Dr Whiting on Diabetes and Hypoglycemia

Glucose metabolism disorders such as obesity, hypoglycemia and type II diabetes can produce a cluster of symptoms associated with these problems. Syndrome X is a catchall term for a group of problems that share a common cardinal cause, namely excess insulin in the bloodstream. The problem usually begins in lesser stages and advances as months and years of dietary abuse continue. Carbohydrate intolerance, the first stage of syndrome X, manifests itself as obesity. In fact, over 75 percent of all overweight people have their weight problem due to excess insulin in the body. The next concern is low blood sugar, or hypoglycemia. Excess insulin production and over-active insulin receptor sites cause low blood sugar. Eventually, these problems, if left unchecked, can and do proceed to type II diabetes, a condition of excess insulin and under-active insulin receptor sites. Together, conditions of excess insulin such as obesity, hypoglycemia or low blood sugar and diabetes make up the fastest growing disease epidemic in all industrialized nations. The Institute of Nutritional Science has specialized in syndrome X and the related problems of obesity, hypoglycemia, low blood sugar and diabetes, and offers a three-phase program for both managing and preventing this devastating cycle of disease. Natural alternatives to controlling blood sugar have come a long way in recent years. Chromium, vanadium, alpha lipoic acid and select herbal extracts in key combinations, have shown to lower insulin and blood sugar levels both safely and effectively. Chromium naturally helps to lower blood sugar by sparing glucose usage. Vanadium has a direct effect on the insulin receptor sites of the body, making them much more effective. The end result is lowered insulin requirements. The key in managing conditions such as hypoglycemia and type II diabetes is lowering insulin levels. Chromium, vanadium alpha lipoic acid and key herbal extracts have proved very effective in lowering both insulin and blood sugar levels naturally. If you are significantly overweight and lower calorie diets have not worked well for you in the past, consider taking our Weight Management Test to help discover if your weight problem could be due to excess insulin production in response to carbohydrate ingestion.
