This is a very serious disease and not something to be taken lightly. The type of diet you should follow depends on what type of diabetes you have and how far advanced it is. You can take some natural supplements to help regulate your blood sugar, including chromium and alpha lipoic acid. These are key to helping you fight diabetes. Other things that help are drinking good water and eating whole grains as much as possible in place of white or processed foods. Avoid drinking sodas or high sugar foods. Make sure your diet is high in protein and simple foods. Avoid fatty foods like things that are deep fried. Adding cinnamon to your diet has been proven to help treat diabetes. By increasing your vitamin intake, including amino acids and fish oil (Omega-3’s), you are giving your body what it needs to control your blood sugar. You should always consult your doctor or natural health specialist before making ANY dietary changes. This will help prevent complications that can be fatal. These complications are caused by your blood sugar plummeting or spiking, which can cause fainting, coma, blindness, and even death. Working with a natural health specialist is a very good solution because they can monitor all of your blood levels to keep you on track to healing yourself.
