Glycemic Control

Do you have these symptoms?

• Do you have irregular blood sugar levels/Do you experience blood sugar spikes?
• Is your HbA1c on the higher side?
• Are you struggling with weight gain?
• Do you suffer from digestive discomfort such as gas, bloating and diarrhoea?
• Are you finding it difficult to manage your cholesterol levels?
• Do you have low energy levels?

Treat the root cause with Glycemic Control

Research has shown that Type 2 diabetes has been linked to an imbalance in the gut flora. People with diabetes, in particular, have low amounts of beneficial bacteria that aid in the digestion of dietary fibre to make butyrate, a critical short-chain fatty acid required for glucose balance and gut lining health. Glycemic Control contains well designed ingredients such as probiotic strains, ALA and galactomannan which can help restore the healthy bacteria, improve insulin sensitivity and help regulate blood sugar.

We advise that you book a free consult with our Nutritionist Team or talk to your Health Practitioner before incorporating Glycemic Control, if you :

• Are pregnant or nursing.
• Are taking prescription medications for kidney disease, neurological conditions or are on insulin.
• Have allergies or sensitivities to certain ingredients.
• Are under the age of 18 or over the age of 65.
• Have recently undergone surgery.

Imbalances in the gut microbiome can lead to increased inflammation in the body, which is a key factor in the development of type 2 diabetes. Chronic inflammation can impair insulin sensitivity and disrupt normal glucose regulation. Furthermore, gut bacteria produce various metabolites, including lipopolysaccharides (LPS) and butyrate, which can affect insulin sensitivity and inflammation. High levels of LPS are associated with insulin resistance, while butyrate may have anti-inflammatory and beneficial effects.

Further, Probiotics can help in managing diabetes by:

Modulating and increasing the abundance of intestinal flora that are beneficial to glycemic control. producing the short-chain fatty acid butyrate, which helps the body process sugar and nourish the lining of the gut.

Decreasing the levels of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and proinflammatory cytokines to increase insulin sensitivity, reducing the abundance of harmful flora related to insulin resistance and the inflammatory response.

The Glycemic Control works best when accompanied by healthy diet and lifestyle choices. Here are some reminders:

High-fiber inclusion:
Incorporate high-fiber foods such as whole grains, vegetables and legumes as they help to stabilize blood sugar levels.

Lean protein choices:
Opt for lean protein sources like poultry, fish, tofu and legumes. They assist in regulating blood sugar and enhancing satiety.

Healthy fats selection:
Choose healthy fats like olive oil, avocados and nuts. They improve insulin sensitivity and reduce the risk of heart disease.

Exercise routine:
Aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise weekly (brisk walking, swimming, or cycling) and include strength training to enhance insulin sensitivity.

Quality sleep:
Strive for 7-9 hours of quality sleep each night, as poor sleep can impact blood sugar regulation and overall well-being.
