Blood Sugar Support in Greenville, SC
Blood Sugar Support at IHP Greenville. Dr. Hendry, DAOM — functional medicine, root-cause diagnostics, personalized care. Call (864) 365-6156.
Blood sugar dysregulation — from reactive hypoglycemia through insulin resistance to pre-diabetes and type 2 diabetes — is one of the most consequential and underdiagnosed metabolic conditions. At Integrative Health Partners, Dr. Hendry addresses blood sugar imbalance through a comprehensive functional medicine investigation that identifies the specific drivers (pancreatic beta cell stress, insulin receptor dysfunction, gut dysbiosis contributing to metabolic endotoxemia, and nutritional deficiencies affecting insulin signaling) and treats them with targeted natural interventions.
How Blood Sugar Support Works
Blood sugar support at IHP uses fasting insulin (more sensitive than fasting glucose for early insulin resistance), HbA1c, HOMA-IR calculation, comprehensive metabolic panel, magnesium, zinc, chromium, and other glucose-regulating nutrient assessments. Treatment combines dietary protocol (low-glycemic, time-restricted eating), targeted supplementation (berberine, magnesium, chromium, alpha-lipoic acid, cinnamon), acupuncture for insulin signaling regulation, and Chinese herbal medicine (particularly huang lian/Coptis, known as Chinese berberine, with extensive blood sugar evidence).

Why Dr. Hendry for Blood Sugar Support
