Nutritional support to help stabilize irregular blood sugar levels. Insulin controls the amount of glucose (sugar) in the blood and the rate at which glucose is absorbed into the cells. People suffering from diabetes produce insufficient insulin resulting in hyperglycemia (abnormally high glucose levels in the blood). Chronic hyperglycemia results in common complications associated with diabetes such as retinopathy, neuropathy, nephropathy and heart disease. There are 2 types of diabetes: Type 1 diabetes, which is less common, and results from the body destroying its own insulin and Type 2 diabetes, which is more common and risk factors include poor diet, obesity, race, age, lack of exercise and hereditary factors. The combination of a controlled diet together with Glycemic Control will ensure stable blood sugar levels thereby delaying the onset of any complications.
