“Medieval” blood sugar berry works BETTER than drugs?
You give yourself those painful finger pricks…
You monitor every bite you take…
You jab yourself with insulin…
And you march right back to your pharmacy to fill up once it’s gone.
Managing DIABETES is a sick game of LATHER… RINSE… REPEAT!
But if you’re tired of being mainstream medicine’s good little foot soldier, I’ve got something for you.
It’s a berry that’s been treating countless ailments since the Middle Ages…
Science says it works as well—if not BETTER—than mainstream drugs for high blood sugar!
Bilberries are small berries native to Northern Europe that are similar in appearance and taste to the North American blueberries. They have been used for medicinal purposes since the Middle Ages.
Today, the bilberry is linked to countless health benefits… including SINKING high blood sugar levels!
Here’s how they work…
Bilberries prevent the breakdown and absorption of carbs in your gut.
One study reported that a bilberry extract (equivalent to 50 grams of fresh bilberries) REDUCED blood sugar levels in adults with type 2 diabetes more effectively than a placebo.
Another eight-week study showed that a diet enriched with fresh bilberries increased insulin secretion in adults with metabolic syndrome—a condition which increases your risk of heart disease, stroke, and type 2 diabetes.
Both studies support bilberries POWER to lower blood sugar levels WITHOUT medications!
Though it’s native to Northern Europe, you can find fresh, organic bilberry from online health retailers or specialty grocery stores.
But if you don’t feel like hunting down the fresh form, supplements are an alternative. They can be found in the form of powdered tablets or capsules as well as drops. Check your local health stores and online.
As always, if you’re currently taking medication to manage your blood sugar, be sure to discuss bilberry with your doctor first.
