Diabetes treatments are essential, but along with that you can also make use of some home remedies that can assist in the betterment of your diabetic health.
Diabetes commonly occurs due to a lack of hormone called insulin in the body that is produced by pancreas. Treating it is necessary but total cure is far sighted. There are two types of diabetes, one when the hormone insulin is produced insufficiently by which glucose level cannot be balanced. The other when insulin is not produced at all and these patients depend on insulin injection to maintain the glucose levels. Some of the sure symptoms of diabetes include enhanced thirst and hunger, sudden loss in weight, fatigue, excessive urination and bruises that takes long to heal.
Diabetes can lead to many ailments, including cardiovascular diseases, retinopathy, and amputation of effected leg or any part of the body, kidney disease or may even lead to blindness. Apart from regular treatments and medications, one can also treat the problem with the help of home remedies.
Jambul
Using the leaves, berries and seeds of jambul plant can help you to balance the glucose levels in the blood. The jambul plant is seasonal and hence would not be available to you all throughout the year; you can purchase it at your local market. Powder the seeds from jambul plant and take in water for every two days and it could help in the effective functioning of the pancreas.
