Blood Sugar
Back to Health Concerns
Printable Version
Blood sugar imbalances can signify a disorder in carbohydrate, fat, and protein metabolism, and can lead to hypoglycemia and/or diabetes. Chronic blood sugar problems greatly increase the risk of adrenal exhaustion, heart disease, stroke, kidney disease, and loss of nerve function. Diet and lifestyle factors play a significant role in regulating blood sugar levels. Incorporating key nutritional supplements and making positive dietary and lifestyle modifications can make a dramatic health difference. It is essential that diabetic individuals consult with their physician and carefully monitor their blood sugar levels because insulin requirements or drug levels may need to be adjusted when changing or adding elements in your diet.

ESTER C
Vitamin C plays an important role as an antioxidant, immune enhancer, and manufacturer of collagen. It is vital for wound healing, healthy gums, and preventing easy bruising. Many people with blood sugar imbalances can suffer from a deficiency of Vitamin C inside their cells. Adding Vitamin C can help reduce the risk of complications, such as capillary degradation, poor wound healing, elevated cholesterol, and a weakened immune system. Pathway ESTER C® PLUS is gentle on the stomach and contains powerful helper nutrients quercetin and turmeric, for added anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects.

Optional Products for Blood Pressure
ALPHA LIPOIC ACID
Alpha lipoic acid is an antioxidant able to scavenge both water and fat-soluble free radicals within cells or in intracellular spaces. Alpha lipoic acid also extends the life of Vitamin C and E. In fact, alpha lipoic acid has been used in Germany for over 30 years to successfully address diabetic neuropathy in dosages of 300 mg to 600 mg daily. Alpha lipoic acid also improves glucose metabolism, increases insulin sensitivity, improves blood flow to peripheral nerves, and stimulates the regeneration of nerve fibers. Alpha lipoic acid plays a crucial role in the metabolism of both fats and carbohydrates into energy.

VITAMIN E
Vitamin E is an antioxidant that protects cellular membranes from damage and has been found to have a beneficial affect on diabetic complications. For example, Vitamin E helps to prevent free radical damage to LDL cholesterol, improves the functioning of blood vessels, enhances the rate of transmission for electrical impulses through the nervous system, increases blood flow to the eye, and addresses diabetic retinopathy. Pathway's SUPER E 400 is an unesterified mix of 400IU of natural d-alpha, beta, delta, and gamma-tocopherol. This comprehensive blend gives you even more complete benefits than just d-alpha tocopherol taken alone. Research has also suggested that un-esterified Vitamin E is better absorbed than esterified forms.
