The American Diabetes Association estimates that well over 100 million people in the U.S. alone have health problems related to blood sugar imbalances and that over 80% of these people are unaware of their condition. If the estimates by WHO are to be believed, 1.6 million deaths are directly attributed to diabetes each year globally. The WHO has also claimed that by the year 2030, diabetes would be the seventh largest killer globally.

The health costs of conditions related to blood sugar imbalance are estimated to be over $250 billion per year in medical costs and reduced productivity.

Blood sugar levels measure the amount of glucose present in your blood stream. Glucose is the building block of the carbohydrates you eat and is your body’s primary source of energy. It is absorbed by almost every cell in your body and combined with oxygen in the mitochondria to create a special molecule called “ATP”. ATP powers your cells and fuels cell growth and function. When you eat carbohydrates, glucose enters your bloodstream and insulin is released which encourages your cells to absorb the glucose as fuel. When your diet is consistently Tru Meds high in carbs and sugars, your body can become insensitive to insulin, the glucose is not properly absorbed anymore and it remains circulating in your bloodstream.

Neem and Blood Sugar

Some studies have claimed that certain compounds of the neem tree could be of benefit in controlling blood sugar. According to a study published in the Indian Journal of Physiology and Pharmacology, neem may also prove helpful in preventing or delaying the onset of the disease. In the journal Studies on Ethno-Medicine, neem leaf powder was found to control diabetic symptoms on non-insulin dependent male diabetics too.
