Dear all,

I am 43 year old female. Had gestational diabetes 7 years ago. Became diabetic again since one year. Started allopathic medicine last month as the FBS reached 290 and PPBS 280. Even after taking medicine , the FBS still was high 180 and PPBS 230. Started taking guava leaf tea after food and pleasantly surprised by the result as the FBS became 108 and PPBS 90-130. Anyone in the community ever tried this? Does this result last? Thank you for your time.

Walk for about 15 minutes after every meal.

Do not consume food after 8:00 pm.

Adopt low carbohydrate diet.

Check your blood sugar (FBS or PPBS) every day and avoid foods that cause high blood sugar.

Maintain FBS level @ 100 mg/dL and PPBS level @ 140 mg/dL.

Learn more about type 2 diabetes and its complications.

Plant-based therapies that have been shown in some studies to have anti-diabetic properties include:

--

Aloe vera.

Bilberry extract.

Bitter melon.

Cinnamon.

Fenugreek.

Ginger.

Okra.
