Overview

There has been an alarming increase in diabetes in recent years - an estimated 1.6 million people in the UK have diabetes and probably as many people again will have diabetes but have yet to be diagnosed. This makes it one of the fastest growing medical conditions of our time. Diabetes is influenced by genetics, but a number of other causes, such as obesity, the metabolic syndrome, hyperglycaemia, and poor diet, can be altered with natural therapies.While insulin and other conventional treatments can help manage diabetes, the therapies outlined in "" Natural Supplements for Diabetes"" provide safe and effective options for diabetics. Numerous vitamins, minerals, herbs and other nutrients can help prevent or control diabetes. This book examines clinically proven dietary strategies, supplements and lifestyle changes. It discusses: the importance of a healthy diet; nutritional supplements for treating diabetes; the benefits of exercise; specific recommendations for treating women and children with diabetes. The book, also, looks at natural options for alleviating some of the complications of diabetes, such as cardiovascular disease, eye problems, foot problems, kidney disease, thyroid imbalances and impotence. The science behind the use of specific nutrients is thoroughly documented throughout.
