Home remedies for diabetes include the use of apple cider vinegar, bitter gourd, fenugreek, cinnamon, aloe vera, water, mango leaves, alfalfa, jamun, curry leaves, and flaxseed oil in different forms. Exercising, healthy sleep patterns, and maintaining oral health are other good behavioral remedies for getting rid of diabetes in a natural way.
Common causes of diabetes in our body are either the lack of insulin or the inability to utilize the available insulin in our body. Insulin is simply one of our hormones that is created by the pancreas, which can sometimes function improperly. This very serious condition related to insulin regulation is mainly caused by two things – stress and obesity.
A survey by the American Diabetes Association recently revealed that roughly 7.8% of Americans suffer from diabetes. This figure includes both children and adults. Now, since this estimation is solely for the United States, it is not hard to believe that diabetes is one of the most common diseases affecting people all over the world.
Types of Diabetes
There are two situations where diabetes can occur. When the human body stops the secretion of insulin, it is called Type 1 diabetes. This particular type of diabetes is also called “insulin-dependent diabetes”. Type 2 diabetes is a situation where the body becomes unable to utilize the insulin which has already been secreted by the pancreas.
There is a third type of diabetes that is generally observed in pregnant women, called gestational diabetes, but this is rare. It shows up during the later pa Continue reading

What is Diabetes?
Diabetes is a disorder characterized by excess amount of blood glucose or blood sugar. This occurs due to lack of the hormone insulin in the body or because he insulin that is present in the body is not absorbed by the body. There are two types of diabetes: Type 1 diabetes called insulin dependent diabetes that usually affects children and teenagers and Type 2 that was previously called non-insulin dependent diabetes and usually affects adults. If left untreated, high glucose levels can damage blood vessels, posing great health problems in the long run.
Common Causes of Diabetes
Heredity
High cholesterol
Insulin resistance
Rarely due to pancreatitis
Home Remedies for Diabetes
Tip 1:
Boil 15 fresh Mango leaves in 1 glass of water. Leave overnight. Filter this water and drink first thing in the morning. Tender mango leaves are very effective to treat diabetes by regulating insulin levels in the blood.
Tip 2:
Basil leaves (tulsi) are packed with antioxidants that relieve oxidative stress and have essential oils that help in lowering blood sugar levels in the body. Take 2 tablespoons of juice extracted from basil leaves and drink on an empty stomach in the morning.
Tip 3:
Indian blackberry (Jambul) is considered to be an effective medicine for treating diabetes. The leaves, berries and seeds of the Indian blackberry (Jambul) plant help in balancing the glucose level in blood and prevent insulin spikes. Powder the dried seeds or leaves of the plant and drink it with water twice a day.
Tip 4:
Drink a cup of green tea on an empty stomach daily in the morning befo Continue reading

Home remedies lower blood glucose levels preventing diabetes

(NaturalNews) For people flirting with elevated blood glucose levels, the looming threat of having to take insulin shots can truly be frightening. Diabetes has become more prevalent than ever due to the All-American diet consisting of fast junk food, sodas, and the variety of other garbage people consume -- counter to common rational health advice. Even for many participating in healthier lifestyles and eating whole foods, blood sugar levels may still be troublesome. Whether you're diabetic or prediabetic, there are a variety of home remedies available to help manage your numbers and eliminate the need for insulin.
The basics
· Drink more water, especially immediately after a meal. Water aids digestion and flushes the system. Although there are some branches of alternative medicine that advise against drinking with meals, it's in your best interest to ignore that advice if you want to lower your glucose levels. Try it and observe how you feel. Take blood sugar readings and see the proof.
· Exercise! When exercising, your muscles burn sugars stored in the body, lowering overall blood sugar levels.
· Change your diet. Add more vegetables, legumes, lean protein and whole grains while reducing the amounts of simple carbohydrates. Choose foods that are lower on the glycemic index.
· Eat frequent, smaller meals throughout the day every three to four hours to maintain stability for blood sugar levels
· Lose weight to help manage glucose levels and lower blood sugar
· Eliminate alcohol and sodas, both which cause blood sugar to fluctuate
· Check your thyroid levels. It's not Continue reading

Battling Winter Colds and Illness When Type 1 Diabetic

My carefully laid training plans were recently axed by a “stinking cold” that seemed to go round amongst colleagues and friends.
What started off with body aches on a Friday, feeling cold and having headaches on a Saturday, had turned into a proper cold by Sunday with all the common symptoms: Runny nose, cough, congestion, headaches, sneezing and feeling generally quite lousy. And with that started a new challenge altogether: Managing my diabetes!
From incubation to outbreak – Blood sugar observations
As the weekend progressed, my sugar levels became gradually harder to manage until, eventually, with the outbreak of the cold, they were staying up at around 200-220mg/dl (11-12mmol/l).
Any slow-release carbohydrates I would eat and cover with short-acting insulin (bolus) would send levels even higher within 30-60 minutes of injecting. My body had become highly insulin resistant and my diabetes an uncontrollable beast!
Real life example: Day 2 of the cold and blood sugar levels
My target range is shown in gray; levels between 85-140mg/dl (4.7-7.5mmol/l). I generally have good control with HbA1c results of ca 6.2%. When illness strikes however, chaos rules: Below graph shows how elevated glucose levels were despite:
A temporary basal rate at 140-150% from waking up throughout the day until early evening
an additional circa 15 -20 units of correction with short-acting insulin over the course of the day
Little carbohydrate intake
Notice the spike from 160mg/dl (8.9mmol/l) to 271mg/dl (15mmol/l) around 19:00 (7 pm)? This came after eating 12 grams of COH in form of Pumpernic Continue reading

Immunotherapy succeeds in thwarting Type-1 diabetes in study

In a small but rigorous clinical trial, British investigators gave patients recently diagnosed with the metabolic disorder a truncated version of the chemical that gives rise to insulin.
After a quarter-century of failed efforts to treat diabetes with an immune therapy, the experimental treatment appeared to quell the immune system's assaults on the body's insulin-production machinery. The authors of the new study call their experimental treatment "an appealing strategy for prevention," both in the earliest stages of Type-1 diabetes and in children who are at high genetic risk of developing the disease.
The different metabolic trajectories of subjects in the trial's control group and its active arm were evident at three months — the earliest point at which a surrogate marker for insulin production was measured.
The report of the early-stage clinical trial, published Wednesday in the journal Science Translational Medicine, offers some preliminary reassurance that immunotherapy could be used safely in this growing population.
Researchers have been wary of pursuing the strategy in diabetes, worried that it could accelerate or strengthen the immune system's attack on insulin-producing pancreatic cells, or cause dangerous allergic reactions. In the current study, injections of an immunotherapeutic agent caused no detectable worrisome response -- not even redness or swelling at the site of injection — prompting the authors to declare its safety profile "very favorable."
Recent years have seen progress in the bid to develop chemical mimics of allergens that train and reassure Continue reading
