Diabetes or Pre-Diabetes?

Diabetes runs in my family, so I’ve made it my mission to learn everything I can about this insidious disease. And since an estimated 40.1 million of us here in the U.S. are living with diagnosed or undiagnosed diabetes, I’d say it is important that we figure out how to avoid it in the first place, wouldn’t you?

It should come as no surprise that pre-diabetes doesn’t happen overnight. It’s often the result of missed signals, missing nutrients, and a body struggling to keep up.

Here’s what many people don’t realize: blood sugar dysregulation sits at the core of nearly every major modern health condition—from weight gain and fatigue to heart disease, inflammation, cognitive decline, and accelerated aging.

Long before diabetes is diagnosed, the body is often sending warning signs: cravings that won’t quit, stubborn belly fat, energy crashes after meals, and that nagging feeling that your metabolism just isn’t working the way it used to.

If I were dealing with pre-diabetes or diabetes, I’d focus on restoring the nutrients and signals the body needs to regain control.

And here’s where I would start.

Chromium: The Missing Blood Sugar Mineral

If I had pre-diabetes or diabetes, chromium would be one of the very first nutrients I’d focus on. Why? Because chromium helps insulin do its job—ushering glucose out of the bloodstream and into your cells where it can be used for energy. Without enough of it, blood sugar can stay elevated, cravings can intensify, and the body can struggle to maintain balance.

In fact, research shows chromium can help support healthier fasting blood sugar and improve insulin sensitivity—making it one of the most overlooked tools for metabolic health.

Where to get it? You’ll find a variety of trusted brands of Chromium in my online Fullscript catalog: https://us.fullscript.com/welcome/agittleman/store-start

How much do you need? 4OO mcg daily up to 1000 mcg

GLP-1 Formula: The Craving Controller

Blood sugar control isn’t just about insulin—it’s also about the signals that tell your body when to stop eating. That’s why I wouldn’t be without UNI KEY’s newest and already most talked-about product: GLP-1 Formula.

Designed to support your body’s natural GLP-1 pathway, it helps calm cravings, support healthier appetite signaling, and promote steadier blood sugar—making it easier to feel satisfied and stay on track. Because when your hunger signals are working with you instead of against you, everything gets easier.

Mineral-Key: The Insulin Sensitivity Supporter

Most people miss this, but I don’t want my readers to.

Minerals are one of the most overlooked pieces of the blood sugar puzzle. When your cells are depleted of key trace minerals, glucose regulation can suffer—and so can insulin sensitivity. The good news? It’s one of the easiest imbalances to correct. Mineral-Key helps replenish the trace minerals your body needs to support healthy blood sugar balance, hydration, and metabolic resilience.
