Herbal Treatment for Diabetes

Diabetes is classified into type 1 diabetes and type 2 diabetes. Other categories of diabetes include juvenile diabetes, gestational diabetes, and impaired glucose tolerance.

Pre-diabetes is an indicator type and is often referred to as “Borderline diabetes”. It is diagnosed when blood sugar levels are higher than normal before a meal and when blood sugar is higher than normal after a meal.

Research strongly suggests that type 2 diabetes can be prevented or delayed by taking necessary steps such as following a diabetic diet, avoiding carbohydrates, refined sugars, processed foods, bakery products, and adopting a healthy lifestyle, engaging in physical activity such as swimming, exercise, cycling, and 45 minutes of brisk walking.

Type 1 diabetes is insulin-dependent diabetes, mostly diagnosed in children and people under the age of 30, which is believed to contribute to 10 percent of the world’s diabetics. This condition occurs when the human body produces little or no insulin due to damaged pancreatic beta cells.

Type 2 diabetes is mostly genetic and can be passed from one generation to another. It is caused by unhealthy lifestyles, zero or little physical activity, stress-induced eating, and unhealthy eating habits. Gestational diabetes develops during pregnancy and usually disappears after the delivery of the baby. However, this does not mean that it can be taken for granted.
