Good Sugars For Diabetics

Diabetes is quickly becoming an epidemic in the United States. The Center for Disease Control states that in each 24 hour period: 2800 new diabetics are diagnosed 550 die from diabetes related complaints 240 have major amputations 150 have kidney failure 70-75 go blind

Diabetes simply means that the glucose in your blood has reached excessive levels. Symptoms include: chronic hunger, chronic thirst, unexplained weight loss, circulation problems, neuropathy, diabetic retinopathy, and hypertension.

When a person eats sugars the pancreas releases insulin. Insulin is responsible for utilizing sugar in our body. If you ingest more sugar than your body can produce insulin for, over time your body becomes inefficient at metabolizing the sugar. If your pancreas is damaged (example - coxsackie virus) it will be unable to produce enough insulin to metabolize the sugars you ingest. Diabetes is a progressive disease and is not something to be taken lightly.

We can actually prevent and reverse disease. The National Institutes of Health states that 58% decrease in diabetes can be achieved by lifestyle changes alone! Avoid high glycemic foods, exercise, nutritional supplements are a few of the things we can do to help protect ourselves.

Healing Sugars

Glycobiology is the study of a group of saccharides (sugars) called glyconutrients that are essential to proper cellular function. New research has revealed the fact that these biologically active sugars are critical for the transfer of all biological data between each of our 600 trillion cells. Every cell in our body communicates by utilizing a Braille-like alphabet of eight glyconutrients. If a person is missing any of these necessary sugars their cells cannot communicate properly.

Glyconutrients serve as the body's intercellular messengers to communicate all that is required for proper function of each and every individual cell. For this cell-to-cell communication, cells use at least eight specific carbohydrates to "speak" to each other. As your cells touch each other, they communicate over this "sugar code" everything a cell needs: nutrition, repair, hormones, etc. Without these sugars, your body's "operating system" breaks down. If you are deficient in any one of these glyconutrients your cells are not able to properly exchange information, which may result in a miscommunication and dysfunction, making the cell susceptible to disease. Example: if your immune system mistakenly attacks your own cells, then you have an autoimmune disease.
Tip! Middle aged diabetics also develop tears of the rotator cuff and this can lead to a secondary frozen shoulder. Rotator cuff is group of tendons on top of the shoulder which help to stabilize the joint.

The most important nutrient is the one that is missing. The only way to be sure you are getting all eight of the sugars is to supplement your diet with a glyconutrient complex. No combination of vitamins, minerals, amino acids, herbals, or any other nutrient can replace the necessary saccharides found in glyconutritionals.

Glyconutritional Intervention in Diabetes

In a study of 32 diabetics who added glyconutritionals to their diet 97% reported improvement in symptoms. 44% were able to reduce their need for medications and 13% were able to come off meds completely. Please note that we make no claim for cure or healing diabetes. However when you supply what the body is missing, the body has the amazing ability to repair itself.
Tip! Herbs may be used as part of a natural cure for diabetics and include licorice, yarrow, Canadian fleabane and Jerusalem artichoke.
