La Grande Chiropractic Info: Chondroitin Sulfate for Diabetes Management

In the nutritional supplement world, chondroitin sulfate is recognized for its benefit for cartilage and disc in La Grande back pain. Its reputation keeps growing for influence on specific spinal issues from cancer to knee osteoarthritis to cells and nerves. Recent research positively affects diabetes and its related osteoporosis and inflammation. Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC shares these new studies to assist our La Grande chiropractic back pain as well as diabetic patients. 

CHONDROITIN SULFATE: Diabetes and Inflammation

Chondroitin sulfate is powerful for diabetes in addition to disc nutrition. It’s reported that it can reduce blood glucose and reduce symptoms associated with diabetes. In new studies, it relieved diabetic osteoporosis and mended the microstructure of bone via its anti-oxidative, anti-inflammatory, and bone metabolism-regulating properties in diabetic rats. The research studies keep coming! A recent report states that these outcomes were obtained after 10 weeks of taking chondroitin sulfate, and serum inflammatory cytokines (TNF-A, IL-1, IL-6, MCP-1) lowered. (1) Part of the chiropractic treatment plan at Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC is nutrition. Incorporating chondroitin sulfate is providing benefit that La Grande chiropractic patients may enjoy. 

CHONDROITIN SULFATE: Diabetic Osteoporosis

In another study of oral chondroitin sulfate and whether it has anti-diabetic properties, chondroitin sulfate was taken for 2 months. Preventive properties were demonstrated. It helped improve the symptoms of diabetes by increasing body weight, reducing water or food intake, reducing blood glucose, increasing bone mineral density (BMD), repairing bone morphology and decreasing femoral osteoclasts. These benefits initiated the researchers to write that chondroitin sulfate could avert diabetic osteoporosis through reducing blood glucose along with antioxidative stress, anti-inflammation, and regulation of serum levels of OPG/RANKL. In conclusion, they wrote that chondroitin sulfate can effectively avert bone loss triggered by diabetes.
