Herbal remedies for diabetes
Posted: Thursday, September 04, 2008 5:50:38 AM Diabetes is a metabolic disorder where the body cannot use blood sugar as energy because of having too little insulin or being unable to use insulin at all. The initial treatments as often suggested when a person is diagnosed with diabetes generally includes diet change, regular physical exercise, managing weight to keep it stable and changing food habits as recommended. Along with these changes if one takes some herbal medicines he can easily keep diabetes in control. Some herbs have intrinsic power that is the reason why Ayurveda and ancient Chinese alternative medicines’ popularity is still there and growing high in the form of Spa treatments. Even in the treatment of diabetes, many herbs are seen to play a crucial work. Following are the most commonly used and recommended herbs: Bitter Melon is one of the best options, which is easily available. Fenugreek found in India, North America and in some parts of Mediterranean region, Bauhinia forficate found in South America is known as vegetable insulin, Ficus Carica or fig- leaf used as a remedy in Spain and South Western Europe. Opuntia Streptacantha is a kind of cactus found in Mexican deserts is good for diabetes. Seeds of the Jamun, Gulair, Coriander Lettuce, Red Rose, Sylimarin, Ginko Biloba, and European Blueberry are said to have medicinal property. Gymnema Sylvestre has the power of insulin in lowering blood sugar levels, and Banaba that is effective in handling glucose and lowering down blood sugar.Regular juice of grape fruit cures diabetes and it is very easy to get. Mango leaves are also good, seeds, leaves or juice of Jamun (syszygium cumini) prevents the starch to convert into sugar, if taken regularly control diabetes. Indian Gooseberry, cinnamon is very effective, if half a teaspoon of it taken twice a day helps in the efficiency of insulin and converts glucose into energy. It also contains antioxidants that help fight the damaging effects of diabetes to the body.Herbs are always useful and found to have positive effect on diabetic patients but for the herbs to produce good results one need to do some changes in their life style.

Thanks for the information about herbal medicines for diabetes.
I read article about the herbal remedies for diabetes and want to share it with you:
There are great number of evidence suggesting that the use carefully chosen herbal remedies and dietary supplements can help to prevent diabetes and to keep it under control in those people who have already developed it. Herbal remedies, dietary supplements, and correct life style changes, all together in combination may reduce or eliminate the need for medication in diabetics. It also helps in preventing some of the tissue and organ damage associated with uncontrolled blood sugar levels.
Diabetes has been treated with plant medicines. Those herbs that are most effective are relatively non-toxic.
Hence, the common herbs used in diabetes are as follow.
(1) INDIAN KINO, MALABAR KINO
The tree (Pterocarpus massupium) is the source of the Kino of the European pharmacopeas. This herb has a long history of use in India as a treatment for diabetes. It has actually been used to regenerate functional pancreatic beta cells. No other drug or natural agent has been shown to generate this activity. The flavonoid , epicatechin, extracted from the bark of this plant has been shown to prevent alloxan –induced beta cell damage in rats.
(2) GYMNEMA SYLVESTRE (Gurmar, Cherukurinja)
Gymnema helps the pancreas to produce Insulin in Type 2 diabetes. It also improves the ability of insulin to lower blood sugar in both Type I and Type 2 diabetes. It decreases cravings for sweet. Some people use to take near about 500 mg per day of gymnema extract.
(3) BLUEBERRY LEAVE
Leave of the Blue berry are commonly used by the folk since many years, for the treatment of diabetes. It is most active ingredients is myrtillin (an anthocyanoside). Its single dose produces beneficial effects lasting several weeks. Blueberry leaves also increases capillary integrity, inhibit free-radical damage and improve the tone of the vascular system. It can be also in the treatment of eye disease chiefly diabetic retinopathy.
(4) ASIAN GINSENG
Asian ginseng is commonly used in traditional Chinese medicine to treat diabetes. It has been shown to enhance the release of insulin from the pancreas and to increase the number of insulin receptors. It also has a direct blood sugar-lowering effect.
(5) GINKGO BILOBA
Ginkgo biloba extract may prove useful for prevention and treatment of early stage diabetic neuropathy
(6) BILBERRY
It lowers the risk of diabetic complications such as diabetic cataracts and retinopathy.
(7) STEVIA
It does not show direct anti diabetic effect, but its use as a sweetener could reduce the intake of sugars in diabetic patients.
(8) CINNAMON
Cinnamon is derived from the bark of a tree of the laurel family. In addition to spicing up foods; it also relieves stomach gas, eases nausea, and treat the loss of appetite. More than a decade ago, the researchers have discovered that Cinnamon makes fat cells more responsive to insulin. Cinnamon increases the conversion of glucose to energy by twenty times. It also blocks the formation of dangerous free radicals.Reduction in the free radical activity, helps to slow down the progression of diabetic complications.

Modern clinical research has thrown light on anti-diabetic effects of Shilajit.In addition anti oxidant and aphrodisiac activity has been reported.It has been proved that it was the fulvic acid fraction in Shilajit, and other closely associated humic compounds, that were responsible for the anti-diabetic activity and long reputed historical success of that preparation. Also the Fulvic showed significant success in preventing and combating free radical damage to pancreatic islet B cells, which is the widely accepted cause for diabetes mellitus. What he discovered was that the fulvic acid significantly increases superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity.

@Ripple Creek: Well, in my opinion any kind of drugs are not good in the long run. In such a situation i would rather suggest to go for a body detox, which would recover you from any kind of disease or other related problems.
