There are very many home remedies and herbal preparations and ayurvedic medicines in circulation now-a-days and people advocating them usually have strong claims for their effectiveness. However, no well studied opinion is available from professionals and doctors which may upheld these claims. I am inviting first hand opinions for these and such other treatments and medicines from experts, professionals and doctors for the benefits of diabetics.

Some home remedies, herbal preparations and ayurvedic medicines may be really effective in controlling blood sugar. Since there are no scientific opinion (as you have rightly said), the only way is try it on oneself without compromising on the current medicine intake and see if it works! For example, soaking Bhindi overnight is one such remedy. Many users have confirmed positive results with this but it does not somehow seem to work for all (that includes me!). Similarly, many users have brought down their BS levels using by fenugreek (methi) seeds, cinnamon powder, etc.. These are what we call "grandma" remedies. Trying them out does not cost much and these have very little or no side effects.
Dear Venkas1: Thanks for the reply. The Bhindi-water is tried by few that I have known and they seem to be happy about it. There is one similar one. A mixture of Wheat + Barley + Edible Gum + Kalongy (nigella Sativa), in equal proportion, is boiled and digested overnight. One cup-full of this water is taken early morning for about seven days. The intake may be progressively reduced since then. Some of my friends who have tried it do speak of this household remedy with good appreciative regard, though I am yet to try it out. - H S Parekh, Ahmedabad, Gujarat
No one has yet testified he/she got cured by this remedy. I will also try as i got the mtrl. Did u try? have anyone who got cured?
Hai,
God is great.Every human has got some power to heal their illness by nature.Not only human but also all animals.This is a god's gift.Now when you eat more salt you will feel thirsty and you will get compelled to drink water.By urinating this will go out and your extra salt also.In the early stage of Diabatics you will feel thirsty and you will drink so much water,and thus neutrelises the body glucose.If you don't have any Kidney problem why don't you continue this process all your life?Drink one and a half litter(1.5 Litter) water in the empty stomuch and take breakfast after one hour.Consume water more often.Try this without any extra cost.
There is also the Tree Jamoon (Syzygium cumini) option though it is not avlbl year round you get its powder along with a mixture of its bark etc from Amar Hospital , RT Street, BVK Iyengar road,Bangalore.
Any one tried insulin leaves?
Dear Anilbhai: What is this "Insulin Leaves" ?! and how are they supposed to help- h s parekh
The Botanical name is Costus Igneus. In South these leaves are very popular. They were used earlier in Sidha Medicines but now eaten fresh and also dried power as the word spreads. I understand that Allopathic doctors are also prescribing in South. Recommended dosage is 2 leaves if yr glucose is >200, 1 leaf if it is <200 twice a day. The guys claim that in 1 month you will get normal level. I have been using them for about 3 weeks. My glucose level has come down from 450 to about 300 in 3 weeks with my other allopathic medicines. I did not have any adverse reaction but not cured. May be my problem is 15 yrs old, hence. I will post the results if i get cured fully.
Dear Mr Parekh! Though I don't have specific medical background I do feel with no comments on other kinds of medical systems that herbal or Ayurvedic system of medicine may be effective and in fact should be more beneficial for the following reasons.
1)Diabetes is a long treatment. Any medicine taken for long may have unforeseen side effects. This herbal system of medicine may be having less quantum of side effects for the simple reason most of the ingredients of these medicines consist of natural ones.2)Whatever the range of effectiveness of any kind of medicine the actual level of health would be that of our own as that of the happiness within ourselves. In other words medicines would give support only and actual quality of health should be achieved by us.3)Make hard work part of your routine life keeping away unwanted comforts.4) regular exercise like brisk walking little yoga plus meditation.5) Always develop sense of well being at the depth of your mind and this can not be achieved by enjoying things ourselves but by sharing our happiness with others particularly with less fortunate lot. THE ESSENCE OF HAPPINES HAD BEEN GIVEN BY SRI JAGADEESH CHANDRA BOSE THE INTERNATIONALLY RENOWNED INDIAN SCIENTIST-"YOU CANNOT BE HAPPY AND IN FACT YOU CAN NEVER HAPPY UNLESS YOU MAKE OTHERS HAPPY"
Mr.Nitins is aboslutely right. No Ayurvedic or other alternate medicines will work for Diabetics. Control your food habits and exercise regularly and be healthy. Trying all other things is a real waste of time and energy. As well money.
Take your doctor prescribed allopathy medicines regularly and do the exercises. Walking, Yoga and meditation will keep check of your sugar levels.
There are lots of people who say lot of things, but nothing will work out and please don't get carried away by these so called alternate medicines.
This is my honest finding.
Go to the doctor for routine check up.
I had been diagnosed with diabetes two and a half years ago. I had medication for a few months. After that I have switched over to simple yoga (discipline) and strict diet (discipline). Today I do not take any medicine and I take a spoonful of sugar for coffee in the morning and twice at 10.00 A.M and 4.00 P.M tea with sugar. If you are disciplined surely you would control your diabetes. Body weight and make sure the extra and unwanted fat dissolves from the body and you would surely regain your health.
I am a Catholic Priest with a PhD in Psychology. Enjoys a strong dependent belief in God, a strong belief in oneself that I must work towards my health and rarely don not give uncalled for advice and reluctantly may give some suggestions for anyone to decide.
Keep a time frame for burning up your unwanted fat and you would see the difference. God bless you.
Hi,
You may be right as I had spoken on the lines which I am experienced. What is adlibitum carbo hydrates. Pl tell me more about this.
Thanks a lot.
I am diabetic since eight years and i used to take powder of bitterguard seeds (karela seeds),jamun seeds,amla in equal proportion with methiseeds powder,dalchini and neem powder. Alongwith yoga for about one hour in morning it keeps me away from allopethic medicines. This is for your information please
With diabetes there are many things to watch for, think about the eyes, think about the feet. What happens? Do not rely on home made remedies, not good. Yoga yes. Ensure you work only on the asanas that are safe for you. No inverts, caution with twists. Meditation good. Remember the first limb of Ashtanga, the Yamas, Ahimsa, non harming.
For the many who are not sure of Ashtanga, it is Patanjali's Eight Limbs.
Avoid meditation if you suffer from epilepsy, if you suffer from depression. In that case you can try Bahiranga yoga, that is the first five limbs.
Namaste.
You are very welcome. Take great care of yourself.
