Number of persons with diabetes mellitus continues to increase at this time. “One reason is the excessive consumption of carbohydrates. Too many carbohydrates will cause excessive production of sugar in the blood.’s Excessive blood sugar causes diabetes. The bad news, when it is exposed, can only be controlled diabetes with blood sugar control.

Medicinal plants can be consumed to help control blood sugar. “Herbal medicine works like insulin. Herbs can be used long term without side effects mean. Medicinal plants constructive function, namely to rebuild and heal damaged tissue complications. Medicinal herbs work lowers blood sugar by inhibiting the mechanism of sugar absorption thanks to the fiber content high.

Crops such as bitter melon works to improve pancreatic beta cells. “There’s also that stimulates pancreatic beta cells of blood sugar.

For diabetics who must take medication from a doctor to control blood sugar levels, need to consult with your doctor first before taking herbs. “Keep the distance of time between taking the drug by drinking medicinal plants.

Here are some herbs that lower blood sugar:

Bitter Melon (Momordica charantia)

5. Bitter melon (Momordica charantia)

Momordica charantia, called bitter melon or bitter gourd in English, is a tropical and subtropical vine of the family Cucurbitaceae, Bitter melon, also known as balsam pear, is a tropical vegetable widely cultivated in Asia, Africa and South America, and has been used extensively in folk medicine as a remedy for diabetes. There are many varieties that differ substantially in the shape and bitterness of the fruit.

 The blood sugar lowering action of the fresh juice or extract of the unripe fruit has been clearly established in both experimental and clinical studies.

Pharmacological effects: anti-inflammatory, cold nature. Charantin and polypeptide-P in bitter melon stimulates pancreatic beta cells release insulin.

Bitter melon is composed of several compounds with confirmed anti-diabetic properties. Charantin, extracted by alcohol, is a hypoglycaemic agent composed of mixed steroids that is more potent than the drug tolbutamide which is often used in the treatment of diabetes. Momordica also contains an insulin-like polypeptide, polypeptide-P, which lowers blood sugar levels when injected subcutaneously into type 1 diabetic patients. The oral administration of 50-60 ml of the juice has shown good results in clinical trials.

Bitter melon also contains a lectin that has insulin-like activity due to its non-protein-specific linking together to insulin receptors. This lectin lowers blood glucose concentrations by acting on peripheral tissues and, similar to insulin’s effects in the brain, suppressing appetite. This lectin is likely a major contributor to the hypoglycemic effect that develops after eating bitter melon.

How to use: The traditional way to consume bitter melon as a herbal medicine is to squeeze the juice.  200 grams of fresh bitter melon fruit cut into pieces, then juiced or boiled. Then the water was drunk.

Excessively high doses of bitter melon juice can cause abdominal pain and diarrhea. Small children or anyone with hypoglycemia should not take bitter melon, since this herb could theoretically trigger or worsen low blood sugar, or hypoglycemia. Furthermore, diabetics taking hypoglycemic drugs (such as chlorpropamide, glyburide, or phenformin) or insulin should use bitter melon with caution, as it may potentiate the effectiveness of the drugs, leading to severe hypoglycemia.

6. Green tea

Pharmacological effects: polyphenols in tea increases cell sensitivity to insulin. Effects of green tea on insulin was once investigated by Hiroshi Tsuneki et al and published in the journal BMC Pharmacology 2004 edition.

How to use: one tablespoon green tea leaves brewed with hot water. Drink after meals.

Bungur (lagerstromia speciosa) is effective for diabetes

In addition to the above types, there are bungur the pink flowers, that is the type of lagerstromia indica this plant can also be used in medicine for Diabetes & Diabetes Mellitus Drugs. It’s leaf and fruit contain bungur plantisul for medicine, the activities of substances such as insulin. According to the results of research, the leaves are old bungur of 20 g. If boiled in 100 ml water for 45 minutes and drink, have the power units of insulin 6-6,7.

In fact, the entire plant can be used as diabetes herbal remedy to cure diabetes naturally, but the best is that leaves are old.

Bungur (lagerstromia speciosa) is a tree-shaped plant which reaches 5-25 m

How to make herbal ingredient:

• Prepare 30 g bungur old leaves for Natural Diabetes Drugs that are still fresh of the type bungur with a purple flower, and then boiled in 150 ml of water for about 1 hour.
• The boiled water is then divided by three to be drunk three times a day each 50 ml.
• Take medicine & Natural Diabetes Melitus Drugs should half or one hour before meals. This is done every day until diabetes disease is recovered.

Expert Researcher Main fields of central Biotechnology Research Biotechnology, Indonesian Institute of Sciences (LIPI), Dr. If. M. Ahkam Subroto, M.App.Sc, revealed that, until now, there is one new example of conventional anti-diabetes drug developed from herbal sources, namely biguanida metformin from Galega officinalis.

Clinical data, but many began to appear, supporting the indication for diabetes several other herbal. Efikasi security and the mechanism of herbals have been examined in clinical tests of 42 random and 16 random non-clinical testing.

Diabetes disease

some of these herbal actually have known and be used long enough Indonesia community. Pare among others, onion, garlic, ginseng and aloe vera. Some Indonesia herbal, which is currently being examined as diabetes drugs, especially because the activity of inhibitor-glukosidase. These herbs are: Belimbing wuluh (Averrhoa bilimbi), Brotowali (Tinospora crispa), Sambung nyawa (Gynura procumbens), Pare (Momordica charantia), Sambiloto (Andrographis paniculata), Mahkota dewa (Phaleria macrocarpa L.), Salam leaf (Syzygium polyanthum [Wight.] Walp), Mengkudu (Morinda citrifolia L.), Red fruit (Pandanus conoideus) and sukun (Anthocarpus communis)

Garlic (Allium sativum L.)

The consumption of garlic by add it into the vegetables sup / daily cuisine. One garlic a day, to be able to decrease the risk of hypertension as a complicating factor risk of diabetes.

Diabetes (including its precursor, Metabolic Syndrome) is one of the top five most significant diseases in the developed world and is rapidly becoming a burden in the developing world too. However contemporary research has found that several spices including cinnamon, garlic, fenugreek and caper have the potential to be effective natural treatments for diabetes.

Herbal Remedy for Diabetes

In order to understand the management of diabetes, it is helpful to consider one of the most important underlying defects in this disease; that of insulin resistance. Before a cell will allow glucose through its protective membrane, its insulin receptor must be “turned on” by insulin or a chemical mimic.

Insulin resistance occurs when the receptor develops a weakened response to insulin resulting in the cell’s failure to absorb sufficient quantities of glucose from the blood. This process culminates in energy deprivation in the cells and raised blood glucose levels.

The primary cause of a poor insulin receptor response is the chronic over-production of insulin. Not only does too much insulin lead to receptor failure, but wide fluctuations in insulin levels are also known to be an important cause of this condition. These oscillating levels are, in turn, closely associated with a diet high in refined carbohydrate foods.

Extreme changes of insulin levels and associated insulin resistance are abnormalities common to both diabetes and metabolic syndrome and are typically the result of a diet dominated by high glycemic index foods. The rapid absorption of high GI foods results in abnormally high blood glucose levels. In order to stimulate the cells to absorb this sudden glucose load, the pancreas responds by releasing larger than normal quantities of insulin.

The excessive amount of insulin produced to achieve this effect results in a sudden fall in blood glucose, and within a couple of hours this level becomes very low. The subsequent intake of more high GI foods causes the blood glucose to rise dramatically once more, perpetuating the cycle of wildly fluctuating glucose and insulin levels. If this steady bombardment of the receptors by large amounts of insulin continues over a long period, it eventually leads to their insensitivity and malfunction and, finally, insulin resistance.

One of the best natural treatments for diabetes is a good diet and it is the most effective ways to prevent insulin resistance. The consumption of predominantly low GI foods means that insulin is released slowly. As a result, glucose is absorbed by cells in a controlled manner and blood glucose levels do not rise and fall so rapidly. This prevents the harmful glucose – and thus insulin – peaks and troughs that are associated with the repeated ingestion of large quantities of high GI foods.

Reducing the proportion of high GI foods in the diet has another, indirect benefit in terms of preventing insulin resistance. Such foods are typically fattening and reducing their intake can lead to weight loss. Obesity, and particularly “central obesity”, is another other important cause of insulin resistance and tackling it is an effective way to reduce the risk of diabetes and other chronic diseases.

Other invaluable dietary tools for preventing and managing insulin resistance and diabetes are the spices. These foods counter the disease processes in several ways and can be tremendously helpful, irrespective of whether individuals are making dietary or other lifestyle changes.

Cinnamon (Cinnamomum burmani Bl.)

Cinnamon (Cinnamomum burmani Bl.), for example, is a potent inducer of insulin sensitivity and the addition of as little as one gram a day to the diet can reduce the blood glucose levels of diabetics by a staggering 30 percent. It does this by enhancing the enzymes that increase insulin receptor sensitivity and inhibiting those enzymes with the opposite action.

Cinnamon has the added benefit of lowering the abnormal lipid levels commonly found in diabetics and reducing oxidative stress caused by lipid oxidation in these patients. Cinnamon is now available as a powder or an extract as a treatment for diabetes.

Fenugreek (Trigonella foenum graeum)

Fenugreek (Trigonella foenum graeum) is also highly effective at modulating glucose metabolism and can lower the blood glucose levels of diabetics by up to 45 percent. This spice both increases insulin receptor sensitivity and normalizes the imbalanced blood lipid levels of diabetics. The fiber contained in fenugreek also lowers the GI of a meal, thus modulating the post-prandial blood glucose levels by slowing the absorption of high GI foods.

ginger

Ginger and caper increase sensitivity to insulin, and caper mimics the effects of insulin. Garlic and coriander are also insulin mimics, while coriander enhances insulin secretion.

These and most other spices can, with their rich array of antioxidants, help to prevent the complications of diabetes by reducing the oxidation of fats.

Several spices, including chilies, can also help combat associated conditions such as obesity by increasing the metabolic rate and therefore helping to “burn off” excess calories.

Spices possess an amazing potency and range of weapons in the fight against diabetes. By helping to prevent, delay and even treat one of worst and most widespread chronic diseases afflicting the modern world, they offer useful, natural treatments for diabetes.
