Dr. G’s Top 3 Natural Ways to Lower Blood Sugar

Diabetes sure is a drag. 

If you follow the perfect diet, you might be able to keep your blood sugar in check. 

But who wants to do that? 

Fortunately, there are three natural supplements that have been proven to help regulate blood sugar…  

And you won’t have to make a single change to your diet. 

Time and again, the one tasty spice with proven blood sugar benefits is cinnamon. Many studies show that cinnamon can help lower your blood sugar levels and improve your insulin sensitivity. 

In fact, compared to people receiving standard care, type 2 diabetics who took cinnamon for just 90 days experienced DOUBLE the reduction in their hemoglobin A1C levels. 

Other studies have shown that using the cassia form of cinnamon caused fasting glucose to fall between 10 and 29%. 

Chromium can also help regulate blood sugar levels. Specifically, chromium picolinate can help curb insulin resistance – one of the underlying causes of type 2 diabetes. 

It can also boost the actions of insulin, which helps make sure sugar makes it into your cells and stays out of your bloodstream. 

Chromium is a trace mineral that is found in foods like broccoli, potatoes, and whole grains. You can also get chromium picolinate supplements online. 

Finally, a compound in many fruits and vegetables called quercetin is beneficial for people with metabolic syndrome. This is a collection of conditions like high blood pressure, high blood sugar, and excess body fat that increase your risk of diabetes, as well as heart disease and stroke. 

A study shows that when people with metabolic syndrome took 500 mg of quercetin a day for eight weeks experienced lower blood sugar levels. 

You can supplement with quercetin, but talk to your doctor first because it can interact with certain medications.  

You can also get it through foods like citrus fruits, green leafy vegetables, olive oil, and berries.
