Manage Diabetes with Natural Remedies!

Learn to Manage Diabetes!

Diabetes occurs when the pancreas does not make enough or any of the hormone insulin, or when the insulin produced doesn’t work effectively. This causes the glucose level in the blood to shoot up. There are generally two main forms of diabetes- Type 1 (Diabetes insipidus) and Type 2 (Diabetes mellitus), which is a more common form. Type 2 diabetes can lead to increased risks of high blood glucose level, excessive urination, drinking and eating, weight loss, tiredness, paralysis, visual disability, heart attacks, eczema, gangrene and sometimes, itching in the groin.

Diabetes can be managed and treated successfully with time tested and effective herbal remedies. Let’s learn about some of such remedies which are simple to administer and effective in nature:

• Consuming 5-10g of powdered jamun seeds every morning is believed to control diabetes.
• To cure diabetes, 2 tsp powdered fenugreek seeds can be administered daily with milk.
