In the Zone - How can Risotriene benefit diabetics (and pre-diabetics and those with hypoglycemia) especially?
Diabetes is one of the top seven leading causes of death in the US, and many people with diabetes are unaware they have it or are at risk for it. Risotriene has been shown in studies to help stabilize blood sugar in both diabetics and non-diabetics. Diabetics have an increased need for vitamin E, found in abundance in Risotriene, probably because oxidative stress is a major factor in diabetes. Oxidative stress (like rust on your insides) can lead to poor circulation which is a major cause of amputations in diabetics. Vitamin E improves glucose metabolism and insulin action and may aid in preventing diabetes complications, especially cardiovascular disease. Lipoic acid protects the blood vessels and vital organs from damage from excess sugar.
In many cases, diabetics who are taking Risotriene end up needing less insulin. [23] there have also been reports of lowered blood sugar levels from the use of Risotriene, including a reduction from the 400s to the 100s (60-120 is the normal blood sugar range). [3,23]
In one study of five subjects taking 20 grams (less than one ounce) of stabilized rice bran per day, blood glucose levels dropped from 160-190 mg/dl to 120-135 mg/dl. Three of the five were able to reduce their insulin intake by 50%. [24]
