• Take 4-5 small meals rather three large meals a day. Adopt an all-natural lacto-vegetarian, low fat, alkaline diet consisting of fresh fruits (its sugar fructose doesn't need insulin to metabolize), nuts and vegetables (celery, cucumbers, string beans, onion, are excellent), whole meal bread and dairy products. Take more raw foods as they stimulate and increase insulin production.
• Take ½ grapefruit, or a glass of grapefruit juice with each meal to lower insulin levels.
• Cucumbers contain a hormone needed by the cells of the pancreas for producing insulin while onions and garlic help to reduce blood sugar in diabetes. Include them in the diet.
• Also include bitter gourd liberally in the diet as it contains plant-insulin which has been found effective in lowering blood and urine sugar levels: Add bitter gourd seeds in powdered form to food, take the juice of 4-5 bitter gourds every morning on an empty stomach, or boil the pieces in water and take the decoction.
• Taking ¼ teaspoon grounded cinnamon with each meal may help control blood sugar levels.
• Ground 8 - 20 teaspoons cumin seeds till fine. Take ½ teaspoon of the powder with water 2x daily.
• Eat the gotu kola during breakfast, lunch and dinner. Alternatively, boil about 30 pieces of the root or leaves of the gotu kola with 2 glasses of water. Filter and cool. Drink it 1x a day after dinner for 3 weeks.
• Rub down 3-5 young and fresh Indian bay leaves to open their pores and soak in a glass of warm water. Wait for a few minutes for the leaves to settle and the water to change to greenish color. Drink this water every morning and afternoon. Do not forget to exercise daily too to control diabetes.
