Many people struggle to control their weight. However, while they are going on and off various diets, they fail to realize that they are also struggling to control blood sugar. Actually, the cause of blood-sugar problems may be weight problems, as being overweight and having blood sugar problems tend to go hand in hand. Too many blood sugar swings during the day tend to increase hunger jags, snacking, and overeating. When you overeat, you’re much more likely to add on the pounds, setting the stage for obesity, pre-diabetes, and full blown diabetes. Sadly, both pre-diabetes and overweight have become modern epidemics that are out of control, with two of every three Americans being overweight and over 100 million people having some signs of pre-diabetes. Both of these illnesses are nutritional disorders that result from eating too many unhealthful foods. However, there is good news: you can reverse pre-diabetes and control your weight. One can self-diagnose pre-diabetes by look

Diabetes is an inflammatory condition caused by the autoimmune system, and manifests as resting hyperglycemia. Your blood glucose levels have to be maintained within fine concentration limits: both too high and too low a blood glucose concentration can be dangerous to your well being. Your blood glucose level is generally controlled by insulin and glucagons, both of which are biosynthesized in the pancreas. Insulin works by making the glucose bioavailable to the mitochondria to convert into energy, while glucagon, the lesser known of this twosome, stabilizes the level of insulin and mobilizes it to do its job. There are two types of diabetes, known as Type I and Type II or A and B. Type I diabetes, also known as juvenile onset diabetes, is an autoimmune condition in which the immune system destroys Beta cells because they are recognized as being foreign. It is the Beta cells that generate insulin, and so the condition can be fatal. Patients with Type I diabetes must take insulin t

Costa Mesa, CA – VitalCare Diabetes Treatment Centers is excited to announce the opening of their new Costa Mesa Clinic. “This isn’t just treatment,” says President and Co-Founder Dr. Marc Rose. “The root cause of diabetes isn’t the pancreas, it isn’t insulin. Diabetes is caused by a malfunctioning metabolism and what we have here is the only procedure FDA approved to fix the metabolism.” Dr. Rose says VitalCare’s iCat Therapy can stop, stabilize and even repair damage from Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes, such as bleeding into the eyes, kidney damage and extremity damage leading to amputation. After more than 20 years of research no negative side effects have been reported. Essentially, VitalCare treatment centers use iCat Therapy to micro-dose pulsate insulin and mimic the normal function of the pancreas to trigger a more normal liver function. With the addition of this Costa Mesa clinic the FDA approved once a week treatment is now available at 3 clinics, with more opening soon.

VitalCare Diabetes Treatment Centers and its affiliates provide the iCAT Therapy using the FDA approved micro-dose pulsatile insulin pump, to treat Type 1 and Type 2 diabetics by mimicking the normal function of the pancreas to trigger a more normal liver function, this way optimal food fuels are utilized (glycogen instead of fat) and thus intracellular energy and function returns to optimal levels within each cell within the body. Dr. Rose says that over time, iCAT Ther

Chromium picolinate, broken down, is chromium that is bonded to an amino acid. The chromium portion of the compound is not well absorbed by the body. Therefore, the amino acid picolinate is added to aid in absorption. Studies have shown that 90 percent of the adult population in the United States has a chromium deficiency in their diet. The best source of chromium is true brewer’s yeast, but it is found in grains and cereals in smaller amounts. Refined forms of these foods are likely to be lacking in sufficient chromium levels. Strenuous physical activity requires a larger intake of chromium in the diet. Chromium picolinate, a chromium supplement, has profound effects on the body’s overall nutrition and health. It has increased in popularity in recent years because it helps to reduce body fat and increase lean body mass. Research has proven that it can aid in treating: * High blood sugar * High blood fat * Obesity * Food cravings * Osteoporosis * Lack of energy * Trouble controlling

Carson City, NV – Greg Gilbert isn’t a doctor, he’s a dad. In 1986 his daughter was diagnosed a type 1 diabetic. She was just two-years-old. “Trina became extremely brittle,” he explains. “My wife and I couldn’t let her out of our sight. We’d put her in bed between us. One day you’d measure her eating and insulin and she’d be fine. The next day you’d do the exact same thing and she’d go into convulsions under the covers.” Gilbert says he couldn’t take watching his youngest daughter slowly rotting from the inside out. “I took a doctor out to lunch and told him I planned to make a smarter insulin pump. I had no idea how I was going to do it, but I thought it needed to be done. He said, ‘Why make a pump? Blood sugar is just a symptom. Diabetes is a metabolic problem.’ So, I decided to change her metabolism.” Gilbert wasn’t a doctor; he was a lawyer working in the oil and gas industry. Knowing his baby would face amputations, blindness, and a shorter life span was enough to

Carson City, NV – Diabetes cost America $174 billion dollars in 2007. The American Diabetes Association reports $116 billion of the overall diabetes price tag is for medical expenditures. The other $58 billion is from indirect costs like absenteeism and disease-related unemployment disability. One out of every 5 American health care dollars is spent caring for someone diagnosed with diabetes. Now, imagine all that money didn’t need to be spent. Imagine the 20.8 million Americans the CDC says are diagnosed with diabetes, and the other one third that are un-diagnosed, didn’t need to have their feet amputated, didn’t have bleeding into the eyes, didn’t have kidney problems, heart problems or convulsions. Dr. Marc Rose imagined a world without complications from diabetes over 20 years ago. This month the company he co-founded VitalCare (Care That Is Vital for Your Life) went public on the Stock Exchange. “The 85-thousand Americans a year who will have their feet amputated - the 12
