The biggest problem faced by many people today who suffer from diabetes is being able to control the condition effectively. Unfortunately, there is no real cure for this health problem, but there are plenty of conventional and alternative treatments now available that can be used to help in controlling it. In fact, studies carried out in the USA have shown that using diabetes natural control treatments over conventional ones can help reduce the risk of complications in a person by as much as 60 percent.
In this article, however we provide some of natural treatments, which can help with controlling the condition. In addition, using only natural products rather than those, which are made through scientific methods, are less likely to cause unwanted side effects to the person. In fact, some of the chemicals used to help control diabetes can cause further health complications including skin allergies, dizziness and tiredness.
Also, another reason why so many people prefer to use natural treatments over more conventional drug treatments is that they have proved to be much safer. Whilst the final reason for choosing natural treatments is that they are a lot cheaper to buy than drugs and they are also more readily available as well. Below we take a look at what some of the natural treatments for controlling diabetes are and which you may want to think about trying if you suffer from this condition.
1. Pterocarpus Marsupium or Indian Kino contains a gum resin, which looks similar to dried blood and why it is more commonly referred to as Dragon's Blood. This has been used for many centuries now in Indian medicine and especially for treating diabetes.
2. Momordica Charantia or Bitter Melon is sometimes referred to as Balsam Pear and can be found in Asia, South America and Africa. Again as with Indian Kino, this has been used for many centuries as a way of treating diabetes. Both the fresh juice and extract that can be taken from the unripe fruit have been found to contain properties that help to lower blood sugar levels effectively.
3. Gymnema Sylvestre (Gurmar) works by helping those who suffer from Type 2 diabetes pancreas to produce insulin. But as well as doing this, it contains properties which can control blood sugar levels in both Type 1 and Type 2 diabetics.
4. Onion and Garlic are both effective at helping to control a person's diabetes as like all the other herbs previously mentioned they contain properties that are good at controlling their blood sugar. But unlike some of the herbs previously mentioned these are very readily and easily available.
Along with the diabetes control natural treatments we have mentioned above there are other ones, which diabetics use, and which you may want to consider trying also. There is cinnamon, fenugreek and blueberry leaves as well, but it is important that before you start using them you discuss the matter with your doctor first.
