Four
Natural Treatments for Diabetes
There is something to be said for a diabetes
natural treatment. Why is a natural treatment so important? My concern is about
how drugs interact with the body and other drugs in the body. And while taking
some herb or natural remedy can have a negative interaction just like a
medication, I have not heard of any.
With medicines I cannot make that same
claim. For me and maybe you as well natural remedies seem safer. As part of my
diabetes treatment I want something that is natural.
Eating consciously and exercising are
two strong suits that make up a solid natural diabetes treatment.
There are also some herbs that are
worth their weight in sugar, I mean gold, that can address your blood sugar and
create a safer blood sugar level for you.
Here are a few herbs that are good
natural treatments for diabetes.
One of my favorite herbs is Cinnamon
because of its many uses and variety of benefits. Cinnamon improves the
digestion of fruits, milk, and other dairy products. Cinnamon is also good for
bloating, gas, poor digestion, arthritis, anemia, painful menstrual periods,
and diarrhea.
A human study published in Diabetes
Care looked at 60 people with type 2 diabetes, 30 men and 30 women with an
average age of 52. The researchers concluded that "The results of this
study… suggest that the inclusion of cinnamon in the diet of people with type 2
diabetes will reduce risk factors associated with diabetes and cardiovascular
diseases."
I like eating Cinnamon in a few
different ways. Hmm good on a sliced piece of apple. In apple sauce, on a piece
of toast or in some oatmeal. One way I love in taking the herb is in tea. No
need to add sugar, just have the tea. This is a delight.
While helping the body maintain weight
management chromium is a trace mineral that plays a significant role in helping
the body respond to insulin. Also found in Diabetes Care a study confirmed
significant progress in insulin sensitivity with chromium present in the body.
Interestingly enough studies have revealed that people with diabetes had low
levels of chromium. One suggestion is that chromium picolinate is not
recommended.
Another effective natural diabetes
treatment is North American Ginseng. One of the hallmarks of diagnosing type 2
diabetes is a positive result on the glucose tolerance test, an elevation in
blood sugar level two hours after ingesting a dose of glucose. How does your
glucose level respond two hours after eating is the key question? In their
analysis, the researchers found that subjects receiving a 3g dose of ginseng
had a blood sugar level that was 59.1% less than subjects who had received the
placebo treatment. Hey I like this ginseng. What about you?
Magnesium has proven to be an asset to
the body for a quite a few reasons. This trace mineral found in nuts, seeds,
whole grains and green leafy vegetables and many nutritional supplements is
ideal for helping regulate blood sugar levels. Low magnesium levels may
deteriorate blood glucose control in type 2 diabetes. This one diabetes natural
treatment also helps with blood pressure, nerve and muscle function.
When considering using any of these natural diabetes treatments it would be
wise for you to consult with your primary care provider. You want to be safe.
As part of your thorough diabetes
treatment using herbs is one of the areas that will help you acquire some power
over this disease. Having a well rounded program that touches on all the areas
of concern about the ailment that includes diet, foods not to eat and exercise
will help in your quest for control of this potent illness as well.

I have been a diabetic for about two years and still learning about what I can
do that will help me through this part of my life’s journey. Once I knocked
down my blood sugar level from 325 to 130 I knew that I could help others
achieve the same results.
