This blend will also help with overall body circulation, respiratory health, and capillary volume. There are herbs included to help slow the breakdown of carbs, increase health of the immune system, and help to moderate the glucose and insulin processes. What is Diabetes? Diabetes is a condition where your blood sugar (glucose) levels are too high. Glucose is an important source of energy for the cells that make up the muscles and tissues. It is also the brain’s main source of fuel. It occurs when either your pancreas does not produce enough insulin, or your body becomes unresponsive to insulin’s effects. Insulin is a hormone that helps regulate blood sugar by allowing it to enter cells for energy. The main cause of diabetes varies by type. But no matter what type of diabetes you have, it can lead to excess sugar in the blood. Too much sugar in the blood can lead to serious health problems. Chronic diabetes conditions include type 1 diabetes and type 2 diabetes. Diabetes – Symptoms and causes – Mayo Clinic

What is Pre-Diabetes? Prediabetes is diabetes in evolution. Prediabetes is a health condition characterized by higher-than-normal blood sugar levels that are not yet high enough to be classified as type 2 diabetes. It serves as a critical warning sign, indicating an individual’s heightened risk of progressing to diabetes if effective measures are not implemented to manage blood glucose levels. Unlike people with Type 1 diabetes who go directly into the stage of diabetes, most people with type 2 diabetes pass through this stage. Prediabetes develops primarily through a mechanism known as insulin resistance, where the body’s cells become less responsive to insulin, a hormone required for glucose uptake. As a result, the pancreas compensates by producing more insulin, which can exhaust its ability to maintain normal blood sugar levels. Several underlying factors contribute to the development of insulin resistance and subsequently prediabetes. Additionally, certain metabolic syndromes, characterized by a combination of elevated blood pressure, abnormal cholesterol levels, and increased waist circumference, further increase the risk of prediabetes and related complications. Without proper intervention, individuals with prediabetes can progress to type 2 diabetes, which carries a slew of health risks, including cardiovascular disease, nerve damage, kidney issues, and vision problems. Insulin resistance, combined with some degree of insulin deficiency, is the hallmark of the prediabetes stage. Managing insulin sensitivity and blood sugar levels is vital to prevent the progression from prediabetes to diabetes.
