 Diabetes
and Cholesterol
Adults with Type 2 Diabetes are more
prone to have high cholesterol and triglyceride levels,
and are 2 to 4 times more likely to develop heart disease.
This is why it is advised that Diabetics have their
cholesterol levels tested and that they maintain it
at a healthy level.
Reducing
cholesterol levels
Clearly, cholesterol plays an important role in a healthy
body, but too much of certain types can be damaging.
Have a full lipid-profile test to determine whether
you fall within the recommended ranges, and adjust your
lifestyle according to your results. In general, if
you need to lower your cholesterol levels:
1) Follow a cholesterol-lowering diet (please consult
a dietician)
2) Maintain a healthy weight
3) Exercise regularly
If this is not sufficient, supplementation or medication
may also be needed

Why
use Diabecinn™ Cholesterol?
Diabecinn™ Cholesterol may help reduce blood
sugar and cholesterol levels in Type 2 Diabetics.
Diabecinn™ Cholesterol is a food supplement that contains
the same powerful water-based cinnamon extract (ZN112), as
found in Diabecinn™ Original, PLUS
red yeast rice extract which may further assist in lowering
stubbornly raised total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol and triglyceride
levels, and may increase HDL (good) cholesterol.
How
does Diabecinn™ Cholesterol Work?
Cinnamon Extract (ZN112) helps reduce cholesterol levels
by improving the action of insulin (which is needed to break
down triglycerides) and via its powerful antioxidant effect.
Cinnamon extract helps improve blood sugar levels by reducing
insulin resistance, improving glucose absorption, and improving
glucose metabolism inside the cells.
Red Yeast Rice Extract has special polyketides called monacolins
that help to slow down the production of cholesterol by the
liver. It does this by reducing the activity of the liver
enzyme HMG-CoA reductase, which is involved in the synthesis
of cholesterol.
It also contains unsaturated fatty acids which are known
to have cholesterol lowering effects and plant sterols that
help reduce cholesterol absorption from the intestines.
Red yeast rice also contains fibre, trace elements such as
magnesium and B-complex vitamins such as niacin, all of which
are important for proper lipid control.
The two ingredients (cinnamon extract and red yeast rice
extract) complement each other by working in different ways
to address raised cholesterol.

When
to use Diabecinn™ Cholesterol
Some Type 2 Diabetics or Pre-diabetics may find that while
Diabecinn™ Original is sufficiently helpful to manage
his/her blood sugar levels, their cholesterol levels still
remain stubbornly raised. In this case you may want to
try Diabecinn™ Cholesterol.
As a new user, if you are diabetic and have particularly
problematic cholesterol levels, you may wish to start off
using Diabecinn™ Cholesterol.
How
to use Diabecinn™ Cholesterol
Adults over 20 years of age with type 2 diabetes: 1 tablet
three (3) times per day with food.
To be used together with proper blood sugar- and cholesterol-lowering
diets, where cholesterol levels remain stubbornly raised.
 If
you are taking other chronic medication please check with
your pharmacist or doctor.
Do
not use if:
- you are hypersensitive to any of the ingredients or to
peruvian balsam,
- you have liver disease, persistent raised liver enzymes
or kidney disease,
- you are pregnant or breast-feeding,
- you are under 20 years of age.
