According to the CDC’s 2020 report on diabetes, 10.5% of U.S. adults are diabetic, and a whopping 34.5% of adults are prediabetic.[i] Combined, that’s more than 122 million Americans who have difficulty maintaining healthy levels of blood glucose.

Of the 34.2 million diagnosed cases in 2020, the CDC noted that 90% to 95% were Type 2 diabetes,[ii] which has the distinction of being manageable through healthy lifestyle modifications and careful monitoring. By shifting away from a sedentary life and processed foods, and moving into regular exercise and organic, whole foods, you will be taking major steps toward managing, and even preventing, diabetes.

Natural Support for Stable Blood Sugar

Beyond diet and exercise, there are safe, natural adjuncts for managing blood glucose levels. We’ve identified seven substances that are validated by science to be among the best drug-free therapies for blood sugar problems. From ensuring that you get adequate amounts of critical vitamins and minerals to strategic calorie restriction, these approaches can elevate your wellness while helping to keep your glucose in-check.

1. Vitamin D

Vitamin D, also called calciferol, is vital for everything from building strong bones and muscles to helping the immune system fight off illness, among other crucial functions. Maintaining adequate vitamin D is essential if you are at risk of diabetes. Vitamin D deficiency has been linked to insulin resistance,[iii] a key factor that marks the progression from prediabetes to an official Type 2 diagnosis.

A 2019 study reported that vitamin D deficiency was found in 70% of Type 2 diabetic patients, and that individuals with severe vitamin D deficiency were 39 times more likely to have a diagnosis of Type 2 diabetes.[iv] Studies further show that correcting this deficiency through strategic supplementation results in improved glucose tolerance and beta-cell function, a marker of improved insulin secretion.[v]
