Did You Know?

The brain gets most of its energy from blood sugar, so if glucose stays in the bloodstream rather than being metabolized into body tissues, the brain has less fuel available to store memories.

Sugar Blocker

More than 2, 600 years ago, Charaka a famous Ayurvedic physician, wrote about a strange plant. Writing in ancient Sanskrit, he noted that this herb could block the absorption of sugar. Over the centuries, it became known in Hindi as “gurmar” which roughly translates to “sugar destroyer.”

Today, we call this herb Gymnema Sylvester. Find more about this herb with Google Search Box.

Drugs and side effects

Diabetic drugs keep blood sugar down. However, you will have to be on them for life. Worse still, there are side effects. Indeed, in August 2000, the United States Food and Drug Administration asked the manufacturer of the drug Rezulin (troglitazone)-a drug used to treat type 2 diabetes mellitus-to remove the product from the market. Severe liver toxicity as a result of drug usage had resulted in deaths.

However there are natural approaches that work remarkably well for those with mild and moderate diabetes.
