I opened up my browser and it took me to the last visited page - yahoo.com ..and something of my interest caught my eyes - an article titled "Natural remedies for Diabetes".
A few websites say that garlic and aloe Vera reduce blood sugar level, American ginseng decreases blood sugar level, etc.
An article on the Times Of India dated 29 Aug, 2012 says:
Soak a few seeds (1/4 tsps) of methi in water overnight. First thing after you brush your teeth in the morning, gulp down the methi along with the water.
Jambul fruit is considered as an effective medicine for diabetes considering its effect on pancreas. The seeds too can be dried, powdered and had with water twice a day.
The guava is among those fruits that are available in most times of the year. With its vitamin C property and high fibre content, this is perhaps one fruit that diabetics can fearlessly have. However, a recent study has shown that having guava with its skin can heighten the blood sugar levels, so make sure you peel off the skin before consumption.
Gooseberry/amla juice too cuts the blood sugar levels.
Studies have shown that black coffee without sugar cuts the risk of Type 2 diabetes
Among other benefits, green tea is also helpful in reducing the blood sugar and insulin levels in the body
Let us now take a brief look on what the article on yahoo has to say.
Water is required for health, all of us know. How can this help diabetes? Here's what the article has to say: Drinking 2.5 litres of water, on a daily basis, will not only regulate physical functions but will also lower chances of cardiovascular and diabetic ailments.
The article also speaks about Green Tea, which is commonly said as a remedy for diabetes.
A not-so-commonly said fact is also seen - Vinegar is an excellent dietary compound responsible for diluting concentrated sugar-levels in the blood. Studies have shown that two spoonfuls of vinegar before a meal can reduce the glucose influx.
Well - interesting!
And of course, the inevitable statements on physical workouts and fresh fruits are mentioned. They are perhaps the most important things for anyone in the world, to stay healthy.
Further, the article talks about soy: Soy proteins are one of the miracle cures for reducing diabetes among crucial patients. The isoflavones contained in them reduce the sugar content in blood and keep the body nourished, while accumulating much fewer calories, when compared to other foods.
A few other commonly known things such as, small regular meals, vegetables, and the like are mentioned. Nothing new.
A few more noteworthy points in the article are:
Good luck, and live healthy!
Stay tuned for more :)

A few more noteworthy points in the article are:
- Fenugreek or Methi seeds are considered the most effective of natural cures that can help alleviate typical symptoms of diabetes. Methi seeds should be soaked in water overnight. The water concentrated with the seeds’ juices should be consumed early in the morning on an empty stomach. For making this natural concoction stronger, you can crush the seeds and sieve them through a cloth or filter paper.
- An effective, natural concoction for diabetes can be prepared by adding a few teaspoons of ground Bay Leaf (Tejpatra) with one teaspoon of turmeric. This mixture should be mixed with an equal amount of aloe vera gel and consumed daily, before lunch and dinner.
- Diabetics can use Banaba or Jarul plant extract. Banaba (don't mistake it to be the banana! :P) is among the lesser known of herbal plants in India. Along with India, it is grown in only a handful of other nations. The herbal powder of Banaba extract can be used to make herbal tea. This plant contains high concentrations of contains Corosolic acid—the most potent of biochemical compounds that stimulate faster glucose metabolism and help to regulate blood sugar and insulin levels that is very useful for combating diabetes.
- Jamun: Jamun is one of the rarest plants where nearly each part, the leaves, berry and seeds are known to help in controlling blood sugar levels. Neem leaves are useful in a similar manner. Amla or the Indian goose Berry is similarly effective in managing sugar levels. Instead of using only Neem leaves, you can also add leaves of Tulsi and Bel Patra. All these leaves can be boiled together for increasing the potency of the filtered extract.
Good luck, and live healthy!
