Clinical evidence supporting the fact that people impacted by diabetes should take a multivitamin continues to grow. The study “Multiple Micro-Nutrient Deficiency in the Diet of Type-2 Diabetic Subjects”, published in Current Topics in Nutraceutical Research, revealed that type-2 diabetics often incur multiple micronutrient deficiencies (MMD).*
Alpha Betic Multi-Vitamin contains clinical doses of 23 vitamins, minerals and co-enzymes to provide the nutrients that help restore deficiencies often experienced by diabetics. What sets the Alpha Betic Multi-vitamin apart from other brands is that it is carefully formulated so that there are no mega doses of any nutrient and excludes ingredients, such as copper, that can be contraindicated for people with diabetes.* |

As many as 20.8 million adults and children in the United States are afflicted with diabetes. Another more frightening statistic is that nearly 1/3 of those individuals are unaware of the fact that they have the debilitating disease.
When a health crisis strikes, it’s important to know that you have the most effective resources at your disposal. If someone doesn't know they're suffering from diabetes, it's highly unlikely they'll know the proper steps to take. The name of the game is getting control of diabetes... before it gets control of you.
WHAT IS DIABETES?
Diabetes is a disease in which the body does not produce or properly use insulin. Insulin is a hormone that is needed to convert sugar, starches and other food into energy needed for daily life. The cause of diabetes continues to be a mystery, although both genetics and environmental factors such as obesity and lack of exercise appear to play roles.
FACTS & FIGURES
There is Type 1 diabetes, type 2 diabetes and gestational diabetes. Most of the type 1 cases are diagnosed in children, teens and young adults. With Type 1, the beta cells have been attacked by the body's immune system and destroyed, leaving the pancreas with the inability to produce insulin.
It's estimated that 90 percent to 95 percent of all diabetes cases in the U.S. are type 2, while at least 20 percent of the population older than 65 has diabetes mellitus type 2.
Type 2 diabetes, previously called non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) or adult-onset diabetes, is the most common form of the disease. It can affect any age. Type 2 diabetes usually begins with insulin resistance, where the cells of the body fail to use insulin properly. As the need for insulin rises, the pancreas gradually loses its ability to produce it. This form of diabetes is associated with older age, obesity, family history of diabetes, history of gestational diabetes, impaired glucose metabolism, physical inactivity and race/ethnicity.
Gestational diabetes is a condition developed by women during their pregnancy. Although it usually goes away after she gives birth, women can become more susceptible to type 2 diabetes down the line.
If left untreated, diabetes can lead to serious complications including renal failure, blindness, coronary artery disease, stroke, kidney disease, amputation and other ailments. In order to diagnose diabetes, there are several tests available including a fasting plasma glucose test, an oral glucose tolerance test and a random plasma glucose test. If you believe you have any of the symptoms of diabetes or pre-diabetes, consult with your physician to learn more. With early detection, you'll be one step ahead and on the way to getting a handle on your health before it's too late.
With so many people affected by diabetes, it's important to know what to keep an eye out for. Type 1 diabetes is characterized by increased thirst, frequent urination, constant hunger, weight loss, blurred vision and extreme fatigue.The symptoms of type 2 diabetes include feeling tired or sick, excessive thirst, frequent urination, weight loss, blurred vision, repeated infections and slow-healing wounds.
Even if you are diagnosed with any form of diabetes, a long, healthy life is not just possible; it's probable -- if you take control of your health. With the help of your health care provider, through supplementation, proper diet and exercise modification, diabetes can be managed.* |

When it comes to living with diabetes, it can take more than just medication to keep your health in proper order. Beyond drug treatments, there are other important steps necessary to help stave off complications that often can arise. By integrating a well balanced regimen of healthy habits, it’s possible to maintain control over your life without letting diabetes slow you down. *
Nutrition & Diet
Proper diet is a necessity for all people, particularly those living with diabetes. One of the biggest challenges anybody with diabetes faces is maintaining control of blood sugar. Diet plays a key role in accomplishing just this. There’s no need to follow a complicated meal plan or subject yourself to a life of deprivation. Instead it’s a matter of practicing moderation and consistency. What that means to most people is eating smaller portions at regular times throughout the day. In doing so, you’ll keep blood sugar levels at an even keel.*
Experts recommend a diet that’s based on fruits, vegetables and whole grains. By following a program that’s low in calories and rich in nutrients, it also enables people with diabetes to effectively manage their weight. When you’re planning out your meals and snacks for the day, set a schedule for eating at specific times. Also, consume foods that are nutritiously balanced and will help keep blood sugar under control.*
If you take diabetes medication or insulin, counting carbohydrates can provide additional benefits. Consuming a consistent amount of carbs can prevent blood sugar from going up and down. Consult with your healthcare practitioner to find out exactly how many carbohydrates you should be eating based on the amount of insulin you take.*
Many people who have diabetes also use the glycemic index to determine what to eat. Each food is given a ranking based on the effect it has on blood sugar. Foods with a high glycemic index contribute to spikes in blood sugar. Foods with a low glycemic index prevent those unwanted peaks and valleys.*
Another tool frequently used by diabetics is the exchange system, where foods are broken down into six categories –
* bread/starches
* fruits
* vegetables
* milk
* meat/protein
* fats
With the “exchange program,” there are equal parts carbohydrates, protein, fat and calories in each serving of food within a group. Dieters who use this approach can exchange foods from the same group. For example, one ounce of chicken is equal to one cup of cottage cheese, allowing followers to swap one for the other. Exchange lists come in handy for people who prefer not to count calories. It’s a simple way for individuals to make substitutions without any confusing formulas.*
Regardless of the approach you choose to control your diabetes, always remember to keep the focus on what you eat, when you eat and how much you eat. A healthy eating regimen can make all the difference in the world when it comes to managing your diabetes.*
Exercise & Fitness
One of the biggest challenges that someone with diabetes faces is getting and remaining active. Working out can be an obstacle even for people who are in good health. The secret to developing a consistent exercise routine is to find activities that you enjoy. Whether or not you like exercising is irrelevant. It’s something that has to be done.*
The benefits of physical activity are far-reaching. Regular exercise can help lower blood glucose, blood pressure and cholesterol. It may also reduce the risk for heart disease and stroke, the leading causes of death among people with diabetes. In addition, working out can alleviate stress, strengthen the heart, muscles and bones, and can help insulin to function at optimal levels. There can also be improvements to blood circulation and movement that keeps joints flexible.*
Even if you are not in good shape, there are ways to get you up and moving. Consult with your physician and find out what options you have. Whether it is a gentle walking program or water aerobics, there is something for everyone. It’s recommended that you exercise at least 30 minutes a day, 5 days a week. To get started, try walking for just 10 minutes a day. As you grow accustomed to walking and make it a habit, go for longer periods of time. If your goal is to lose weight, you may want to even do more than 30 minutes of exercise a day.*
Here are some aerobic exercises recommended by the American Diabetes Association:
* Take a walk
* Go dancing
* Enroll in a low-impact aerobics class
* Swim or do water aerobics
* Ice skate
* Play tennis
It’s also important to do strength-training exercises a few times each week. By lifting weights, you’ll not only build strong bones, you’ll build muscle which will help you to burn calories even when your body is at rest. Weight lifting exercises also give you the strength to do everyday activities such as carrying in groceries or cleaning the house.*
There are also other steps you can take to increase your activity level as you go about your everyday life. Take the stairs instead of the elevator. Park in the last spot in the parking lot. Walk instead of taking the car. Ride your bike to the store. The goal is to build your stamina and improve your overall health.*
Before starting any new diet or fitness regimen, consult with your physician. |
