Fight Diabetes with Vitamins and Over the Counter Products |
||
| Diabetes Mellitus is an inherited disease which occurs when the Islands of | ||
| Langerhans on the pancreas are unable to produce enough protein and insulin to | ||
| process the carbohydrates (sugars and starches) we eat. The sugar stays in the | ||
| blood until it spills over into the kidneys and then is output in the urine. | ||
| Symptoms of the disease include extreme thirst, excessive urination, constant | ||
| hunger, loss of weight, itching around the groin, marked fatigue, changes in | ||
| vision, and slow healing of cuts and scratches. Consult your doctor if you have | ||
| any of these symptoms. People who are overweight, over 40 years of age and | ||
| related to known diabetics should be checked regularly. | ||

| Potassium is used by the pancreas during insulin release. Oat Bran contains | ||
| fiber which helps to regulate blood glucose levels. Magnesium is necessary for | ||
| blood clotting and proper insulin function. Chromium Picolinate plays a vital | ||
| role in sensitizing the body’s tissues to the insulin and enhances glucose | ||
| metabolism which will result in suppressing cravings for sweet foods. It is also | ||
| responsible for regulating the efficient metabolism of fats, carbohydrates and | ||
| protein. Vitamin E accelerates wound healing and aids in the functioning of the | ||
| immune system. Vitamin C can help the artherosclerotic condition of diabetic | ||
| arteries while at the same time fight infection and aiding in the healing of the | ||
| skin of the foot. Exercise is also very important in controlling diabetes, because | ||
| because exercise burns sugar just like insulin. Exercise every day if possible, | ||
| however, be careful to consult your doctor before starting any exercise | ||
| program. | ||
