People with diabetes may have all natural citrus supplement
Date:4/9/2008

SAN DIEGO, CA., April 9. . . Two new studies presented at the Experimental Biology Annual Meeting suggest that an all-natural dietary supplement made from citrus may help people with type 2 diabetes lower their blood glucose numbers after a meal and their LDL-cholesterol levels.

Mal Evans, DVM, MSc, PhD, KGK Synergize Incs Scientific Director, said, Our scientifically validated testing has consistently shown that Diabetinol improves blood glucose numbers. This time we saw a sizeable change in glucose intolerance in just a short time. This is good news for many of the 21 million Americans with diabetes. Tighter blood sugar control may mean less diabetic complications like nerve pain and kidney disease. And, that could mean less disability and expense from complications and associated medications and certainly less stress for the patient.

Although there were no statistically significant changes in fasting blood glucose levels in either group, the Diabetinol-treated subjects demonstrated an excellent favorable downward trend in their hemoglobin A1C levels. These results suggest that when administered to people with type 2 diabetes over a longer treatment period, Diabetinol significantly improves glucose tolerance or the blood glucose numbers following a meal.

Additionally, the Diabetinol-treated group showed improvements in LDL-cholesterol levels. An elevated LDL-cholesterol level is a risk factor for heart disease, and having type 2 diabetes increases an individuals risk for developing heart disease two to four times. In fact, sixty-five percent of deaths from diabetes are related to cardiovascular causes such as heart attack and stroke, said Evans.

Hemoglobin A1C is an indicator of average blood glucose control over two to three months and is correlated to an individuals risk of developing diabetic complications such as diseases of the eye, kidney and nerves.

In a pilot study, twenty adults with diabetes who w
