Indications
DB Care provides support for normal blood sugar metabolism.  It can provide support for people with high blood sugar,  hyperinsulinemia / Metabolic Syndrome X, and hyperinsulinemia associated with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCO), and those who have a family history of adult-onset blood sugar imbalances.*

Complaints often associated with problems involving glucose (sugar) metabolism can include,

• Truncal obesity (where the fat is distributed more on the abdomen and chest, and less on the legs and arms)*
• High Insulin levels (hyperinsulinemia)*
• High blood sugar levels*
• High blood pressure*
• High triglycerides*
• Male hair growth patterns in women (facial hair, line of hair under belly button, male-pattern thinning of the hair on the head, etc.)*
• Darkening of the skin under the arms, under the breasts, and in the groin*
• Skipped periods, Infertility*
• Complications of high blood sugar*
  
  

Review of Blood Sugar Problems
Let's review some blood sugar problems so we can better see how DB Care may help. Very briefly,

Type I high blood sugar imbalances usually begins in childhood and is due to the pancreas not making enough insulin. Insulin is what causes sugar to go from the blood and into the cells where it can be burned. And when there isn't enough insulin, the blood sugar goes up.

Type II high blood sugar usually begins in adulthood and is often due to insulin resistance, or the body not responding properly to insulin produced by the pancreas.

Hyperinsulinemia is a condition that often turns into high blood sugars. In other words, patients can develop elevated insulin levels before they develop elevated blood sugar levels. The body makes excessive amounts of insulin, presumably, in an effort to compensate for the insulin resistance that may eventually lead to chronically elevated blood sugar levels. Hyperinsulinemia can often lead to skin tags and darkening of the skin under the arms, breasts and in the groin.

Metabloic Syndrome X is hyperinsulinemia especially associated with high blood pressure and high triglyceride/cholesterol levels.

Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) includes hyperinsulinemia, and can include darkened areas of the skin, stopped periods, infertility, and male-patterned hair growth.

Stress can lead to problems with the thyroid system (Wilson's Temperature Syndrome) and the adrenal system. Stress can cause cortisol levels to rise which can:

• Decrease the conversion of T4 to T3 which can lead to decreased utilization of sugar, and increased obesity. Obesity can cause insulin resistance and high blood sugar levels.*
• Cause hyperinsulinemia, truncal obesity, and high blood sugar levels directly as well.*

With perhaps the exception of Type I, all of the problems mentioned above can have a lot in common and can be thought of almost as a continuum of essentially the same problem(s).*

Organs Involved in Blood Sugar Regulation
The pancreas, liver, and adrenals all play a role in glucose metabolism. When any of these components malfunction, problems in glucose metabolism can result. As an analogy, suppose 4 people were holding up a triangular couch, one person in each corner. If all 3 started to get tired, the couch would start to go down. If just 1 person gave out, the other two would get tired faster and the couch would start to go down. In a similar way, problems in any one of the organs or systems important in glucose metabolism can cause a similar constellation of complaints.

DB Care works by supporting all three of the organs important in glucose metabolism, the pancreas, liver, and adrenals. If thyroid support is desired, the WT3 protocol (or maybe ThyroCare) can always be implemented. *

DB Care is not a drug that lowers blood sugar, rather it is aimed at supporting the organs to promote healthy function. The support from DB Care builds over a period of weeks.*

Side Effects
There are no adverse side effects and no contraindications to DB Care.*

We have not seen any patients taking DB Care who have had their blood sugar levels go too low, even when patients are also taking prescription medications at the same time to lower their blood sugar.

There are a lot of anti-oxidants in DB Care which help support the body in eliminating free radicals which are considered to be largely responsible for the secondary complications of high blood sugar levels.*

WT3 protocol In The Management of Blood Sugar Problems
Raising the body temperature by one degree can often,

• Quickly lower blood sugar levels in patients with high blood sugar sometimes to normal*
• Quickly lower insulin levels in patients with hyperinsulinemia by 30% and sometimes to normal*

Almost all patients with high blood sugar and hyperinsulinemia have low body temperatures and can benefit from the WT3 protocol. In itself WT3 is an important and effective management tool, probably more important than drugs such as Glucophage and Glyburide. And the best thing about the WT3 protocol is that it doesn't have to be taken for life. The WT3 alone may not bring the insulin levels all the way down to normal, but as far down as they go they tend to stay down.*

Diet and Exercise In The Management of Blood Sugar Problems
People with blood sugar problems should remember to try to eat a good diet and get plenty of exercise. Good diet and exercise alone can often work wonders in bringing down blood sugar levels. We recommend a very strict diet with the patient eating nothing with a glycemic index of greater than 50. Patients can do a search on the Internet for "glycemic index chart" to find the kinds of foods one might eat. If patients want to eat anything with a glycemic index of over 50 they should do at least a half-hour of exercise that day. Such a strict diet gets great results by itself, but is very hard to stick to for many people.

Many people say they have tried diet after going to dietitians but many diets prescribed by dieticians are often too lenient to help very much.*
