Natural Herbal Remedies: Manage and Natural cure of Type 2 Diabetes

Natural Herbal Remedies: Manage and Natural cure of Type 2 Diabetes:

What causes type 2 diabetes?

Type 2 diabetes—the most common form of diabetes—is caused by a combination of factors, including insulin resistance, a condition in which the body’s muscle, fat, and liver cells do not use insulin effectively. Type 2 diabetes develops when the body can no longer produce enough insulin to compensate for the impaired ability to use insulin. Symptoms of type 2 diabetes may develop gradually and can be subtle; some people with type 2 diabetes remain undiagnosed for years.

Type 2 diabetes develops most often in middle-aged and older people who are also overweight or obese. The disease, once rare in youth, is becoming more common in overweight and obese children and adolescents. Scientists think genetic susceptibility and environmental factors are the most likely triggers of type 2 diabetes.

Symptoms of Diabeties;

Urinating more often than normal,

Feeling abnormally thirsty

Blurred vision

Slow healing of cuts or woundsWeight loss

Fatigue

Treatment;

With type 2 diabetes, the disease may be reversed with lifestyle changes, especially losing weight through exercising and eating healthier foods. Also, some cases of type 2 diabetes can be improved with weight-loss surgery.

• What are the major microvascular, macrovascular and neuropathic complications of diabetes and the

self-care behaviour that are important in their prevention?Diabetes is a chronic disorder of carbohydrate, fat and protein metabolism characterized by increased fasting and post prandial blood sugar levels.

Heart Disease – People with diabetes have a higher risk for heart attack and stroke.

Eye Complications – People with diabetes have a higher risk of blindness and other vision problems.

Kidney Disease – Diabetes can damage the kidneys and may lead to kidney failure.

Nerve Damage (neuropathy) – Diabetes can cause damage to the nerves that run through the body.

Foot Problems – Nerve damage, infections of the feet, and problems with blood flow to the feet can be caused by diabetes.

Skin Complications – Diabetes can cause skin problems, such as infections, sores, and itching. Skin problems are sometimes a first sign that someone has diabetes.

Dental Disease – Diabetes can lead to problems with teeth and gums, called gingivitis and periodontitis.

Pre and Post Meal Testing;

Food is one of the biggest blood glucose level influences

Blood glucose testing is one part of managing your diabetes successfully.

Testing your blood glucose both before and after a meal allows you to see how that meal affects your blood glucose levels and helps you to understand which meals may be best for your blood glucose control.

Fasting Blood Sugar Levels;

Fasting blood sugar level tests are used to diagnose diabetes

Fasting, as the name suggests, means refraining from eating of drinking any liquids other than water for eight hours. It is used as a test for diabetes.

Home remedies for type-2 diabetes.

Fenugree;

Fenugreek has the valuable property of reducing the rate at which sugar is absorbed from the stomach during the process of digestion; it also appears to be capable of stimulating the pancreatic cells to increase insulin production. Both these actions are believed to be a result of the action by an amino acid present in fenugreek called 4-hydroxyisoleucine.

Dairy Decreases Diabetes ;

People who consume dairy products are at reduced risk of developing type-2 diabetes.

Dairy milk, cheeses, and yogurts are rich sources of calcium, a mineral that increases insulin secretion and may reduce insulin resistance. Dagfinn Aune, from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (Norway), and colleagues completed a meta-analysis of 17 cohort studies of dairy product intake and risk of type-2 diabetes. The team observed that high intake of dairy products was associated with a significant decrease in the risk of type-2 diabetes, with low-fat dairy products conferring the most pronounced effect. The study authors conclude that: “This meta-analysis suggests that there is a significant inverse association between intakes of dairy products, low-fat dairy products, and cheese and risk of type 2 diabetes.

Karela-Bitte rmelon;

Several studies have found that karela extracts have the ability to reduce the activity of the alpha glucosidase enzyme and this helps to reduce the hyperglycemia that typically follows a meal. This insulin-like action is believed to be due to a substance called polypeptide-P. Bitter melon has also been found to contain a phytonutrient called charantin that allows the glucose from the blood to be moved into the muscles, adipose (fat) tissue and liver, lowering blood glucose levels in diabetics

Gymnema leave;

Gymnema leaves contain saponins and gymnemic acids that have anti-diabetic action. Studies have found that gymnemic acids show the ability to reduce the amount of sugar absorbed by the intestine during the process of digestion. Chewing on a few leaves of gymnema can reduce your power to sense the sweetness of foods and this observation has led researchers to conclude that this remedy may play a role in suppressing appetite – an effect that is useful to diabetics who seek to control their dietary intake. In some studies, gymnema also appears to increase the amount of insulin secreted by the pancreas.

1. Lowers your blood sugar and keeps diabetes at bay: According to a study conducted by Dr. Alam Khan in 2006 clove is great to lower ones blood sugar and keep diabetes under check. Clove works by inducing an insulin-like activity in the body that helps beat insulin resistance thereby improving one’s blood sugar levels. The study also showed that eating clove on a regular basis can help in keeping diabetes at bay.

Beans;

[including kidney.soy black,white beans]

Beans are a winning combination of high-quality carbohydrates, lean protein, and soluble fiber that helps stabilize your body's blood-sugar levels and keeps hunger in check.

Vegetables;

;The food you eat can help you control your diabetes and lose weight. But everyone is different — and your food cure may vary, depending on your lifestyle and health. To get the best, most effective food cure for your diabetes,

Chock-full of vitamins, minerals, and fiber, nonstarchy vegetables (such as broccoli, spinach, mushrooms, and peppers) are an ideal source of high-quality carbohydrates

Lady's Finger- This most sought out vegetable is rich in soluble fibers. It helps to slow down the absorption of glucose from the intestine. Soak one lady's finger slit in the middle in a glass of water overnight and consume it on an empty stomach. Done over a month, it reduces the blood glucose level to a great extent.

The four things you have to do every day to lower high blood sugar are:

1. Eat healthy food

2. Get regular exercise

3. Take your diabetes medicine

4. Test your blood sugar.

If You Don't Use Insulin

Follow your meal plan.
Don't skip meals, especially if you take diabetes pills because your blood sugar may go too low. Skipping a meal can make you eat too much at the next meal. It may be better to eat several small meals during the day instead of one or two big meals.

Care standards for diabetes;

Education programme, such as DESMOND (Diabetes Education and Self Management for Ongoing and Newly Diagnosed) or X-PERT Health.
In treating diabetes, the aim is to help people with the condition control their blood glucose levels and minimise the risk of developing future complications.
The Department of Health has set out national standards for NHS organisations and professionals covering diabetes care and prevention.

Management of Type- 1 Diabetes

Type 1 diabetes (or insulin-dependent) develops when the immune system in the body attacks insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas and destroys them. When the pancreas no longer makes insulin, blood glucose (blood sugar) cannot enter the cells to be used for energy, leaving high levels in the blood.

People with type 1 diabetes need to follow a different type of plan. A treatment plan, also called a diabetes management plan, helps people to manage their diabetes and stay healthy and active. Everyone's plan is different, based on a person's health needs and the suggestions of the diabetes health care team.

Insulin is made in the pancreas and is released during times when blood glucose levels are high. In type 1 diabetes, the body fails to make insulin and thus the glucose levels remain very high. Usually, the reason that the body does not make insulin is because the diabetic’s immune system destroys the insulin producing cells, though this is not a universal finding. In others, the cause may be genetic or may be related to a viral infection. Although the exact cause of type 1 diabetes is unknown, the risk of having the disease is greatly increased if a child has a parent or sibling with the same condition

Insulin

To stay well and healthy you will need insulin injections for the rest of your life. Your doctor or diabetes nurse will give a lot of advice and instruction on how and when to take the insulin. Insulin is not absorbed in the gut (intestine) so it needs to be injected rather than taken as tablets.

Carbohydrates, which are sugars, starches and fiber, cause the blood glucose to rise. "Carbs" are found in sweets, as well as dairy products, fruit, vegetables, starchy vegetables, grains and flours. For the person with type 1 diabetes, injected insulin must be matched to the amount of carbohydrate consumed. Counting the carbohydrates in foods is a critical part of good self care.

Carbohydrates are not "bad" foods. Starches and sugars have a similar effect on blood glucose- it makes the blood sugar rise. In about an hour, most carbohydrate foods are digested and converted to glucose and are entering the blood stream. The blood stream is the fuel line to the body; and insulin transports the blood glucose to cells to run the cellular engine. Protein and fat have little impact on the rise of blood glucose except to slow the digestive and absorption process when carbohydrates are present.

Symptoms of type 1 diabetes usually appear suddenly. The disease can first start with varied symptoms, so parents need to be vigilant and knowledgeable of the disease to spot it early. The diagnosis is easy if you know about the disease. The symptoms may include

High sugar levels in the blood

Over time, the high sugar levels in the blood may damage the nerves and small blood ves

sels of the eyes, kidneys, and heart and predispose a person to atherosclerosis (hardening) of the large arteries that can cause heart attack and stroke.

High levels of sugar in the urine Extreme thirst

Dehydration. The build up of sugar in the blood can cause an increase in urination (to try to clear the sugar from the body). When the kidneys lose the glucose through the urine, a large amount of water is also lost, causing dehydration.

Frequent urination

Extreme hunger

Loss of weight

The loss of sugar in the urine means a loss of calories which provide energy and therefore many people with High sugars lose weight.

Blurred vision

Nausea and vomiting

Abdominal pain

Weakness and fatigue

Irritability and mood changes

Diet and Living with diabetes Type 1

Depending on your blood sugar, don’t have more than 2 fruits/day and if you are fond of mango/banana, opt for these early in the morning.

Reduce butter, ghee or oil intake. Also, avoid processed foods like cakes, biscuits, ready-to-eat foods as they are loaded with fats. Salt and sugar and can aggravate complications like blood pressure and cholesterol levels.

Corn silk: A 2009 study found that corn silk reduces blood sugar and stimulates beta cell regeneration in

on ion for flavouring a salad, tart apples, lemon and lime juice. Green beans are especially good. diabetic rate

Boil or steam but do not heat the food to above the boiling point. Nevertheless, much greater benefit in overall health will result from eating these foods predominantly raw Use additional digestive enzymes with all cooked foods,

Use raw onion, lime or lemon juice, ginger or chilli or any other herbs or spices for flavouring meals. If trying out raw flesh foods start using small amounts and increase gradually. Minimise the use of salt, and avoid it if you have a kidney problem, except if your blood pressure is rather low. Small amounts of magnesium chloride or potassium chloride are beneficial instead of salt

Eat a salad with each meal using the mentioned low-carbohydrate vegetables and possibly yoghurt. You may use virgin coconut oil and extra virgin olive oil.

Besides one or two meals, have apples or possibly pears and frequent drinks with diluted lime or lemon juice Breakfast cereals, oats, bread and other grain or flour products.

herbs

Some of the herbs that have been studied include:

Aloe vera
Coccinia indica (ivy gourd)
Garlic
Ginseng
Gymnema sylvestre
Ocimum sanctum (holy basil)
Fenugreek
Fig leaf
Milk thistle
Momordica charantia
Prickly pear cactus

We know that foods and supplements like apple cider vinegar, pectin, a proper diabetic diet, and lifestyle changes like increased exercise can moderate blood sugar levels; but we are looking to find more home and natural remedies for diabetes type I.

Suitable herbs are bean pod tea, ginger, blueberry leaves, dandelion roots and vinca rosea. Also try liver herbs such as centaury, devil's claw, gentian and milk thistle. Goat's rue (Galega officinalis) has in animal studies been shown to have regenerative effects on the beta cells of the pancreas. Cinnamon, cloves, turmeric, bay leaves and hops increase the natural insulin activity. In addition to vitamins C and E, you may use grape seed extract
Gymnema is an Indian herb that has been shown to regenerate the insulin-producing pancreas cells when used for 2 years. It also helps to prevent the onset of diabetes and to lower elevated blood sugar levels. Shortly before every meal that is likely to elevate the blood sugar level take an extract of about 200 mg or 1-2 g of powdered leaves.

Cinnamon is helpful for both types of diabetes. With type 1 it may allow a reduction in the daily insulin dose. Generally take 1 teaspoonful daily in divided doses with meals

Bilberry has excellent antioxidant properties due to high levels of anthocyanosides, further increasing the supportive health benefits of this remarkable herb. Regular use of Bilberry helps to support healthy vision as well as the health of the tiny blood capillaries that carry oxygen to the eyes, which are often affected by diabetes.

Keep in mind that this is not the first time that flaxseed has been found to improve blood sugar disorders

To reduce other risk factors

Avoid tinned fish with any kind of sauce, sausages or other manufactured meat.

The higher the cooking temperature, the greater will be the long-term health damage

Avoid any meat from feedlots, or fish from fish farms. Minimise eating large predatory fish, such as shark or tuna, because of their high mercury content

Minimise the use of salt, and avoid it if you have a kidney problem, except if your blood pressure is rather low

Avoid tinned fish with any kind of sauce, sausages or other manufactured meat

Initially avoid the following foods completely and after the blood sugar level has become normal, minimise their use

Avoid Sweeteners, sweetened foods, including fruit juice, soft drinks, dried fruit, honey, artificial sweeteners. Avoid 'diet' foods, such as 'diet marmalade' or 'diet drinks

Stress increases adrenalin levels and this in turn reduces the effectiveness of insulin. Therefore, try to avoid obvious stress and in addition learn relaxation and meditation exercises and practise daily The best advice for all diabetic individuals is that there is little evidence that most minerals or elements control diabetes. If one eats a well-balanced diet with fruits and vegetables, no other supplements may be necessary.

“Physical activity is an essential part of the treatment plan for prediabetes because it lowers blood glucose levels and decreases body fa

Set good sleep habits. Go to bed and wake up at the same time every day. Relax before you turn out the lights. Don't watch TV or use your computer or smartphone when you're trying to fall asleep. Avoid caffeine after lunch if you have trouble sleeping.

See your doctor every three to six months,

If you're overweight, you might not have to lose as much as you think to make a difference.

Monitoring Your Blood Sugar

The first step toward preventing complications is to regularly monitor your blood sugar or glucose level. This involves pricking your finger, putting a drop of blood onto a test strip, and putting the strip into a glucose meter. The results will help you optimize your treatment plan. When your blood sugar stays near the normal range, you'll have more energy, fewer skin problems, and a reduced risk of heart disease and kidney damage

Diabetes Treatment: Insulin Shots

Everyone with type 1 diabetes must take insulin to help the body process blood sugar. Most patients take insulin as an injection and need multiple shots per day. Your healthcare provider will explain how to adjust your insulin shots based on the results of your blood sugar testing. The goal is to keep glucose levels in the normal range as often as possible.

There is no cure for type 1 diabetes. People who develop the disease — mostly children — are dependent on insulin injections for the rest of their lives. That's because the body’s immune system has destroyed the beta cells in the pancreas that produce insulin. Researchers are still trying to figure out what triggers this autoimmune reaction.
