Pre-diabetes and Chinese Medicine

  Before people develop type 2 diabetes, they almost always have "pre-diabetes"; blood glucose levels that are higher than normal but not yet high enough to be diagnosed as diabetes, but will already be causing long term damage to the body, especially the heart and circulatory system. Research has also shown that if you take action to manage your blood glucose when you have pre-diabetes, you can delay or prevent type 2 diabetes from ever developing.

 If you have pre-diabetes, or you want to prevent the development of prediabetes, it is important to make changes to your lifestyle such as healthier eating and daily exercise. Even a 20 minute walk a day can reduce the chances of developing prediabetes significantly. Research shows that Chinese herbs can help reduce high blood sugar levels, but at the same time increase energy levels and this can speed the the recovery of those patients who are adjusting and are making the change over to a healthier lifestyle.
