End the American Health Crisis | Stop Sugar Rage
Nurses Know that 20.8 million Americans have sugar challenges...it is an ever growing epidemic that can lead to a number of serious, sometimes life-threatening complications.
Nurses Know that the disease process is not pretty. Not only do the sugar blues make you feel bad and moody, it leaves you with little to no energy.
In addition sugar challenges:
* can lead to blindness
*can be the cause loss of toes, feet and even your leg
*...not to mention loss of sex function
*statistics tell us 65% of folks with sugar challenges die from heart disease and stroke
___________________________________________________________________________________
It's time to change the statistics. You are not just a number. You are a human being with feelings and you want to enjoy life, you want to enjoy your friends and family. You deserve to keep all your toes. You deserve to see the smile of your grandkids.
Can Science help us?
There is hope. Finally a Solution to These Health Challenges
Here is what Scientists know:

Sugar Diabetes - Are you sick of the sugar blues?
You may not be alone. By the year 2025 there will be 300 million people with sugar diabetes. Diabetes causes about 60,000 deaths a year in the US.
Not only does sugar blues make you feel bad, it can lead to blindness, kidney failure and circulatory problems which can lead to loss of your toes and even your leg.
Public health officals say if Type II diabetes was an infectious disease, passed from one person to another, we would be in the midst of an epidemic. This difficult disease is striking an ever-growing number of adults. Even more alarming, it’s no beginning to show up in teenagers and children.
Are you playing Russian roulette with Blood Sugar?
Your cells use glucose to create energy, so glucose imbalance can lead to break down of essential body functions.
Diabetics with an elevated blood sugar do not absorb micronutrients and often have an excess excretion of vitamins and minerals through the urine. Loss of Vita C., magnesium, Vita E (which is critical for diabetic) and of course antioxidants further enhance the situation.
Scientist know that certain nutrients play an important part with sugar challenges.
Vitamin E – 400 I.U per day. Vitamin E may prevent diabetic complication through its antioxidant activity, the inhibition of the platelet-releasing reaction and platelet aggregation, increasing HDL-cholesterol levels. The most impressive study on Vit E. and diabetes used a total of 1350 I.U of d-alpha-tocopheryl acetate daily, divided into three doses. It may require three months to see the benefits. Warning: limit to 400 if high blood pressure problems.
Vitamin C – is needed to lower sorbitol in diabetes. Sorbitol is a sugar that can accumulate and damage the eyes, nerves and kidneys. The amount recommended per day is at least 200-400 mgs.
Vitamin B-6 – Diabetics with neuropathy have been shown to be deficient in Vitamin B6 and benefit from supplementation. About 2 mg. of B6 per day will do.
Vitamin B12 – is needed for normal function of nerve cells. This vitamin taken orally, intravenously, or by injection reduces nerve damage caused by diabetes in most people.
Biotin – works synergistically with insolent.
Niacin – About 500-700 mg per day for one month followed by 250 mg per day thereafter.
Chromium – Chromium is critical nutrient for diabetes. It has been demonstrated to decrease fasting glucose levels, improve glucose tolerance, lower insulin levels and decrease total cholesterol and triglyceride levels, while increasing HDL-cholesterol levels. Amount per day 200 mcg per day, yet some doctors recommend 1000mcg per day.
Manganese – Manganese is key enzyme to glucose metabolism.
Magnesium – Helps lower blood sugar levels. Helps eyes. About 300-400 mg. per day.
Vanadium – found in plan and animals. This normalizes blood glucose.
Potassium – improves insulin sensitivity, responsiveness and secretion in diabetics.
Zinc – is involved in virtually all aspects of insulin metabolism. Also has a protective effect against beta cell destruction. Should take about 15-50 mg per day. Also 1-2 milligrams of copper to maintain a proper mineral balance.
CoQ10 - great antioxidant that fights free radicals and normalizes carbohydrate metabolism. Take about 50 milligrams twice daily for three months, and then reduce to 30 daily.
Inositol – Inositol is needed for normal nerve function. Diabetes causes nerve damage or diabetic neuropathy. Take 500 mg. twice daily.
Caritine - Only take about 5000 I.U of vitamin A supplements. Do not take over 10,000. To much can cause birth defects.
As I was looking over the needs of a Diabetic I found that GluCare has some very good ingredients to help stabilize diabetes. IT WILL NO CURE DIABETES. There is no place that I found where anything could cure a dis-functional pancreas. I did find that if you could catch the disease as it begins to increase, then you can keep it under control without the insulin and all.
