Natural Remedies For Diabetes

What is diabetes?
Diabetes is characterized by higher than normal blood sugar (blood glucose) levels in the body. While a certain amount of glucose is necessary for proper cell nutrition abnormally high glucose levels can result is not good for your health and can lead to serious complications.

Glucose needed for proper cell metabolism is found in the food we each and is also produced by the liver and muscles. However, without the aid of insulin (produced by the pancreas) glucose is not able to enter the cells. Consequently, if insulin levels are too low or the insulin doesn't work properly, glucose is not able to enter the cells, remains in the blood, whereby increasing blood levels of glucose that lead to diabetes.

Thre are three primary types of diabetes.

Type 1

Diabetes, formerly known as juvenile diabetes or insulin-dependent diabetes, is commonly diagnosed in adolescents, teenagers, or young adults. In type 1 diabets, the pancreas is unable to make insulin because the body's immune system has attacked and destroyed the pancreas cell responsible for insulin production. Traditional treatments for type 1 diabetes includes taking insulin shots or using an insulin pump, making dietary changes, exercise, taking aspirin daily, and strictly controlling blood pressure and cholesterol.

Type 2
Diabetes, formerly known as adult-onset diabetes or non-insulin-dependent diabetes, is by far the most common form of diabetes in the world. People can develop type 2 diabetes at any time during their life -- even during early childhood. In type 2 diabetes, the pancreas is unable to produce enough insulin, and the fat, muscle, or liver cells do not use it properly. Obesity can drastically increase the propability of developing type 2 diabetes. Traditional treatments for type 2 diabetes includes using doctor prescribed diabetes medications, dieatary changes, regular exercise, taking aspirin daily, and controlling blood pressure and cholesterol.

Gestational Diabetes
While not as common as type 1 or type 2 develop gestational diabetes can develop during the late stages of pregnancy. Although this form of diabetes usually goes away after the baby is born, a woman who has had gestational diabetes is more likely to develop type 2 diabetes later in life. Gestational diabetes is caused by the increased hormone leveles during pregnancy or from a shortage of insulin in the body during pregnancy.

People with diabetes have a high risk of contracting a number of ancillary health conditions including heart disease and atherosclerosis. In addition, those with diabetes have a higher mortality rate if they also have high homocysteine levels.

Early Symptoms Diabetes

The symptoms are due to persistent high levels of sugar in the circulating blood. These symptoms are
Frequent urination - When blood sugar is too high, your kidneys can't absorb the excess glucose. The glucose leaks into urine, pulling water with it.
Extreme thirst - The process of dehydration makes you thirsty.
Blurry vision - High blood sugar may cause new blood vessels to form and may damage old blood vessels on the retina at the back of your eye.
Weight loss - To make up for the lost fuel, your body burns fat reserves, and you may lose weight.
Fatigue - When your cells don't get enough glucose, their primary fuel source, fatigue results.
Hunger - Burning of fat reserves also may make you hungry

Can herbal remedies and dietary supplements help?

There is a great deal of evidence to suggest that the use of carefully chosen herbal remedies and dietary supplements can help to both prevent diabetes and to keep it under control in those who have already developed it.
Along with the correct lifestyle changes, herbal remedies and dietary supplements can reduce or eliminate the need for prescription medication and can also aid in preventing some of the tissue and organ damage associated with uncontrolled blood sugar levels.
