"One possible explanation for the emergence of Type II diabetes in children is the increase in obesity and decreased physical activity of children. Obesity is now reaching epidemic proportions in the U.S. and elsewhere." - American Diabetes Association
Diabetes, now one of the leading causes of death in the United States, is a chronic disorder of carbohydrate, fat and protein metabolism.
Nutritionally based strategies to optimize metabolic support involve a number of measures; one of these includes broad-spectrum supplementation with vitamins B3, B6, B12, biotin, vitamins C and E, chromium, magnesium, manganese and zinc. Together, these nutrients play a central role in regulating insulin levels, enhancing insulin sensitivity, and mitigating other physiological factors associated with Type II diabetes and its metabolic precursor, insulin resistance.
