Under normal circumstances, insulin helps deliver sugar to tissues (primarily to the muscles and liver) so they can utilize the energy.

If insulin resistance develops, it means insulin can not perform its task because the cells become insensitive to insulin, and their capacity for sugar uptake decreases. The underlying cause is an insulin receptor problem, triggered by metabolic byproducts accumulated during abnormal metabolic processes. Consequently, more sugar remains in the blood, even though the pancreas continues to produce insulin.

Insulin resistance can lead to obesity, prediabetes and type 2 diabetes.

Insulin Resistance: Prevalence and Symptoms by Age Group

Insulin resistance is often diagnosed in overweight women, but it can also affect specifically lean women, as well as men and adolescents.

It frequently appears at a very young age, manifesting as menstrual irregularities, a tendency to gain weight, or acne; however, it is often not sufficiently addressed at this stage. In many cases, it is only discovered when trying to start a family.

The symptoms of insulin resistance can be very diverse. It is worth considering this condition if the following symptoms occur:

Nervousness, fatigue, or difficulty to concentrate after consuming sugary foods or large meals; irregular menstruation, difficulty conceiving, or infertility; as well as unsuccessful attempts at weight loss or weight gain despite an unchanged lifestyle.

A healthy microbiome plays its role in a proper way in various metabolic processes.

It was notable that insulin resistance was correlated with a higher-than-normal amount of carbohydrates in the stool, indicating that the proportion of gut bacteria responsible for breaking them down has decreased unfavorably.

If the quantity and relative ratio of fatty acids produced from fiber by bacteria in the colon are optimal, the risk of developing insulin resistance is significantly reduced.

The quality of the gut microbiome influences gut mucosal immunity, intestinal permeability, and the onset of systemic inflammation, all of that may play a role in the development of insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes.

With the use of probiotics containing Bacillus subtilis bacteria, a simultaneous decrease in blood sugar and insulin levels was observed, suggesting a beneficial effect on cellular sugar uptake.

This effect is likely due to the fact that, by harmonizing the gut flora, it helps reduce the number of undesirable bacteria in the gut that sustain inflammatory processes in the body (e.g., lipopolysaccharide-positive bacteria).

Overall, scientific findings indicate that probiotic preparations, such as Vetom products, can provide effective assistance in the management of metabolic problems like insulin resistance.

Vetom and Blood Sugar Levels

If you have high blood sugar levels or you are affected by insulin resistance, it is important to start taking Vetom with caution and gradually, in small doses, especially during the first 2–3 days of use.

Liquid Vetom preparations (Vetom 1.23, 2.25, 2.26, 3.22, 4.24), as well as Komarov powder and Vetomgin 8.21 effervescent tablets, can be consumed by diabetics and those suffering from oncological or other metabolic diseases, as they do not contain sugar; therefore, we wholeheartedly recommend them.

To our great delight, we have received several positive reports from our customers indicating that their blood sugar levels decreased while taking Vetom. However, it is important to be aware that Vetom is not a blood sugar-lowering medication, and we recommend consulting your doctor and dietitian before use.
