Signs and Symptoms of Diabetes

Diabetes is a serious illness where there is a persistently high glucose level in the bloodstream. Glucose (blood sugar) is the primary source of energy for the cells in our body, and diabetes occurs when the glucose level is not regulated properly by the hormone known as insulin.

Common symptoms of diabetes include:
  • frequent trips to the bathroom
  • unquenchable thirst
  • weight loss
  • fatigue and weakness
  • numbness or tingling sensation in the hands, feet or legs
  • blurred vision
  • dry or itchy skin
  • frequent infections or cuts and bruises that take a long time to heal
When these signs are associated with diabetes, they are the result of high glucose levels in the body. If you notice any of the above signs, schedule an appointment with your family doctor. Blood tests will be able to tell you if you have reason to be concerned about a diagnosis of diabetes.

Causes of Diabetes

There are two common types of diabetes:
  • Type 1 diabetes occurs when the body does not produce any insulin on its own. Type 1 diabetes has often been considered a childhood problem, but it can also develop in adults. This form of diabetes requires regular insulin injections for survival, and there is currently no known cure.
  • Type 2 diabetes occurs when the body becomes resistant to insulin or when there is an insulin deficiency. This type of diabetes can often be managed with regular exercise and a proper diet.
Thus far, medical scientists have been unable to pinpoint the exact causes of diabetes. However, there are certain factors which may increase the risk of developing diabetes, and therefore an individual must try to overcome them. The most common causes are:
  • obesity
  • smoking
  • having a family history of diabetes
  • eating an unbalanced diet
  • regularly consuming too much sugar, carbohydrates, fats, and proteins
  • emotional stress
  • age
  • certain virus infections such as the Coxsackie B virus

Home Remedies for the Treatment of Diabetes

Diabetes Home Remedy Using Flaxseed Oil

Supplements containing essential fatty acids, such as Flaxseed Oil, can help repair the cellular damage caused by a lifetime of high sugar consumption.

Rich in vitamins, minerals and other nutrients, Alfalfa makes an amazing herbal remedy to lower blood sugar levels.

  • Alfalfa capsules can also be taken following the directions on the package.

Herbal Remedy for Diabetes Using Cinnamon

Research has shown that small doses of Cinnamon can be beneficial in treating Type 2 Diabetes, since it can reduce blood sugar levels while simultaneously increasing the body's natural production of insulin.
  • Take half a teaspoon of Cinnamon powder each morning.
  • Repeat this for 40 days.
The Cinnamon powder can be consumed in a number of ways:
  • Sprinkle cinnamon into your coffee.
  • Add a cinnamon stick to your favorite herbal tea.
  • Mix cinnamon powder into unsweetened applesauce.
  • Add cinnamon powder to your cereal or oatmeal.
NOTE: If you are taking medication to control blood sugar levels, any regular consumption of cinnamon should only be taken after consulting with your doctor.

Natural Remedy for Diabetes Using Whole Foods

Whole foods such as fruits,vegetables, grains, beans, nuts, and seeds are rich in fiber and other nutritional factors that help stabilize blood sugar levels.
  • Eat at least five fruits every day. Fruits like banana, blackberry, blueberries, cranberries, figs, grapefruit, pomegranate juice, granny smith apples, kiwi fruits, and citrus fruits are highly recommended.
  • Try to eat every color from whole foods each day to control high blood sugar levels. Excellent vegetables include artichoke, black beans, cabbage, carrots, cucumber, garlic, lettuce, onion, radish, string beans, tomatos, spinach, squash, turnip, and brown rice.

Using Exercise as a Home Remedy for Diabetes

Obesity is one of the main causes of diabetes. Most people with Type 2 diabetes are 30 to 60 pounds overweight. For them only losing this excessive weight can control their Diabetes. Muscle building and weight training can play an important role in Diabetes control. Having more muscle and less fat reduces the insulin intake requirement.
  • Taking a brisk walk for about 45 minutes each to 1 hour each day helps normalize body weight. It can also help correct insulin resistance which is the main problem in Type 2 diabetes.
  • 10 to 40 minutes of Yoga each day can help to relieve stress, which is a contributing factor for Type 2 diabetes.
If you exercise everyday and are taking insulin injections, you should monitor your blood sugar level closely since exercise may allow you to cut down your insulin by 30 to 50 percent.

One thing to watch out for with the pill-form of Apple Cider Vinegar is that some pills don't actually contain any ACV! Companies often use other weak organic acid salts plus flavoring to make it smell like ACV. For this reason, the liquid form of ACV is usually a safer bet.

Posted by Jeimja on Jan 21 2008 16:43:52
The article mentioned apple cider vinegar ... there are several companies that offer this in pill form, like those reviewed at http://www.nutritionaltree.com/reviews/weight-loss/weight-loss-combinations/vitabase_cider-vinegar-complex.aspx. Does anyone know if the pills are as effective as drinking straight vinegar?

I`ve attended a discourse held by one of the Toronto life insurance companies presenting the possible remedies and solutions for diabetes. The majority of the people voted for the whole foods to be the best remedy and they provided wonderful recipes to encourage people. They regarded the most unendurable symptom the thirst which makes diabetic people to desire the extra cold drinks which can cause flu. It would be so great to have regular meetings with people suffering from diabetes and providing opportunity to do exercises or try the products which are concidered as remedy for this terrible disease.
