Diabetes and Blood Sugar
GLYCO-CONTROL: One of the latest INS
The estimated number of French at about 2.5 million diabetics. This figure is added another 800 000 people who have diabetes without knowing it. Diabetes is a real public health problem and the numbers continue to grow, unfortunately! ...
Diabetes is characterized by chronic hyperglycemia, that is to say, a blood glucose (sugar) abnormally high in the blood. Glucose is essential for energy production and proper functioning of cells, but it can become harmful when in excess. In a healthy person, its concentration in the blood is regulated by a hormone synthesized by the pancreas: insulin. However, with age or obesity, insulin can not be produced in enough, resulting in an increase in blood glucose.
Other factors may contribute to this failure:hereditary factors, aging, sedentary lifestyle, unhealthy diet ...
How to explain the strong relationship between obesity and diabetes? In fact, excess fatty tissue disrupts the proper functioning of insulin, sugar is so poorly absorbed by the cells and is found in large quantities in the blood.
Chronic hyperglycemia leads ultimately to a deterioration of blood vessels and nerves and can lead to various complications:
- Renal failure,
- Diabetic retinopathy (blindness forward)
- Impotence,
- Myocardial infarction, arterial,
- Gangrene of the extremities (especially the toes)
- Polyneuritis,
- Multiple mononeuropathies,
- Autonomic neuropathy,
- Plantar perforating ulcer,
- Infections (more frequent and severe)
- Fetal malformations in pregnancy.
People withglucose higher than normal, that is to say greater than 1.26 g / liter fasting, must then pay attention to their lifestyle (diet, weight control, physical activity ...). To help control blood sugar, a micro-nutritional support can be effective and complementary to conventional treatment.
Indeed, various natural ingredients help to regulate blood glucose and limit the deleterious effects of an excess of it. Among them are: Cinnamon, a major natural extract, known for its effectiveness in the regulation of glucose metabolism. Its bark, naturally rich in catechins, contributes to insulin metabolism and thus promotes the maintenance of normal glucose in the blood. Several scientific studies indicate that it contains properties of compounds related to insulin (polyphenols) that would allow and a significant decrease in blood glucose and thus be beneficial in the fight against diabetes1.2.
In order to help regulate blood sugar naturally, INELDEA Laboratories have developed GLYCO-CONTROL ®, an exclusive formula that exploits the virtues recognized including cinnamon bark and can be used in prevention or in addition to 'medical treatment.
GLYCO-CONTROL ®, Nutraceutical Ineldea Solutions (INS)
Take control of your blood sugar naturally!
GLYCO-CONTROL ® combines the virtues of Cinnamon, one of Fenugreek. Titled in saponins, it acts synergistically with cinnamon to regulate carbohydrate metabolism naturally and insulin. Clinical studies have shown that it can be a good adjuvant for people with diabetes 3.4. Saponins thatit contains have the ability to stimulate insulin production and improve the sensitivity of the body to the hormone.
Other extracts, equally effective, complete the form Glyco-Control ® for optimal synergistic action:
- Glutathione reduces the oxidative stress, infections and circulatory problems generated when blood glucose is high 5.
- Zinc acts synergistically with glutathione, due to its antioxidant and protects insulin from the attacks of free radicals, allowing it to maintain its activity.
- Chromium is an excellent mineral that increases the sensitivity of the body to insulin to restore normal glucose levels.
GLYCO-CONTROL ® is thus a natural and effective solution to help maintain a healthy blood sugar in the blood and thus prevent problems that may be related to an excess of it.
