What is alternative medicine? Alternative medicine, Holistic Medicine, Complementary medicine and Natural healing therapies includes all other ways of medical treatments besides main stream “Allopathic” medical practice. Alternative medicine includes any drug or non drug technique like Herbal treatments, Acupuncture, Homeopathic, Reiki therapy and has become more popular in recent years. It is used by many people as an addition to conventional Allopathic medical treatments and some others completely depend on it.

 

 

Type 1 and type 2 diabetes also have these Natural Herbal and dietary supplement treatments available to its patient and there have been several claims that these works. These are available as dietary supplements, acupuncture, and herbal remedies for diabetes also. In this post my focus is to talk about these cures for Diabetes prevention. Many of these have been used in clinical research trials also.

 

While starting using these natural resources make sure to consult a qualified health professional. Blood glucose control is extremely important or it can create more public health problems. In case you are taking medicines or insulin it can very easily create hypoglycemia unless programmed for your condition and eating habits. Also checking the blood sugars keeping a log of the glucose range through out the day becomes even more important if you start taking supplements along with the regular medication that you are using. So, focus on your blood glucose range, this will tell you how these supplements are working for you.

 

 

Here is almost complete list of supplements that have been used by many users to improve their diabetic cure needs. This list of nutritional supplements provide information that can help you select some supplements that may help you improve your blood glucose levels. Depending on your diabetic consultant use these as per instruction by your doctor only and follow the results carefully.

 

 1. Chromium Picolonate or Chromium polynicotinate

 2. Magnesium Glycinate

 3. White Kidney bean extract – carb blocker

 4. Ginseng

 5. Aloe-Vera gel

6. Alpha-lipoc-acid

7. Omega 3 fatty acid and Omega 3 foods

 8. Co enzyme Q 10

 11. Vandim

 12. Chitosan

 13. Cinnamon, cinnamon sticks, cinnamon tea, cinnamon powder

 14. Bitter melon

 15. Fenugreek seeds

 16. Polyphenols

 

The above list is the result of my extensive reading on the dietary supplements and natural remedies to improve blood sugar. Many of above mentioned products are used for reducing BMI, body weight, and other diseases also. Some are dietary supplements and others are herbs for diabetes prevention

 

Chromium

 

The kind of Chromium that helps improve diabetes are

 

1. Chromium Picolinate

2. Chromium GTF (glucose tolerance factor)

 

Chromium is an essential trace mineral mineral that body needs in small amounts for fat and carbohydrate metabolism. It plays an important role in regulating high blood sugar levels to normal blood sugar range Chromium is found in many foods but in small amounts. Chromium has been researched for its use to prevent diabetes 2 for a for a long time, but results have been mixed. It still needs more advanced search for conclusive results. If you want to use this as a dietary supplement consult your doctor and monitor your blood sugars to avoid diabetes hypoglycemia.

 

Magnesium

 

Magnesium is a mineral needed by human body along with other nutrition components of vitamins and mineral. It is found in dark green leafy vegetables, nuts and whole grains. It helps the metabolism by regulating blood sugars levels and performs several other functions for a healthy body. When used in excessive doses creates physical common illnesses like diarrhea, trouble breathing , constipation symptoms and palpitation. However, since it supports lower blood sugar normal levels magnesium supplements can be used as a great dietary supplement for diabetics, the best form of magnesium to use is Magnesium Glycinate. Start with 100 mg per day. Your doctors opinion is always an important factor here. Magnesium have been a part of research for diabetes for a long time, and results have been mixed and so therefore there are no final conclusive results yet. In case you want to use this supplement ask your doctor and monitor your blood sugar closely to avoid diabetes hypoglycemia.

 

 

 

Alpha-Lipoic-Acid

 

This antioxidant is very powerful and it enhances body’s ability to use insulin and so blood sugar level stay in normal range. It helps blood sugar by

 

 1. lowering the blood sugar levels

 2. by improving the nerve disorder (neuropathy) caused by excessive blood sugars

 3. by effecting the insulin sensitivity

 

Diabetics who use this dietary supplement along with the prescribed medicine must monitor their blood sugars carefully, as it can cause diabetes hypoglycemia. However, research for this supplement are not conclusive yet.

 

Finally, focus on your diabetes to maintain blood sugar levels normal range and in case you feel that dietary supplements or natural herbal remedies will help you improve your health make an appointment with your doctor to check before starting. Exchange your point of view and come to a final decision with your doctors opinion about your choices. Also since alternative medicine is an additional treatment for your blood sugar levels to improve, you have to monitor the normal glucose range carefully, to avoid dibeties hypoglycemia.
