_________________________________
At least 45 million Americans are estimated to be at risk for developing type 2 diabetes. High blood glucose levels, low magnesium levels, high stress, excessive body weight increase your risk for developing diabetes. If you have diabetes, no matter what type, it means you have too much glucose in your blood, although the reasons may differ. Too much glucose can lead to serious health problems.
Glucose is vital to your health because it’s an important source of energy for the cells that make up your muscles and tissues. It’s also your brain’s main source of fuel.
People with high blood pressure and high cholesterol should avoid all processed sugars.
Kelp Seaweed, rich in fucoidan, is found to balance blood sugar levels, prevent insulin over response and promote healing. Seaweed is considered to be a thyroid stimulator and gland balancer and ultimately aid in regulating metabolism. Seaweed is among the supreme foods for nourishing all of the endocrine glands. Fucoidan have the effect of slowing the infusion of glucose into the bloodstream from the intestines. For people with diabetes, insulin resistance or hypoglycemia, this is great news, since their main challenge is to keep blood sugar levels stable and prevent excessive insulin responses.
Seaweed supplies the micro-mineral chromium, which is essential for glucose utilization. Seaweed contains a sugar called mannitol, a low-glycemic ingredient that imparts some sweetness without raising blood sugar levels.
Seaweeds are one of the best kept secrets of good health because it is packed full of super nutrients including vitamins, minerals and some rare trace elements. You can start improving your health today by adding Seaweed to your daily regimen. It will work from the inside out but will actually show on the outside and you are totally worth it.
***It is vital that you talk to an expert about your eating plan. It needs to be tailored according to your weight, age, which medications you are taking and how physically active you are (and, if so, when during the day you are likely to be the most active).

Thank you for the question about kelslim. I believe the best person to answer this question is your Doctor or a local nutritionist. Good luck to you and God Bless.

You refer to a Seaweed capsule. How much Seaweed can be in a capsule? You need to check with your Doctor and please take the capsules with you. Good luck with your diabetes. Sally
Gastroparesis cannot be directly helped by Seaweed/Kelp. I am sure your Doctor has advised you to eat multiple smaller meals during the day to take the pressure off your system. Please ask your Doctor if adding a small amount of Seaweed to your meals would be beneficial for your condition. Good Luck to you. Sally
