Don't Become a Diabetes Statistic - Insulite Labs Can Help You Today: Diabetes cases in the U.S. likely to double by 2034

    BOULDER, CO, January 17, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ -- The number of Americans with diabetes is set to rise from 23.7 million in 2009 to 44.1 million in 2034 if the current obesity rate remains stable, according to a new study published in Diabetes Care. http://care.diabetesjournals.org/content/32/12/2225.full

But individuals can avoid diabetes with relatively simple lifestyle changes to improve their health - starting today, according to Dr. Sheri Colberg, Director of Exercise Physiology for Insulite Laboratories and Professor of Exercise Science at Old Dominion University in Norfolk, VA.

"Even making small, sustainable changes in your diet and exercise habits can have a large effect on diabetes risk," says Dr. Colberg, author of Diabetic Athletes Handbook and Diabetes? - No Problema! among others.

"For example, if you start consciously taking more daily steps and standing more, you will increase your body's energy expenditure and, if nothing else, prevent additional weight gain. Cutting back on refined carbohydrates (like white flour, white sugar, and white rice) and replacing them with foods in a more natural, less refined state will automatically increase your fiber intake, lower calories, and boost your intake of disease-preventing vitamins and minerals that are often processed out of foods. Even just cutting out sugary drinks can allow you to lose weight and lower your risk for diabetes," she noted.

Most people who develop type 2 diabetes first experience a condition called pre-diabetes, in which blood sugar levels are elevated above normal but not yet high enough for a diagnosis of full-blown diabetes. If neglected, the symptoms of pre-diabetes, which can be reversed with a balanced, nutritious diet and regular exercise, may lead to type 2 diabetes. This latter condition is irreversible in the vast majority of cases and may require daily injections of insulin.

Type 2 diabetes is a greatly increased risk factor for failing vision and blindness, kidney disease and the need for amputation.

Insulite Laboratories has developed the Insulite Pre-Diabetes System to reverse pre-diabetes before it progresses to type 2 diabetes. It is the first, comprehensive, multi-layered approach that scientifically addresses Pre-Diabetes and its key underlying cause, insulin resistance.

The Insulite Pre-Diabetes System works on five specific levels, comprising nutraceutical formulations (all natural vitamins, herbs and minerals), nutrition and exercise plans designed to increase insulin sensitivity, an extensive support network and a program to wean people off addictive foods like carbohydrates and sugars.

About Insulite Laboratories
Insulite Laboratories was established in 2001 in Boulder, Colorado, USA, to research, develop and test a scientifically based, multi-layered approach to addressing the problems associated with Insulin Resistance, a potentially dangerous imbalance of blood glucose and insulin. Reversing the condition requires a complete, specialized system which incorporates potent nutraceuticals (natural herbs, vitamins, minerals or other nutrients used medicinally); a tailored nutrition plan; an exercise program designed to increase insulin sensitivity; a component that addresses carbohydrate addiction; and an extensive support network.

Recognizing that there are millions of people who need this kind of systematic approach to reversing insulin resistance, Insulite Laboratories has, over the past eight years, developed individual systems for pre-diabetes, type 2 diabetes, PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome), excess weight/obesity and metabolic syndrome.

Insulite Laboratories specializes in developing health protocols for individuals with insulin resistance and its related conditions including PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome), Pre-Diabetes, Metabolic Syndrome, excess weight and obesity and diabetes management.
