While it may seem easier to just inject some insulin, diabetic natural medicine can be just as effective in managing your diabetic condition as conventional medicine. The caveat is that diabetic natural medicine requires a little more work on your part. You’ll need to make some major lifestyle changes. There has been some small studies that show a very low calorie diet of 600 calories a day, consisting primarily of liquid diet drinks and non-starch vegetables, can actually reverse type 2 diabetes. This doesn’t mean this one simple step will work for everyone, but is meant to illustrate the dramatic changes (and sometimes dramatic sacrifices) that can be achieved with diabetic natural medicine.

 

At the Heart of a Good Diabetic Natural Medicine Program is Diet Change

 

You should begin by eliminating or drastically reducing sugar, and other forms of sugar like fructose and glucose, corn syrup, molasses and honey, maple syrup, fruit juices and sugared beverages.

A good diabetic natural medicine diet will include high fiber foods like whole grains. Using a lot of bran and fiber in your diet will generally increase life span and improve overall health. Eating whole grains has been shown to lower the probability of developing type 2 diabetes.

Avoid red meats and especially processed foods like hot dogs and white bread. People that eat a typical Western diet that includes things like French fries and processed meats were about 50% more likely to develop type 2 diabetes.

 

What Other Lifestyle Changes Will Help My Diabetic Natural Medicine Treatment Succeed?

 

  • Stop smoking! Almost all the good you do yourself with any diabetic natural treatment program will be wiped out by smoking. It is just plain bad whether you are diabetic or not
  • Get enough sleep – sleep deprivation over time will decrease your body’s sensitivity to insulin. It also contributes to obesity and high blood pressure as well
  • Avoid caffeine whenever possible. This one can be tricky. Most people associate coffee with caffeine but you’d be surprised how many other things you consume contain caffeine. A very small amount is OK, but large amounts of caffeine also make the body insensitive to insulin.
  • Take supplements – research which supplements are used in different diabetic natural medicine programs. Don’t take them all, but try to find a few that seem to be working and stick to them. There are some good combination capsules compounded especially for diabetic natural medicine that can be very helpful. Make sure they have good quality control at the point of manufacture.

 

Diabetic natural medicine takes a little bit longer to be effective than an injected drug for obvious reasons. Be patient and find what works for you.
