Are you one of the 20 million Americans with a blood sugar imbalance?

Or one of the 54 million Americans with borderline blood sugar problems?

Do you have a family history of blood sugar troubles?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, it’s important you keep reading.

If you notice you’re urinating more often… hungrier than usual… fatigued… irritable… having tingling sensations in your hands or feet… or slow to heal from cuts and bruises, you may need to be screened for blood sugar problems.

However, some people may not experience any of these symptoms so this possible serious condition can silently do damage without you even knowing it!

The University of Maryland School of Medicine in Baltimore reports that by the time a blood sugar-related health problem is diagnosed, many people have lost 50 percent of the function of their pancreas. And statistics show that more than 20 percent of those diagnosed are NOT overweight! Surprised?

This is because genetics and environment play an important role in your health, including key factors such as age, family history, exposure to toxins, prescription drug use and stress.

So how do I recommend you combat blood sugar problems and avoid insulin imbalance, high cholesterol levels, poor immune function and kidney problems?

Try these six helpful suggestions:

1. Reduce your weight by at least 7 percent.
2. Exercise 30 minutes a day on a regular basis.
3. Switch to a low-carbohydrate, high-fiber diet.
4. Strive to get seven to eight hours of sleep each night.
5. Find ways to help manage feelings of stress, depression and anger.
6. Consider supplementing with natural nutrients scientifically proven to help regulate your blood sugar levels.

By incorporating these tips, plus safe and effective nutrients into your daily routine, you can help fight insulin imbalance and avoid declining health by keeping your blood sugar problems at bay.

Here are several nutrients to consider:

Gymnema Sylvestre—Nicknamed the “sugar destroyer,” this amazing nutrient has been shown to help regulate fasting blood sugar levels and improve blood sugar. Plus, it can also help put an end to food cravings and enhance your insulin sensitivity so your cells are able to accept the glucose to fuel your body. It’s also been shown to actually help repair and grow new pancreatic beta cells.

Chromium—Known as the “insulin booster” this powerful nutrient helps bind insulin to the cells for more energy, increases the number of insulin receptors in your body, as well as activates them to boost insulin sensitivity and keep blood sugar levels stable and in the normal range. Patients taking chromium have reported an 85 percent improvement in frequent urination, fatigue and excessive thirst.

Methylhydroxychalcone polymer (MHCP)—Found in the common apple pie spice “cinnamon,” this accidental discovery has proven to mimic insulin and help transport glucose to your cells, activate insulin receptors to allow glucose through the “gates” of your cells, plus it works synergistically with insulin in cells boosting you when you need it most, but not overloading you when you don’t. Studies have shown patients taking MHCP experienced fewer blood sugar spikes after eating, decreased LDL (bad) cholesterol levels and lowered blood glucose levels.

These are just a few of the scientifically proven nutrients that can offer protection from blood sugar imbalance.
