What About The So-Called “Natural” Diabetes Treatments?

It’s impossible to have diabetes and not be bombarded by well-meaning friends who share all kinds of “natural” treatments and cures. So how do you sort through the facts to find something that really might help control blood sugars? Well, here’s my tip sheet on the herbs and natural remedies that seem to show some promise.

Cinnamon has been shown in several studies to help lower BG levels and “normalize” lipids in Type 2 diabetics.

Bilberry (not blueberry) leaves have also been reported to help with BG control when consumed in an anti-diabetic tea. But please be careful and use in small quantities. Too much bilberry can be toxic.

Evening Primrose Oil has been shown in studies to contain GLA (gammalinolenic acid), which can help prevent—and potentially reverse—the nerve damage (neuropathy) commonly caused by diabetes.
