What is Diabetes?
Diabetes is a biochemical disorder which affects
the body's ability to use carbohydrates, sugars and starches. People
with diabetes are not able to produce sufficient insulin or are
unable to use the insulin they produce effectively enough to break
down glucose or sugar in the blood and make it available to the
body. More than 16 million Americans alone suffer from diabetes.
Although South African statistics are not readily available, the
incidence is known to be high and diabetes is often referred to
as an epidemic in the Western World today.
There are two main types of diabetes, referred to
as Type 1 and Type 11 Diabetes.
Type 1 Diabetes usually surfaces in childhood and
is usually associated with the inability of the pancreas to produce
insulin. People with Type 1 Diabetes are also called Insulin-Dependent
because they have to take insulin for life. Type 11 Diabetes is
also called Adult Onset Diabetes and usually occurs after the age
of 40. People with Type 11 Diabetes do produce insulin in the pancreas,
but their body cells have become resistant to it.
Although people with controlled diabetes can lead
a normal healthy life, uncontrolled diabetes means chronically elevated
blood sugar levels which slowly destroy proteins in the body, causing
considerable damage to tissues and organs. Complications from untreated
or poorly controlled diabetes include kidney damage, heart disease,
nerve damage, and even blindness.

How do
I know whether I have Diabetes?
Diabetes must be diagnosed by a medical doctor,
endocrinologist, homeopath or naturopath. However here are some
of the more common symptoms. If you are at all concerned about whether
you have diabetes, especially if you are overweight and have a family
history of diabetes, please seek medical advice.
Some
Symptoms of Diabetes:
-
Frequent and excessive urination
-
Always thirsty
-
Chronic fatigue, lethargy and weakness
-
Cuts and wounds never seem to heal normally
-
Weightloss without dieting
-
Loss of libido
-
Numbness and tingling in hands and feet
-
Recurring infections, especially Urinary Tract
Infections, Thrush and Athletes Foot
-
Blurred vision
What
Causes Diabetes?
There
are no clear answers about the causes of Type 1 Diabetes in which
the pancreas stops producing insulin. Some theorists believe that
Type 1 Diabetes may be an auto-immune response or could be caused
by a virus.
Type
11 Diabetes, which begins in adulthood, is strongly linked to obesity
and an unhealthy lifestyle. Both Type 1 and Type 11 Diabetes are
known to have a strong genetic link. This means that if you have
people in your family who have diabetes, then it is even more important
to follow a healthy diet, exercise regularly and to take supplements
and herbal remedies which can help to prevent diabetes. (see below
for more tips on healthy lifestyles for diabetics)

Can
Herbal Remedies and Dietary Supplements Help?
There
is a great deal of evidence to suggest that the use of carefully
chosen herbal remedies and dietary supplements can help to both
prevent diabetes and to keep it under control in those who have
already developed it. Along with the correct lifestyle changes,
herbal remedies and dietary supplements can reduce or eliminate
the need for prescription medication and can also aid in preventing
some of the tissue and organ damage associated with uncontrolled
blood sugar levels.
What
is Insulate Plus?
Insulate
Plus is a complex herbal remedy in
capsule form which
can assist in the treatment and prevention of diabetes. Like all
Feelgood Health products, Insulate Plus is developed with care by our practising
Clinical Psychologist, is 100% natural and manufactured according
to the highest pharmaceutical standards. Individual ingredients
are well-researched and have been put to the test over the
years as a complement to the treatment of real people with real
problems.

Can
I use Insulate Plus together with insulin and my prescription
diabetic medication?
Yes,
you can - but NOT without first consulting your doctor. These remedies
are very effective in controlling blood sugar levels and improving
the body's ability to use insulin. This means that blood sugar levels
must be monitored in people who are also taking prescription diabetic
medicine as it is highly likely that their prescription medication
will have to be reduced or even stopped altogether. If your doctor
is not familiar with natural remedies or is unsympathetic towards
your quest for a healthier alternative, seek a second opinion.
Is
Insulate Plus recommended if I am pre-diabetic, at
risk for diabetes or have a family history of diabetes?
Absolutely!
Many people with borderline diabetic symptoms or those at risk for
diabetes will benefit from the regular use of these remedies. Remember
that it is also important to make sure that you follow a healthy
lifestyle in order to effectively control the risks of diabetes.
Caution: Safety in
pregnancy has not yet been established. Use only under medical
supervision if you are also using insulin or other prescription
diabetic medication. Because these herbs are very effective in
controlling blood sugar levels, the dosage of your prescription
drugs may need to be reduced or even stopped altogether.
Feelgood Health Tip:
Circulation problems and slow healing
as well as eye disorders are common in people with diabetes. We
therefore strongly recommend our herbal
Vizu-All Plus Drops as an excellent companion remedy to Insulate
Plus. (See below for savings on our Combo
Pack!)

Ingredients
Insulate Plus comes in 100% vege-capsule form and contains
the following carefully chosen herbs and minerals to assist
in the natural treatment of all the major symptoms of diabetes:
Gymnema sylvestre: A well-known and highly respected Ayurvedic remedy
which is also known as the 'sugar killer' as it is said to remove
the taste for sweet foods. Gymnema Sylvestre has been used in Ayurvedic
medicine to treat diabetes for many centuries and can improve blood
sugar control, thereby reducing the need for insulin and hypoglycaemic
medication .
Galega
officinalis: Research has suggested that the use of Galega
officinalis can enlarge the Islets of Langerhans in the pancreas,
which are responsible for the production on insulin.
Ginkgo
biloba: An extremely effective herb used in Traditional
Chinese Medicine and derived from one of the oldest trees on earth.
Studies indicate that Ginkgo biloba has a beneficial effect on peripheral
and cerebral circulation and can therefore help to prevent the tissue
damage and poor circulation associated with diabetes. It is also
suggested that Ginkgo biloba can increase blood flow to the optic
fibres of the eyes and therefore help to treat diabetes-related
eye disease.
Vaccinium myrtillus (Bilberry): Research has demonstrated that Bilberry
can reduce blood sugar levels in Type 11 Diabetes and can
also increase insulin production. Bilberry is a very
powerful anti-oxidant due to high levels of anthocyanosides, which
help to prevent cell damage caused by free radicals. Regular use
of Bilberry helps to maintain healthy vision and is known
to strengthen the tiny blood capillaries which carry oxygen
to the eyes, It can also help with varicose veins and haemorrhoids.
Chromium Picolinate: This is a mineral supplement which
has been clinically proven to improve the effectiveness of insulin
and is the most easily absorbed form of chromium. It also helps
in the breakdown of fats and can therefore balance cholesterol levels
and reduce the risk of heart disease.

How
have Insulate Plus and Vizu-All helped others?
"I
recently visited my doctor because I felt tired all the time. He
said that I was at risk for diabetes due to my bad eating habits
:-( My grandmother had diabetes so I know I have to be careful.
I started taking Insulate Plus and my doctor can't believe the difference!
" Janice L. Parkview.
"I
want to let you know that I have had problems for ages with my eyes
and circulation because of diabetes. My homeopath recommended Vizu-all
and after 10 weeks there is an enormous difference! I don't have
blurred vision any more and all the tiredness is gone. Thank you
Feelgood Health! " Fran, Gauteng
"Because
of diabetes I had major problems with my feet and always felt tingling
and discomfort. Sometimes I couldn't sleep because of it. Anytime
I had a sore, it took ages to heal. Since using Insulate Plus this
is a thing of the past and I don't think that I have ever slept
so soundly! I have used many of the Feelgood Health products and
have never been disappointed with their effectiveness as well as
the fast and efficient service and friendly advice!" Simon,
Stellenbosch.
