natural food items for diabetes

Personally overall, even with most Diabetics being diagnosed, the highest they want a Diabetics sugar levels is 135. Many times Doctors fail to consider Diabetes as something of importance before they are reaching 250 or higher, and many times by then serious issues have set in. For me I would be watching what you eat, etc. and if your Sugar levels still continue to be an issue, maybe consider seeing another Doctor as well. But eating right or different could help.

Hi Sivan, I see your sugar level is not too high. I know people who comes to have around 400, and they doesn't take enough care to reduce that level. They like to eat sweet dishes. I think you have to be careful. Also I heard that garlic is good for health. I don't know about vegetables which can reduce sugar level in the body. I think that gym exercises could help, e.g. yoga or swimming.

nice discussion apart from the nice information you provided via link/url and text to control diabetes I believe managing stress is very important to control diabetes since stress is one of the reasons that increases the chances of diabetes in any person . I believe stress is silent killer and we must learn to kill the same before it kills us taking form of diseases like diabetes etc ........ Hare Krishna Ganesh

Garlic is very good not only for heart disease but many other diseases like diabetes being one of them. Introducing garlic in your daily diet is very beneficial for health. My husband too has been detected with diabetes. He takes metformin dose 1 pill morning and one at night. His doctor is happy with the results because first it was high when we first detected but now it is well within the fasting and nonfasting range. My husband needs a lot of tea during the day and before he could be diagnosed with diabetes he would add sugar to his tea so you can imagine. But now i give him no sugar at all in his tea, no matter how many cups he wants. That has helped a lot in reducing his sugar levels. He doesn't touch any sweets at all. So if you remove the sweets from your regular diet especially anything containing white sugar, white flour, will help you a lot. Yes bitter gourd, bitter lemon too are very good but again no one can have them everyday, we are humans. you can have them once or twice a week in your diet again depending on how well you have managed your sugar levels. Once you have learnt your body and how it responds to which diet you will know how to control it. At the beginning, check it regularly with a glucometer at home to see how you sugar levels respond to certain foods, so you know which food raises your sugar levels so accordingly you can then decide. hope this was helpful to you ravisivan

Hi ravisivan: I am sure you are able to manage your health through required care. I have relocated to my new work place since 1st Feb and am still thinking this may change. Not sure at the moment but some efforts are yet to bear fruit. Coming back to managing diabetes and the home remedies that can combat it, I am told that consuming fenugreek seeds soaked overnight will be a great help. My mother was using regularly and some more people in extended family are also benefiting from it. I recommend strongly based on feedback.

Great to know about it. I also only know about garlic being good to lower cholesterol. Since my mom has high blood pressure, garlic is one of the things that the doctor says is good to reduce her cholesterol level. I have read an article on the net saying artichokes, broccoli, rutabegas, tomatoes and turnips are some of the vegetables included in the list supplied by the American Daibetes Association that are good choices to lowering blood sugar.
