How Pellecome Supplements Fit Into Your Protocol for Diabetic Patients

Diabetic patients often need more than just standard treatments. Type 2 diabetes (T2DM) can cause issues like insulin resistance and bone health, which diet and medication alone may not be able to fix.

Pellecome offers a variety of supplements, such as DHEA, Vitamin K2, and D3, to help meet the nutritional needs of diabetic patients. Founded by Dr. Enrique G. Jacome, a board-certified OB-GYN with over 25 years of experience in hormone replacement therapy, Pellecome has become a trusted partner for providers nationwide. We’ve designed our supplements to fit seamlessly into your practice and improve patient outcomes.

Why Diabetic Patients Need Supplements Like DHEA, K2, and D3

High blood sugar in type 2 diabetes (T2DM) causes chronic inflammation and damage to blood vessels, which eventually leads to weakened bones and slower healing. This strain disrupts nutrient absorption and hormone balance and makes it harder to regulate insulin. Supplements like DHEA, Vitamin K2, and D3, all created in-house by Pellecome, can help address these issues.

DHEA: A Bio-Identical Hormone for Bone and Weight Health

DHEA is a naturally occurring hormone that helps us produce other hormones, including estrogen and testosterone. Studies have shown that diabetic patients, particularly those with higher insulin levels, often have much lower DHEA levels than non-diabetic individuals¹. This decline can make it more challenging to support healthy bones and manage weight. 

Pellecome offers DHEA as a bio-identical hormone, meaning it is chemically identical to the hormones the body produces. The human body can recognize and use these bio-identical hormones more effectively. Supplementing with DHEA helps diabetic patients bolster their bone density and better control their weight.

Vitamin K2: Promoting Better Bone Health and Insulin Sensitivity

Vitamin K2 helps the body bind calcium to bones to promote bone strength. For diabetic patients, this is particularly beneficial since their bone health is often compromised.

In addition to its bone-related benefits, Vitamin K2 has also been shown to improve insulin sensitivity by activating proteins that help regulate glucose metabolism.

Vitamin D3: Supporting Blood Sugar Control and Bone Strength

Vitamin D3 is essential for calcium absorption and helps enhance insulin sensitivity. This supplement helps regulate blood sugar levels and supports stronger bones. 

A 2020 clinical trial found that supplementing with both D3 and K2 led to significantly reduced blood glucose levels and improved insulin resistance², highlighting how necessary these vitamins are for managing diabetes and supporting bone health.
