Diabetes Support Supplements, a new product from ProactiveLife contains Magnesium which may provide health benefits for people at risk of developing Type 2 Diabetes

New research shows magnesium found in Diabetes Support Supplements may lower the risk of developing type 2 diabetes

Magnesium according to several recently published may provide protections against developing type 2 diabetes for people at risk.  Diabetes Support supplements contains magnesium to assist people improve their overall health by combining diet, exercise and natural supplements.

In a meta-analysis of thirteen published studies the journal of Diabetes Care looked at the potential benefits of magnesium. The conclusion was impressive.  “This meta-analysis provides further evidence supporting that magnesium intake is significantly inversely associated with risk of type 2 diabetes in a dose-response manner.”

According to Diabetes.UK, a study conducted by Liebig University in Germany and published in the journal Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism investigated the use of oral magnesium supplements for increasing insulin resistance . They monitored 52 overweight and insulin resistant patients, and who were not suffering from diabetes, over a period of six months, with half of them receiving active magnesium supplements and the other half a placebo. It was shown that those who had taken the supplement had much healthier blood sugar levels, as well as an improvement in their insulin sensitivity.

The report pointed out that "The results provide significant evidence that oral magnesium supplementation improves insulin sensitivity even in overweight, non-diabetes subjects, emphasizing the need for an early optimization of magnesium status to prevent insulin resistance and subsequently type 2 diabetes."

In the June 2011 issue of Clinical Nutrition researchers from Brazil studied 51 type 2 diabetics and measured their magnesium levels.  What they found was a clear association between magnesium levels and blood glucose levels.  Of the people studied 77% were deficient in magnesium and the lower their magnesium level the higher their glucose levels measured.

Diabetes Support Supplements contains one gram of pure cinnamon to assist in healthy blood sugar levels and provide cardiovascular support Diabetes Support contains pure cinnamon and according to previous studies cinnamon has a positive effect on fasting glucose levels for those with Type 2 Diabetes.  In a study published in European Journal of Clinical Investigation, “The cinnamon extract seems to have a moderate effect in reducing fasting plasma glucose concentrations in diabetic patients with poor glycaemic control.” According to the study. “A total of 79 patients with diagnosed diabetes mellitus type 2 not on insulin therapy but treated with oral antidiabetics or diet were randomly assigned to take either a cinnamon extract or a placebo capsule three times a day for 4 months in a double-blind study. The amount of aqueous cinnamon extract corresponded to 3 g of cinnamon powder per day. The mean absolute and percentage differences between the pre- and post-intervention fasting plasma glucose level of the cinnamon and placebo groups were significantly different. There was a significantly higher reduction in the cinnamon group (10·3%) than in the placebo group (3·4%). No significant intragroup or intergroup differences were observed regarding HbA1c, lipid profiles or differences between the pre- and postintervention levels of these variables. The decrease in plasma glucose correlated significantly with the baseline concentrations, indicating that subjects with a higher initial plasma glucose level may benefit more from cinnamon intake. No adverse effects were observed.” ProactiveLife was founded in 2011 to help people take control of their health.

Diabetes Support Supplements, a New Product from ProactiveLife Contains 2 grams of Omega 3 Fish Oil

Omega 3 May Reduce Risk of Developing Type 2 Diabetes and Heart Disease According to Recent Studies

Diabetes Support contains 2 grams of pure Omega 3 fish oil which according to a recent study shows it may benefit people with Type 2 Diabetes.  Numerous studies in the past decade have shown clinical support for the use of omega 3 fatty acids supplements to assist in reducing the risk of heart disease and stroke.  A study published in Nutrition and Metabolism is the first to show how omega 3 fatty acids play a role in metabolic processes with respects to blood sugar and fat processing; reducing the risk of developing type 2 diabetes.  Professor Brier leads an international research team and indicates omega 3 fatty acids improve carbohydrate and fat metabolism.  A diet rich in omega 3 fatty acids helps to burn metabolic fuels (glucose and fat) better, and can regulate energy storage across different tissues.  “These findings are important because the ageing process is closely linked with a higher risk of developing metabolic syndrome – a clustering of risk factors for heart disease, diabetes and obesity,” says Professor Breier, Chair of Human Nutrition at the Institute of Food, Nutrition and Human Health at Albany. Type 2 Diabetes is reaching epidemic proportions with nearly 26 million confirmed diabetics and 79 million pre-diabetics in the Unites States.  Spending on diabetes will exceed $180 billion in 2012 according to US government statistics.

Diabetes Support Supplements a New Product from ProactiveLife Contains Chromium Which May Provide Benefit for People with Type 2 Diabetes

Chromium highlighted in two studies shows a reduction in A1C and Glucose Levels

Diabetes Support Supplements a new product from ProactiveLife contains chromium to help lower blood sugar levels.  It has been known for sometime approximately 90% of American diets are low in chromium.  Chromium is an essential mineral that plays a role in how insulin helps the body regulate blood sugar levels and is now found in Diabetes Support Supplements. Insulin is a hormone that your body uses to change sugar, starches, and other food into energy needed for daily life. There is evidence for those with diabetes taking a chromium supplement may help lower blood sugar levels.  

People with diabetes either do not make enough insulin or cannot properly use the insulin that their bodies make. As a result, glucose or sugar builds up in the bloodstream.

According to the University of Maryland Medical Center, “In one double-blind, placebo-controlled study, people with type 2 diabetes who took chromium picolinate had better HbA1c values -- used to measure long-term control of blood sugar levels -- than those who took placebo. The group taking chromium also had better fasting blood glucose levels, a measure of short-term control of blood sugar levels.

Another double-blind, placebo-controlled study looked at a combination of chromium and biotin. Half the people in the study took chromium picolinate and biotin, and the other half took placebo. Those who took chromium and biotin had better fasting glucose levels as well as HbA1c values.”

Understanding why we should stay fit will help to remind you of one simple fact…. ‘Health is your biggest wealth’,” by Michael Stirk expert trainer and former US Navy helicopter rescue swimmer.

“If you have type 2 diabetes, your doctor probably encouraged you to make some dietary changes to help get your blood sugar under control. If you understand that blood sugar control is needed to the prevent complications of diabetes, you have an important reason to continually remind you "why" you need to make this change. For any change to last, the reason has to be important to you.” by Gretchen Scalpi (registered dietitian,  certified diabetes educator, and certified Wellcoach®).

Turmeric Found in Diabetes Support Supplements, a new product by ProactiveLife Provides a Wide Range of Health Benefits

Recent studies add to the mounting evidence turmeric may provide anti-inflammatory as well as heart health benefits

Diabetes Support Supplements contains pure turmeric and new research from Penn State and Chiang Mai University of Thailand finds the spice may do the heart good by lowering triglyceride and insulin levels and by providing cardiovascular protection post by-pass surgery.  

The Penn State study looked at certain cardiac markers and how turmeric impacted those markers.  "Elevated triglycerides are a risk factor for heart disease," explains researcher Sheila West.  Her study concluded that incorporating turmeric in an otherwise high fat meal actually lowered triglycerides and insulin levels.  Levels dropped by about one third for those using turmeric in the meal.  "It was surprising," West told us.

Turmeric Extracts May Protect Heart Post-Surgery

From EveryDay Health

MONDAY, April 16, 2012 — If you love turmeric, it might just love you back.

"Turmeric, the bright yellow spice used in curries and some mustards, is showing promise in preventing heart attack among bypass surgery patients. A new study by researchers from Chiang Mai University in Thailand suggests that a key ingredient in turmeric — called curcumin —  might help traditional treatments work even better.

Bypass surgery restores blood flow to the heart muscle by diverting, or bypassing, blood around a blocked heart artery. While this reduces risk of heart attack in the long-term, earlier heart damage can still put you at risk soon after surgery.

Researchers looked at 121 patients (on average 61 years old) who underwent scheduled cardiac bypass surgery. Three days before surgery until five days post-op, one group took 4 grams per day of encapsulated curcuminoids. The other group took a placebo.

Among the curcuminoid group, only 13.1 percent had heart attacks during recovery after surgery, compared to 30 percent of the placebo group. Researchers concluded that patients in the curcuminoid group had a 65 percent lower chance of heart attack, according to Reuters.

What is it about curcuminoids that helps protect against heart attack? "The antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects of curcuminoids may account for their cardioprotective effects shown in this study," the study authors write in their report.

Though promising, this small study probably won't set any new precedents for curcuminoids post-bypass just yet."

Diabetes Support Supplements, a new product from ProactiveLife contains ALPHA-LIPOIC ACID which may assist people experiencing peripheral neuropathy

ALPHA-LIPOIC ACID a fatty acid antioxidant may provide some relief for people experiencing peripheral neuropathy

Diabetes Support contains alpha-lipoic acid and according to recent studies it may provide assistance for people experiencing peripheral neuropathy.  

Alpha-lipoic acid is an antioxidant made by the body and found in every cell. It assists in turning glucose into energy.  Antioxidants are known to attack "free radicals,"  which are by-products when the body turns food into energy.  The effects of free radicals make it harder for the body to fight off infection and can also lead to organ and tissue damage.  

“In several studies, alpha-lipoic acid appears to help lower blood sugar levels. Its ability to kill free radicals may help people with peripheral neuropathy, who have pain, burning, itching, tingling, and numbness in arms and legs from nerve damage.” according to University of Maryland Medical Center

According to WebMD, “Alpha-lipoic acid seems to help prevent certain kinds of cell damage in the body, and also restores vitamin levels such as vitamin E and vitamin C. There is also evidence that alpha-lipoic acid can improve the function and conduction of neurons in diabetes.  Alpha-lipoic acid is used in the body to break down carbohydrates and to make energy for the other organs in the body.”

Vitamin D Found in Diabetes Support Supplements by ProactiveLife May Reduce the Risk of Cardiovascular Death

Vitamin D levels may predict cardiovascular disease mortality in people with metabolic syndrome

Diabetes SupportSupplements by ProactiveLife contains vitamin D3 and a number of recently published studies are shedding light on its cardiovascular health benefits. 

In a study released by the journal Diabetes Care on March 7, 2012 it concluded optimal vitamin D levels lowered all causes of cardiovascular disease mortality in people with metabolic syndrome.  “We observed a 75% and 69% reduction in all-cause and cardiovascular disease mortality, respectively, in those with optimal levels compared with those with severe 25(OH)D deficiency.”

In a previous study published in the journal Diabetes Care it showed a 24% reduction in diabetes risk for people with higher levels of vitamin D as compared with people with lower levels of vitamin D.  "There are indications that vitamin D is of importance in glucose metabolism, and that supplementation with vitamin D may increase both insulin secretion and insulin sensitivity," according to a report in ClinicalTrials.gov

Additionally, according to the Mayo Clinic, “In recent studies, adults given vitamin D supplementation were shown to improve insulin sensitivity.”

“Another study, led by Dr Jonathan Emberson (University of Oxford, UK), showed that there was a 17%, 24%, and 21% lower risk of vascular death, nonvascular death, and all-cause mortality in individuals with high serum 25(OH) vitamin D3 compared with subjects with low serum levels enrolled in the Whitehall study.” TheHeart.org
