Diabetes and Glyconutrients 

Besides the fact that the disease is genetic, excess carbohydrates and nutritional deficiencies can cause the onset of diabetes.

The human body breaks down carbohydrates into sugar which then enters your blood stream. The more carbohydrates your body consumes, the more elevated your blood sugar becomes. In response to this effect, the human body produces insulin which pushes the blood sugar into the cells for energy storage.

Following years of carbohydrate intake, the body’s cells may begin to suffer from insulin resistance, meaning that the body can no longer produce enough insulin to push the blood sugar into the cells. This is the process by which Type 2 Diabetes develops.

The way to treat Type 2 Diabetes is to reignite the spark that makes your body’s cells sensitive to insulin, helping the body transfer the sugar out of the blood and into the cells.

One of the ways this is done is by taking Insulin. However, the effects of taking too much insulin may include Heart Disease, Hardening of the Arteries, Damage to Artery Walls, Increased Cholesterol Levels, Vitamin & Mineral Deficiencies, Kidney Disease, and Weight Gain. Excess Insulin also depletes your body of Chromium, which is essential to proper metabolism and the maintenance of proper sugar levels.

The only way to address the root cause of Type 2 Diabetes to turn your body from a nutrient-depleting, fat-storage machine into a clean, nutrient-rich body that properly burns fat. To do so, you must restrict carbohydrates and take Glyconutrient Supplements.
