Over the past year or so, I’ve gotten the same question many times: what are natural remedies for diabetes? I’ve taken my time answering it directly because it is a condition with many variables, and I have been studying and researching everything. However, after so long of “doing my homework”, I have found 5 very good natural remedies that can help. Most all of these can be done in conjunction with current medication, or can be done alone to help keep your levels manageable.

Of course, be sure to discuss anything with your doctor. Do NOT stop taking medication if you are currently on any for diabetes. Even when you see improvement, talk to your doctor before making a decision like that.

1. Karela Melon

This little tropical melon is one of the best home remedies for diabetes there is. It gets a lot of attention, and if you can buy it at your local stores, I’d recommend picking it up. For three months continuously, prepare a dish of the bitter melon in ghee. Have this dish once a day. This will definitely help in bringing the blood sugar to a manageable level.

2. Apple Cider Vinegar

This is a cure I was originally informed of by my grandmother, who has diabetes. The best thing about this remedy is it can be tailored like crazy. You can take 4 times a day, or just 1. You can even change the recipe to suit you. The generic recipe is 8 - 10 oz of water or tea with 2 tablespoons(about 2 oz) of Apple Cider Vinegar. Take it twice daily with a meal or alone. It of course will be a bit bitter, and if sweetening is necessary, use Stevia or natural fruit juices. NEVER use aspartme!

–Side note: A member of my mailing list also clued me in to another sweetener: cinnamon. This is a double-whammy, because it helps the taste and cinnamon is yet another excellent diabetes remedy. Thanks Randy!

3. Grapefruit juice.

This is widely used, however I advise caution. It can and does help many, but it can also react with some medications. If you are treating your diabetes completely naturally, then eating or drinking grapefruit regularly is a must. If you are on any medication, please speak with your doctor before using grapefruit as a remedy.

4. Ginseng

Ginseng is most definitely a wonder. It is recommended to improve mental clarity, anti-aging, menopause, diabetes, and much more. This is something I would tell everyone to take -not just those with diabetes or another condition. It is simply one of nature’s power foods. 150mg daily dosage is enough to lower glucose levels and keep them low.

5. Black Raisins

Slightly bitter, these fruits can help immensely when used regularly. The best way to use them as a remedy for diabetes is to soak a handful of them in water overnight. In the morning, strain the water out into a glass. Drink the water that is obtained. This is a wonderful remedy for controlling the glucose levels. Do this as often as you like, but at least three times a week.

One of the greatest things about these 5 remedies for diabetes is they don’t take up your day. You don’t need to stand around preparing a juice concoction or specific meal. You can integrate them into your daily routine with hardly any effort.
