Herbal Supplements: A Wise Choice for Blood Sugar Issues*

Did you know that studies show that less than 25% of people with bood sugar imbalances are able to achieve adequate blood sugar control with drugs (oral agents) such as Glyburide and Glucophage?

Good control is important in limiting the damaging effects of high blood sugar levels on the body.

Of those patients that do respond adequately to drugs, about 25% become resistant to the drugs and require increases in their dosages. And drugs are not aimed at correcting the problem so there is no prospect of cure. They are aimed at controlling blood sugar levels.

Drugs can also cause side effects such as flu-like symptoms, heart and kidney problems, bowel problems, and depressed mood.

High blood sugar and High Blood Pressure commonly occur together. Unfortunately, certain blood pressure medicines (like beta blockers and calcium channel blockers) can decrease the body's sensitivity to insulin by 10-40%. Likewise, drugs for high blood sugar can sometimes worsen the cardiovascular complications and High Blood Pressure.

In some cases, herbs can help lower blood sugar levels. In fact, some patients managed with herbs are able to get their blood sugars down and remain normal off the herbs.*

Herbs can also be used in combination with drugs to help lower blood sugar levels and the side effects of herbal supplements are minimal.*
