There are many different reasons your body can become resistant to insulin, which is what your body uses to regulate your blood sugar levels. Being overweight, chronic stress, or an illness like Cushing’s disease can make your body resistant to insulin, raising your blood sugar levels. CBD has shown that it can help lower blood sugar by decreasing a particular hormone that makes your body resistant to insulin.
Symptoms Of High Blood Sugar
- Fatigue
- Headaches
- Blurred Vision
- Frequent urination
- Increased Thirst
- Difficulty concentrating
- Dry mouth
- Increased hunger
- Shortness of breath
- Abdominal pain
The insulin in your body helps control your blood sugar levels, but when your body becomes resistant, your pancreas starts to create more and more working in overtime and raising your blood sugar levels. If you have a resistance to insulin, your body is using a hormone called resistin.
CBD oil can help with blood sugar levels by decreasing the amount of resistin in the body. For those recovering from having high blood sugar or other diabetic symptoms, hemp oil can help reduce stress, cell death, and tissue scarring.
Symptoms CBD Can Help With
Cannabidiol may do more than just regulating your blood sugar; it can also help with some of the symptoms such as pain and fatigue. By interacting with the endocannabinoid system, hemp oil has access to your perception of pain and your energy.
Pain
Cannabidiol can help with pain because it elevates the endocannabinoid anandamide. This endocannabinoid binds to the CB1 receptor which mediates the neurological functions of the body, including the perception of pain. By raising this chemical, CBD can reduce your sensitivity to pain as well as boost your energy.
Fatigue
While mediating your sensitivity to pain, the CB1 receptor also has many other jobs such as regulating your mood, sleep cycle, and appetite. Increased anandamide can boost your mood and improve your sleep making you feel more refreshed and energized. CBD can also help with energy by being involved in your metabolism process.
Cannabidiol enhances the mitochondria and helps your body use it’s natural energy more efficiently. CBD also promotes the fat browning process, which is when your body turns white fat into brown fat so it can be burned for fuel.
Even though CBD might help these symptoms and causes, changing your lifestyle is still necessary for a full recovery. A personal nutritional coach is often suggested because everybody is different and having someone tailor a meal plan to you specifically can be very beneficial in the long run.
