MORE DIABETES EDUCATORS EMBRACING COMPLEMENTARY NATURAL THERAPIES AS VIABLE OPTION FOR TYPE 2 DIABETES PATIENTS

WASHINGTON, D.C., August 7, 2008 - Complementary, alternative therapies are continuing to generate widespread curiosity and gain acceptance among today’s diabetes educators as more and more type 2 diabetes patients seek out nutritional options to help manage their condition naturally

According to Janice Baker, M.B.A., R.D., CDE, a long-time registered dietitian and certified diabetes educator in San Diego, Calif., “I am seeing an increased interest among my type 2 diabetes patients in natural supplements for their potential to help manage blood sugar levels naturally.”

One natural supplement in particular that Baker says she has been recommending to certain type 2 diabetes patients that are managing their blood sugar through diet and exercise is a product called Glucocil™, which has been shown to help reduce blood sugar levels and inhibit carbohydrate absorption in type 2 diabetes patients, while also assisting in overall appetite suppression and weight management.

The primary ingredient in Glucocil is mulberry leaf extract, which is the food source of silk worms and an ingredient used for centuries in ancient Chinese medicine. In two cross-over, placebo-controlled clinical trials, conducted by a team of researchers at the University of Minnesota (Minneapolis VA Hospital), this proprietary mulberry leaf extract was shown to markedly promote stable blood sugar levels and inhibit carbohydrate absorption in type 2 diabetes patients. One of the studies published in Diabetes Care actually reported an average 44 percent reduction in peak post-meal blood sugar elevations (or spikes).

Baker says, “I am very encouraged by these research findings and believe that this natural supplement can provide nutritional benefits to certain type 2 diabetes patients in terms of helping to manage their blood sugar naturally, as well as helping them make the right dietary and lifestyle choices that are so important for long-term weight management.”

Baker will be speaking with other diabetes educators at the 2008 American Association of Diabetes Educators Annual Meeting and Expo, Aug. 7 to 9 (Booth # 1745) about her personal experiences with Glucocil as part of diet and lifestyle management for type 2 diabetes.
