What are some home remedies for Diabetes?
Question:
Answers:
The simplest, easiest home remedy is to just maintain a healthy weight. And if you're trying to do that as a diabetic or near-diabetic, substitute complex carbohydrates (whole grains, whole fruit and vegetables) for simple carbohydrates (sugar, high fructose corn syrup, white bread, white rice, etc.)
Eating regular small meals with a low Glycemic Index (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/glycemic_in... will help to control diabetes. It won't cure it, but it will help to keep your blood sugar levels, er, level.
the alternative health viewpoint about diabetes is not about normalizing blood sugar, but in having your body in a state of homeostasis.
i have read that simply removing food items like dairy and grains (wheat, rice, corn) has helped immensely.
also, eating all of your vegetables raw. the raw food diet (that concentrates on being vegan, though i believe you need some animal products in your diet) has been studied and found effective in weight loss and type-2 diabetes.
mainly, you want to optimize your vegetables and good fats (eggs, fish) and minimize dairy and vegetable oils.
eat lots of vegetables, preferably raw, drink lots of water. stop eating dairy and grains is probably the most important.
there is extensive sources online to fighting diabetes naturally. many people have stopped insulin dependence. i suggest looking into it, i've seen a couple short documentaries and there'sa story of a woman who overcame diabetes herself naturally (this might be the most useful for you). i suggest trying to find this woman's blog online. i wish i had the link.
Cinnamon has been in the news. You can buy at grocery stores in capsules now.
There are no home remedies for diabetes!!! Don't believe all the "natural cures" you see out there. It is a way of making money from the gullible. Do what is right and take your medicine, exercise and eat right! That is the natural way!
If you are diabetic i would be afriad to do this. as i know right now there are none that work. i was told that garlic was supposet o help with blood pressure and all that and diabetics used for years. i was under alot of stress minute i retired all stopped. and then found out garlic hasn othign thelp nothing. so see i would just go with the doctor on that type of disease.
When most people are diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, they could probably stop themselves from becoming full blown diabetics if they would only change their life style. Learn what foods are best for you, in what quantities, exercise and you can more than likely prevent yourself from having to take drugs or insulin. Prevention is really the best way to prevent damage form high blood sugars. today the guidelines have changed so much that there is very little even a diabetic can't eat.
