Natural Remedy For Hypoglycemia Posted: 03-15-07 16:59pm
In my grueling research, I just came
across this. Knowing that there is a
special sugar present in avocados that
restricts insulin production, I did some
research and found out what it is and that
a company in Switzerland has been able to
isolate the sugar for usage in a
supplement. The sugar is called
D-MANNOKETOHEPTOSE. I am going contact
them for information since you need to
register on their site to view product
information and will let everyone know
what I find out. If this is really what I
think it is, we may have a natural way to
control sugar drops without worrying about
any nasty side-effects. Here is their
website:
Too bad they don't seem to sell it to
anyone but a lab.

Stan, have you tried this yourself? I want

No, like I said, they don't seem to want
to sell it to anyone but a laboratory. I
know that it does work, though, because
it's in avocados, just not in this large
of an amount. Not sure what a synthesized
version would do, but that's what this is.

Googled it...and nothing.
Stan, Do you have anything new on this,
like when we may be able to get our hands
on this

Here is a link for information on
D-MANNOKETOHEPTOSE
I googled it & came up with alot of
links. If you cut & paste it from
above, make sure the . was not included in
the paste.

I found this website while browsing google
for this D-manno. It seems this group has
patented a dietary supplement that can
reduce fasting insulin levels to 0.
However, it is published in 2005 and is
not peer reviewed.
Quote:
Compared to the
baseline obtained at the beginning of the
study, average levels of fasting serum
insulin were 26.41% lower at the end of
study. Fasting serum glucose levels were
an insignificant 1.52% higher at the end
of the study, indicating that the
significant suppression of fasting insulin
in response to MH did not induce an
increase in serum glucose or the
development of hyperglycemia.
In response to a same-day glucose
challenge, serum glucose and insulin
levels increased as expected. Three hours
after administering one dose of MH, serum
insulin levels were, on average, 22.4%
lower than the baseline fasting insulin
levels obtained just four hours earlier.
Average glucose levels increased an
insignificant 1.92%. This same-day test of
study subjects demonstrated that the
immediate insulin suppressing effect of MH
does not result in an increase in serum
glucose or in the development of acute
hyperglycemia.
The serum glucose averages excluded one
study participant who was hypoglycemic
when entering the study, but became
normalglycemic in response to using the MH
compound. This desirable therapeutic
benefit may have occurred in response to
the normalization of insulin metabolism
induced by the MH.
It is very sketchy to me still though.
They have 1 hypo person in the experiment,
but there are so many types (fasting,
reactive) hypo, what effect will this have
on each?
anyways, heres the link:
Previously, the
potential usefulness of this seven-carbon
ketogenated sugar has been limited by its
unpleasant side effects (e.g., diarrhea,
nausea) and poor absorption on oral
administration. There are problems with
unpleasant side-effects, and problems of
transient hypoglycemia. Scientists have
believed that orally administered
mannoheptulose was limited to the extent
which it could be absorbed in man, because
of its laxative effect when orally
administered. This effect is most likely
an osmotic effect, similar to that of
mannitol. Mannoheptulose has been shown to
lower fasting and glucose stimulated peak
insulin release in mammals including
man.
i found this weird since why would low
insulin produce hypo symptoms? but this
peak/fasting insulin inhibition is
definitely something interesting.
