Natural Treatment Of Diabetes - Foods Used To Lower Blood Sugar

The natural treatment of diabetes in 1550 B.C. was to consume increased quantities of a certain food to lower blood sugar: wheat grains high in fiber. This is still good advice today and has been proven effective. Plant foods should still be the first option to treat diabetes symptoms instead of man made substances.

Garlic and raw onions are foods that have been used for centuries in Europe, Asia and the Middle East to lower blood sugar in the natural treatment of diabetes.

Ginseng has been widely used in treating diabetes for at least 2,000 years in India and China.

The common mushroom is a very popular remedy used in parts of Europe to lower blood sugar.

Barley bread is a common natural treatment of diabetes in Iraq.

Other foods used in different countries for the natural treatment of diabetes include cucumber, beans, fenugreek seeds, cabbage, cinnamon, coriander seeds, Indian gooseberry and lettuce.

Studies have confirmed that most of these foods or their compounds either lower blood sugar or stimulate insulin production. Here are some of the heavy hitters in the natural treatment of diabetes symptoms:

Artichokes are also beneficial in the treatment of diabetes symptoms and help to regulate blood sugar levels. Ripe artichokes are generally available only during autumn or fall. Artichokes are best eaten raw in salads.

Green Tea is also known to lower blood sugar levels (it also helps prevent cancer and cavities and aids in weight loss) and should be consumed daily.
