Find Out How A Natural Treatment Reduced Serum Glucose Up To 29%…That National Diabetes Information Clearinghouse recently released statistics¹ showing that 7% of the U.S. population has diabetes. This agency also reported that diabetes is the 6th leading killer as well. It contributes to many health conditions such as: heart attacks, strokes, blindness, high blood pressure, kidney disease, pregnancy complications, and amputations.

Traditional Diabetic Treatments
A common strategy for diabetics is to see a doctor, get some prescription medication, and monitor blood sugar levels. While we hope that doctors care about our healths, the sad truth is that they work together with the pharmaceutical companies.

In January 2006, MSNBC ² reported that some diabetic patients started to get swollen legs and feet, along with blurry vision from taking some prescription medication. One thing to keep in mind is that almost all medications carry possible side-effects. However, something is to be said from something that gets national attention. Close to 6 million patients were taking this medication before the truth was unleashed to the public. Let me ask you this, do you think your doctor is telling you the full story about the medications you are taking?

Using Natural Diabetic Remedies

Using natural remedies can help you control you diabetes. Here are some of the top natural remedies:

Chromium
Cinnamon
Zinc

Chromium
There are many benefits from consuming chromium. It not only lowers blood glucose levels, but it also lowers insulin and cholesterol levels as well. For those of you that don’t consume enough chromium, symptoms such as lack of muscle coordination, tingling, dizziness, fatique, variable blood sugar levels, and alcohol intolerance can come about.

Cinnamon
In 2003, the Diabetes Care³ journal conducted a study that showed that people with Type 2 diabetes had improved glucose and lipids by consuming cinnamon. 60 patients consumed cinnamon at various levels for 40 days. The end result was that these various levels (1, 3, & 6 grams of cinnamon) lowered “serum glucose, triglyceride, LDL cholesterol, and total cholesterol in people with type 2 diabetes”. Serum glucose was lowered up to 29% and LDLs (the bad cholesterol) was lowered up to 26%.

Zinc
This mineral plays a significant role in how the body processes insulin. Studies have shown⁴ that deficiencies in Zinc have shown carbohydrate intolerance. It was also shown that zinc improved the healing of skin ulcerations.
