Other assessments include infl amma- tory markers, nutrient assessments and liver enzyme panels. Through these assessments the need for detoxifi cation can be inferred and a simple detox plan can be implemented. If symptoms or treatment outcomes are not being met, testing for specifi c toxins can be helpful and targeted therapies can then be utilized.


Tips to Detox


1. In general, avoidance of toxins is the most important fi rst line therapy. Educa- tion on where these toxins are found and how to avoid can be discussed with your practitioner.


2. Increase your body’s ability to detox by promoting glutathione levels through spe- cifi c supplementation recommendations.


3. Increase hydration and fi ber in diet in order to maintain proper elimination through bowels and bladder.


4. Targeted interventions through supple- ments and nutrients to increase detoxi- fi cation of specifi c toxins and a plan to avoid re-exposure.


In summary, lifestyle interventions are


always a key aspect in the management of dia- betes but what appears to be equally important is the ability to detox appropriately. Environ- mental exposures and detox assessment should be considered paramount in treating any chronic illness, especially diabetes.
