Diabetone™ is a complete product that addresses blood sugar function
and promotes healthy balance and regulation.
- Promotes healthy blood sugar balance
- Blood sugar level regulation
- Nutritional support for metabolism function
The BioBalance Diet Plan rounds out our approach to better blood sugar management.
While you the physician, may need to ‘fine tune’ each individuals
diet plan and exercise plan, the BioBalance Diet Plan should get individuals
started in the right direction. The basic idea of the BioBalance Diet Plan is
to eat whole foods with high nutritional value and low glycemic values. Low
glycemic foods are those that digest slowly and promote more steady blood sugar
levels. This helps to minimize large fluctuations in blood sugar levels. Foods
high in sugar or carbohydrates are minimized or avoided. Foods high in fiber,
which slows down the absorption of starch and carbohydrates, are promoted. Protein
and essential fatty acids are promoted. These foods naturally help to maintain
a steady blood sugar level.

Gymnema sylvestre is standardized for gymnemic acid content has been shown to enhance pancreatic beta cell activity and reproduction, thereby improving endogenous insulin output.
Vanadium (vanadyl sulfate) is a salt that has demonstrated insulin-like effects on glucose metabolism. Vanadium appears to enhance insulin receptors at tissue receptor sites. Vanadium improves insulin sensitivity in NIDDM individuals.
Chromium has been shown to enhance glucose metabolism and transport. Chromium enhances insulin responsiveness in skeletal muscle and fat cells. Beneficial effects have also been noted on the serum lipids, cholesterol, triglycerides, HDL cholesterol and LDL cholesterol.
Alpha Lipoic Acid improves insulin resistance in NIDDM individuals. Alpha Lipoic Acid favorably influences the glucose transport proteins GLUT1 and GLUT4, thereby enhancing glucose uptake and utilization.
Fiber slows gastric emptying and thus slows glucose absorption through the intestinal mucosa. This benefit creates a more stable blood sugar level and favorably enhances insulin responsiveness.
Biotin is a B vitamin that has been shown to have insulin-like effects and enhances glucose uptake at the insulin receptor site.
Fenugreek Seed and Momordica (Charantin) are natural herbal concentrates have demonstrated improved glucose tolerance and improved glycemic control. Both herbs have been shown to reduce elevated serum glucose levels.
Myoinositol acts as an activator of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) energy mechanisms. It is reported to aid in glycogen utilization, fat metabolism (lipotrophic effect), and oxidative phosphorylation. These actions benefit diabetics through enhanced glucose utilization, fat metabolism and improved energy production through efficient ATP production. Quercetin and Rutin are flavonoids that have been shown to act as antioxidants protecting lipids from oxidizing (lipid peroxidation). They also quench the peroxide free radical. Studies have shown them to reduce cardiovascular disease and cancer risk. Mast cell stabilization and reduction of release of inflammatory mediators is also a benefit of quercetin and rutin.
Vaccinium myrtillus with its anthocyanidin pigments has been shown to protect delicate optic structures. Vaccinium extracts can help lower the risk of developing diabetic retinopathy and cataracts.
Recommended Foundational Support: UltraGenesis™ Multivitamin/Mineral Complex (with or without iron): It is recommended that all individuals be on a therapeutic balanced multivitamin/mineral supplement. With this in mind, we recommend UltraGenesis™. This multivitamin/mineral is rich in antioxidants, coenzyme B vitamins, and macro and micro minerals chelated to the best mineral transporters for ease of absorption.
