Natural remedies for Diabetes type 2
This disorder is
reaching epidemic proportions in the western world.
Obesity and insulin resistance are the
fundamentals associated with this metabolic malfunction.
Insulin is the hormone responsible for getting
glucose into your cells like the proverbial doorman at
your 5 star hotels.
Once you start putting on weight and develop that
spare tire round your midriff then those little fat
cells prevent insulin from doing its job effectively and
when this happens your chances of developing insulin
resistance escalates.
This means that insulin ceases to function
effectively, struggles to get your glucose into your
cells and this is when your blood sugar will start to
climb.
Aside from losing
weight and commencing an exercise regime there are
certain nutrients that will help insulin work better.
These include chromium, alpha-lipoic acid and
possibly vitamin E. Experimental evidence also indicates that alpha-lipoic acid
has the ability to improve cataract symptoms, reduce
nerve damage, prevent kidney injury, limit fructosamine
levels, which means that blood sugar is better
controlled and improve sexual function. Research out of
Aberdeen, Scotland indicates that combining alpha-lipoic
acid with gamma-linolenic, which is found in evening
primrose oil, helps improve erectile function in
laboratory animals and therefore this combination might
just work for humans.
