Do you have diabetes and want to know if you can take D-Mannose for bacterial cystitis<\/a>?<\/em><\/p>\n

Your doubt is completely legitimate: D-Mannose<\/a> is sugar and it is not obvious that a diabetic person can use it.<\/p>\n

To answer the question, I can tell you Yes, you can take D-Mannose if you have diabetes<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Let’s see together why and what precautions to take<\/em> \ud83d\ude0a
\nIf you already know the theory and need support, don’t hesitate to contact me right away<\/a>.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. D-Mannose<\/a> is a simple sugar, or monosaccharide<\/em>, absorbed by our bodies much more slowly than normal<\/strong> food sugar, so-called glucose<\/em>.
    \nThis means that it does NOT rapidly raise your blood sugar (it has a very low glycemic index<\/em> ).<\/li>\n
  2. Other than slow absorption, our bodies do not metabolize<\/strong> D-Mannose<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    What does that mean?<\/em><\/p>\n

    It means that our body does not use D-Mannose<\/a> to produce of the energy we need to survive (as it does with many substances we take in through food).
    \nD-Mannose is almost entirely transported to the kidneys through the bloodstream and eliminated through the urine<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

    This last process is why D-Mannose<\/a> can be effective in the case of bacterial cystitis. Each dose taken arrives almost entirely in the bladder, and, right here, it becomes useful in blocking the aggression of the bladder by the “bad” bacteria.<\/p>\n

    Awesome, right?<\/em> \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

    There are, however, important precautions to<\/strong> take:<\/p>\n
