🌟 Why Blood Sugar Matters

Prediabetes, also called borderline diabetes, affects millions of adults—often without symptoms. It’s the stage when blood sugar levels are higher than normal, but not yet in the diabetes range.

The good news? With lifestyle changes and the right support, prediabetes can often be reversed—and you can protect your heart, kidneys, and long-term health. At Wellness Bay Primary Care, we help patients build personalized care plans that may include healthy nutrition, exercise, and safe supplement options like Berberine UltraSorb.

👉 Important: Berberine is not a replacement for prescription medications or a cure for diabetes, but a supportive wellness option shown in research to help improve blood sugar balance.


🔎 Causes of Elevated Blood Sugar

  • 🍩 Diet high in sugar and processed foods

  • 🛋️ Lack of physical activity

  • ⚖️ Excess body weight, especially belly fat

  • 🧬 Family history of diabetes

  • 😴 Poor sleep or chronic stress

  • 🩺 Insulin resistance (cells stop responding to insulin properly)


🚨 Symptoms of Prediabetes

Most people don’t notice symptoms, but warning signs may include:

  • Constant fatigue

  • Increased thirst

  • Frequent urination

  • Blurry vision

  • Slow healing of cuts or infections

⚠️ Risks of Untreated Prediabetes

If ignored, borderline diabetes often progresses to type 2 diabetes and raises the risk of:

  • ❤️ Heart disease

  • 🧠 Stroke

  • 👁️ Vision loss

  • 🩺 Kidney disease

  • 🦵 Nerve damage (neuropathy)


🧬 Pathophysiology – What’s Happening in the Body by Internist Geriatrician Physician PCP Georgetown TX

When insulin doesn’t work properly, sugar stays in the blood instead of moving into cells for energy. This leads to high blood glucose and damages blood vessels and organs over time.


🌱 Lifestyle Tips to Reverse Prediabetes

  • 🥦 Eat a balanced diet (fruits, vegetables, lean protein, whole grains)

  • 🚶 Aim for at least 150 minutes of activity weekly

  • 🧘 Manage stress with meditation, yoga, or deep breathing

  • 💧 Drink water instead of sugary drinks

  • 😴 Get 7–8 hours of quality sleep

  • ⚖️ Work toward healthy weight goals


💊 Berberine UltraSorb – Support for Blood Sugar Health

At Wellness Bay Primary Care, we offer Berberine UltraSorb, a highly absorbable form of berberine that’s been studied for its role in supporting healthy blood sugar.

✅ How It Helps

  • Improves insulin sensitivity – helps the body use insulin more effectively

  • Reduces sugar absorption in the gut

  • Supports healthy cholesterol and triglycerides

  • Promotes metabolic balance


📊 Scientific Evidence

Multiple studies show berberine may lower fasting blood sugar and A1c levels in people with prediabetes and type 2 diabetes. In some trials, its effect was similar to standard medications like metformin.

👉 However, Berberine UltraSorb is not intended to replace prescription treatments. Instead, it is a supportive tool to be used with lifestyle changes and medical guidance.
