1. Passion fruit meal
A good home remedy for diabetes with passion fruit is to consume the passion fruit peel meal daily because it is rich in pectin, a type of soluble fiber that works to reduce the absorption of glucose in the blood and is very useful in the treatment of diabetes.
Ingredients
- 1 passion fruit
Method of preparation
Open the passion fruit, remove the juice and the seeds, leaving only the peels and bring the peels to the oven, until they are dry. With the aid of a knife, remove the outside of the peel and beat the white part in the blender until it forms powder. Store passion fruit peel powder in a dry, clean, capped container away from light. Consume 2 scoops per day, in liquids or with meals.
2. Use oats or ground flaxseed
Adding 1 tablespoon of whole oats or ground flax at all meals is also a great way to control blood sugar. Simply add the whole oats or ground flaxseed in the soup, the yogurt, the fruit salad, the beans or inside the bread with cheese on the plate, for example.
In this way the sugar present in the food reaches the cells in a more lenient way, avoiding the peaks of glycemia. This even helps to lose weight and loosen the gut because whole oats are rich in fiber.
3. Fenugreek tea
Fenugreek ( Trigonella foenum-graecum ) has been shown to be able to lower blood sugar because it contains compounds such as 4-hydroxy isoleucine, trigonellin, galactomannan and trigonosides, which help regulate blood glucose.
Ingredients
- 1 cup water
- 2 teaspoons of fenugreek
How to use
Put the water and leaves in a cup and let stand for 3 hours, then boil the ingredients, strain and drink while warm, 3 times a day.
4. Garlic extract
Taking the garlic extract, scientifically called Allium sativum, is a good natural treatment for controlling diabetes. Garlic extract reduces total cholesterol and LDL and has benefits in glycemic control, so it is recommended to take 200 and 400 mg kg of body weight as a supplement to food and taking oral antidiabetics.
5. Burdock tea
Burdock tea ( Arctium lappa) also has a hypoglycemic effect and is useful in the control of type 2 diabetes.
Ingredients
- 1 liter of water
- 20 g of dried burdock leaves
How to make
Boil 1 liter of water and add 1 tablespoon of chopped burdock leaves. Then cover and let stand 10 minutes or until tender. Finally, it is necessary to strain the mixture and to drink it little by little during the day.
