What Causes Diabetes?
When we eat food, it gets broken down by the digestive system into its various nutrients. The carbohydrate that is present in food is broken down into glucose i.e., sugar, which requires assistance to reach its destination, i.e., the cells. A hormone called insulin (secreted by the pancreas) assists this glucose transport to cells and plays a key role in glucose absorption into the cells.
In diabetes, the pancreas either does not produce enough insulin or the cells do not respond to the presence of insulin and cannot utilize it (Type 2 diabetes), or the pancreas does not produce insulin at all (Type 1 diabetes) . As a result, there is an increase in blood glucose levels, which is referred to as diabetes. However, different reasons can lead to the development of diabetes. Moreover, there are different types of diabetes as well.
Home Remedies for Diabetes:
1. Stress management
Stress might be the reason behind your rising blood sugar levels. Learning ways to manage stress might be of help in such conditions. Deep breathing, walking, meditation, working out, pursuing a hobby, gardening, and listening to your favourite music might be helpful to destress.
Approaching a mental health counsellor and asking for help might also be a good first step towards coping with stress better. Therefore, you should discuss this with your doctor and reach a proper conclusion regarding methods of stress management.
2. Eating right
It is important to consult a doctor or nutritionist and decide on a suitable diet plan for your health needs. Your doctor might recommend that you eat foods that are rich in fibre, like whole grains, fruits, and vegetables etc. They might recommend drinking water instead of juices and soda. These carefully devised dietary changes, prescribed by your doctor, might prove to be helpful for diabetes.
3. Exercise
Your doctor might recommend that you stay active most of the days and exercise regularly to stay fit and active. This might be helpful to lose weight if you are overweight, maintain a healthy weight, and control blood sugar levels as well. You can start exercising by taking frequent and short walks during the day. Then, you can slightly ramp up your exercise routine by trying out various other forms of exercise like yoga, stretch bands, etc. However, you should consult a professional before deciding on and adapting to a new exercise routine.
4. Onion
An animal study on rabbits found that dried onion powder might have a potential blood sugar-lowering activity (anti-hyperglycaemic). Another study on rats showed that a bioactive compound present in onions might have a blood glucose-lowering effect. In yet another study conducted on patients with diabetes, the blood sugar reducing the potential of onion juice was noted. However, more research is required to prove the effects of diabetes home remedies Ayurveda might have to offer. Kindly consult an Ayurvedic physician before using any herbal supplement or remedy.
5. Bel
Bel, also known as Bengal quince or Bilva, is scientifically referred to as Aegle marmelos. It was seen in studies that the leaves of the bel tree might have the potential to lower the sugar, urea, and cholesterol of the blood. It might also help to stop the sudden rise of blood sugar that usually occurs after taking food. However, more studies are required to prove the effects of such a natural cure for diabetes. Please do not use it without consulting a doctor.
6. Neem
Animal studies have shown that neem might help lower blood sugar. It might help increase glucose uptake by cells and deposition of glycogen (complex sugar-containing glucose) in rats. However, more human studies are required on the possible use of neem for diabetes. You should consult a doctor.
7. Babul
Its scientific name is Acacia arabica. It is found commonly all over India in the wild. It might have an anti-diabetic effect by potentially helping the release of insulin hormone and lowering blood glucose levels. In animal studies, the seeds of babul were found to have the potential to decrease blood glucose levels by affecting the cells of the pancreas, which might help in insulin production. However, more studies are required to prove such claims; therefore, you should consult a doctor.
8. Aloe Vera
Aloe vera is another such herb which might have the potential to aid in managing diabetes. Animal studies have shown that aloe vera might potentially decrease blood glucose and increase the capacity of cells to utilize glucose. It might also influence the secretion of insulin from the pancreatic cells. However, more research is required to prove the potential uses of aloe vera for diabetes. Therefore, please consult a doctor
