Increased blood sugar after eating is a common cause of insulin resistance and increases the risk of type 2 diabetes. In addition to a reasonable diet, many folk remedies have been studied and shown positive effects in stabilizing blood sugar levels. According to Medical News Today, some natural leaves and seeds can slow down glucose absorption and improve pancreatic function.
One of the commonly used remedies is guava leaves for drinking. Guava leaves contain flavonoids such as quercetin that help inhibit carbohydrate metabolism, thereby slowing down the absorption of sugar into the blood. You can take 10 - 15 young guava leaves, wash them, cook them with 1 liter of water for 10 minutes, divide them into 2 drinks a day, after main meals.
Methi ( curry grass) is also an effective ingredient in controlling blood sugar. They contain galactomannan soluble fiber and the particular amino acid that can stimulate insulin production. Users often soak 1 tablespoon of methylation in warm water overnight and drink it the next morning.
In addition, cinnamon - a familiar spice - has the ability to increase insulin sensitivity and reduce fasting blood sugar. You can mix 1/2 tablespoon of cinnamon powder with warm water or sprinkle it on oatmeal and smoothies every morning.
However, folk remedies should only be used as supportive drugs, not a complete replacement for treatment drugs. People with underlying diseases or taking sugar-reducing drugs should consult a doctor before applying.
