Potent NATURAL Trio Reigns in Rising Blood Sugar
It’s the moment every diabetic dreads. You arrive at your doctor’s office, and he breaks the news.
“You need new meds,” he says gravely, pulling out the prescription pad.
And you were following his advice to the letter. You’ve done your best with your diet, increased your exercise, and dutifully taken metformin daily.
So, your blood sugar SHOULD be under control. But the blood tests tell another story…
“We don’t have much choice,” he says. “The metformin just isn’t cutting it anymore.”
Well, my friend, that’s a bunch of hogwash. Because there IS a choice.
There’s another effective drug-free option to reduce blood sugar you can try FIRST.
Your glucose levels are climbing, and now, your doctor insists it’s time to break out the “big guns.” He wants to put you on the newer heavy-duty drugs you’ve been hoping to avoid.
Well, research has uncovered a safe and natural way to bring blood sugar back under control WITHOUT switching or adding meds.
Metformin may be no picnic. But I think we can agree it’s certainly better than the newer medications when it comes to potential side effects.
After all, they’ve been linked to some pretty horrific conditions, including gangrene and amputation. (See my earlier report “Diabetes Drugs CAUSING Deadly Infections!” for more disturbing details.)
So, the longer you can avoid those new meds, the better.
But for nearly one in three patients, metformin stops working, and blood sugar starts creeping up again within three years. This is why doctors often swap meds or add a second drug to the mix.
But research shows a way you could delay that switch (or stop it altogether) by adding three natural blood-sugar-taming compounds to your daily routine:
- Berberine: a compound from the barberry shrub
- Chromium: an essential trace mineral
- Hesperidin: a flavonoid found in oranges
This trio was tested against a placebo in patients with diabetes who were also taking metformin.
Over 12 weeks, the combo significantly improved HbA1c (a measurement of blood sugar over time) and fasting blood sugar levels.
And that translates to better blood sugar control and a lesser chance of needing newer and stronger diabetes drugs.
The volunteers in the study were given a combo pill. But all three are readily available as single supplements, too. And each one packs its own set of benefits.
You might recognize the first two on the list. Both berberine and chromium are already used by many folks with diabetes.
Hesperidin is less commonly used for diabetes. However, emerging research reveals that the flavonoid can help fight oxidative stress, including inside blood vessels.
This is critical for folks with diabetes since oxidation-triggered damage plays a big role in the development of all kinds of diabetes complications.
Speak to a doctor about trying the trio and the best treatment approach for your situation.
P.S. Food additive SABOTAGES blood sugar.
