Diabetes - How to Control it with Food

FREE Recipe Enclosed

It is estimated that 5.5 million Americans are being treated for diabetes. The National Institute of Health reports that undiagnosed diabetes has caused millions of people to lose their vision. Complications from diabetes are the third leading cause of death in the U.S.A. A simple urinalysis can often detect unsuspected diabetes.

What is diabetes?

It occurs when the pancreas stop producing the hormone insulin or the body is unable to use the insulin it produces. Glucose, our body's fuel, cannot enter our cells without the presence of insulin. If insulin is not present or does not work, glucose will build up in the bloodstream and eventually shows up in the urine. Small blood vessels narrow as the blood sugar level rises, the blood vessels carry less blood and circulation is restricted. There are two types of diabetes - Type I (insulin dependent) must have insulin injected daily to control blood sugar level. Type II (non-insulin dependent) is associated with obesity.

Symptoms

1. This blood sugar imbalance can lead to increased urination and thirst.
2. Poor wound healing, double vision and hunger.
3. Dizziness, sweating and numbness or tingling of the lips.
4. The inability to notice sweetness until 1 1/2 teaspoons of sugar have been added to an 8-oz. glass of water.

Type II diabetes can be easily controlled with diet and exercise in combination with oral medication that boost the effect of the insulin produced. Diabetes is a serious disease. If you have this condition, you should definitely be under the care of a doctor. However, there are natural remedies that can help normalize blood sugar levels.

Fenugreek Seed: contains a soluble fiber called mucilage that contains six compounds that help regulate blood sugar levels. It also increases blood level of HDL (good) cholesterol while lowering total cholesterol, thus preventing cardiovascular disease, a hazard for people with diabetes.

Bay Leaves: help the body use insulin more efficiently at levels as low as about half a teaspoon. In experimental animals, bay leaves have been shown to lower blood sugar levels.

Butcher's Broom (Sweet Broom): is popular in Europe for reducing leg discomfort due to poor circulation (use moderately and avoid completely if you have high blood pressure).

Onions and Garlic: onions, especially the skins are one of the best sources of quercetin which can help with the eye problems associated with diabetes, namely diabetic retinopathy. Garlic has the ability to reduce blood sugar levels.

Beans: are high in soluble fiber that reduces the rise in blood sugar after meals, delay the drop later on and help to maintain blood sugar close to desire levels.
