthocyanins, helps to reduce free radical damage to blood vessel cells and can help protect the eyes, kidneys, nerves, heart and brain.

For Type 2 diabetes

Here we recommend a combination of supplements that will directly reduce insulin resistance with antioxidant protection products:

1. DIABETOL FORTE - a combination of alpha lipoic acid, bitter melon extracts, cinnamon, zinc and chromium. It helps in reducing insulin resistance and improving insulin efficiency, glucose transport in cells, reducing sugar absorption, improving insulin production and antioxidant protection of blood vessels and protecting nerves from the development and progression of neuropathy.

2. BITTER MELON EXTRACT - bitter melon extract that contains ingredients that act like vegetable insulin and improve its function and the transport of glucose in cells.

3. RESVERATRO COMPLEX - resveratrol combined with extracts of black goji, green tea and olive leaf, the best combination of antioxidants that will protect blood vessels from the damage that free glycation radicals that occur in diabetes can do.

4. BILBERY EXTRACT - wild blueberry extract, for antioxidant protection

5. GREEN TEA EXTRACT - green tea extract, for antioxidant protection.
