(1888PressRelease) September 21, 2010 - There are over 23.7 million Americans with diabetes. There are 57 million Americans with pre-diabetes.
Diabetes is the seventh leading cause of death.
It is also listed as a major complication for heart disease, stroke and high blood pressure.
It is a leading cause of blindness, kidney disease, nervous system disease (neuropathy) and amputation.
The cost to treat diabetes exceeds 174 billion annually.

It is important to understand that diabetes is a condition that if you don't take effective action against, it simply gets worse.

There are two primary causes of diabetes:
A long-term diet high in carbohydrates
Nutritional deficiencies

Your body's normal digestive process breaks down all carbohydrate foods you eat into sugar (glucose). The glucose then passes through your intestinal wall and into your blood stream as sugar. The more carbohydrates you eat, the more sugar enters your blood stream. In response, your body produces insulin.

Insulin's function is to push the blood sugar into the cells to give our bodies the energy to function. The more sugar that enters your blood stream, the more insulin your body produces to keep your blood sugar in a normal range.

Over the years of consuming our American high carb diet, a condition called "insulin resistance" develops. The insulin resistance can get so bad that your body can no longer produce enough insulin to push the blood sugar into the cells.

The blood sugar then rises out of control resulting in type 2 diabetes. Diabetes is an extreme case of insulin resistance.

Science has also shown that excess insulin causes your body to become deficient in many vitamins, minerals and other nutrients. It is a proven fact that being vitamin and mineral deficient is directly linked to and causes high blood sugar levels.

Chromium is vitally important to health, yet many Americans are deficient in this essential trace mineral. Chromium ensures that insulin works efficiently.

This is important to prevention of heart problems because insulin helps control hunger; regulates energy, fat burning, and muscle building; governs the utilization of cholesterol; and helps resist disease by stimulating the immune system.

Without some chromium, insulin doesn't work at all. Chromium deficiency causes fatigue, excess fat production, and is also a major contributor to heart disease and diabetes.

In his best-selling book Protein Power by Dr. Michael Eades states:
"The insulin receptor, the structure on the surfaces of your cells that actually become resistant to insulin, requires chromium to function properly. Deficiency of chromium is rampant - it affects 90% of the American population - because a diet high in starch and sugar puts a heavy demand on the insulin system to handle the incoming carbohydrate load, and that demand depletes chromium."

Chromium is critical to blood sugar metabolism and as a diabetic you can be sure that you are deficient in this nutrient. If you ever wondered where your sweet tooth and sugar cravings come from, now you know - chromium deficiency.

The U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) issued a favorable response to a qualified health claim petition filed with them, recognizing chromium picolinate as a safe nutritional supplement that may reduce the risk of insulin resistance and possibly type 2 diabetes.

In a letter to the Company, the FDA's Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition concluded that there is credible evidence to support the following qualified health claim:

"One small study suggests that chromium picolinate may reduce the risk of insulin resistance, and therefore possibly may reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes. FDA concludes, however, that the existence of such a relationship between chromium picolinate and either insulin resistance or type 2 diabetes is highly uncertain."

"The Diabetic Carb Control is a major breakthrough for diabetics," says Doctor James.
