Top 4 DRUG-FREE Blood Sugar Regulators
Wouldn’t it be fantastic if you could control your blood sugar without taking a single drug?
Well, I’ve got good news for you…
You CAN.
Of course, it should go without saying that three of the top metabolism influencers—diet, exercise, and minding your circadian rhythm—are big players in making that happen.
However, a handful of powerful supplements also can remarkably IMPROVE insulin sensitivity and REDUCE blood sugar levels.
Following are details on four of the best…
The most popular natural blood sugar regulator or our short list today is probably plain old cinnamon.
Studies show that cinnamon decreases insulin resistance and boosts the removal of sugar from your bloodstream.
It doesn’t take much, either. Half a teaspoon daily can reduce blood sugar by up to 25 percent! Try sprinkling it into some plain Greek yogurt or oatmeal.
Berberine is next on my list. This natural compound is found in plants that have been used in traditional medicine for ages, including goldenseal, barberry, and tree turmeric.
Research reveals that, in some cases, berberine can improve insulin sensitivity and production, performing as well as the number one diabetes drug, metformin.
Aloe vera also enhances your body’s response to insulin while improving common symptoms like fatigue and thirst.
While you’re probably familiar with using aloe vera topically to soothe irritated skin, you’ll need to take an aloe vera supplement to get its blood-sugar benefits.
Last but not least on our top four list for today is magnesium. This potent mineral plays MANY critical roles in the body, including helping control your glucose and insulin metabolism.
So, it’s not surprising that type 2 diabetics are often deficient in magnesium.
In studies on people with type 2 diabetes, boosting magnesium levels with supplements improved fasting glucose levels and lowered systolic blood pressure.
Of course, if you already have type 2 diabetes, DON’T stop taking your medication. But DO talk to your doctor about adding these options to your usual blood-sugar management program.
