 糖尿病自然護理 Diabetes and Natural Treatments 
 
據統計,百分之九十的糖尿病患者均為二型(或稱非胰島素依賴型糖尿病)。定期運動和保持健康體重是預防這類糖尿病的關鍵因素。

根據一項新的全美國健康營養調查數據所分析,糖尿病患者使用營養補充劑後,約百分之三十四人士病情得而改善。研究主要收集了以下有用資訊:
*硫辛酸(Alpha Lipoic Acid)有助預防一型糖尿病,改善二型患者的健康,並減少對腎臟損害及其他一些糖尿病症狀。
*鎂(Magnesium)有益於血糖代謝和防止一些糖尿病並發症。
*動物實驗發現,奧米加-3(Omega-3)脂肪酸有助預防藥物誘致的糖尿病。

其他一些建議糖尿病人服用的補充藥劑包括鈣(Calcium),鉻(Chromium),和葉酸(Folic Acid)。

有效的印度草藥

二型糖尿病的成因可能與新陳代謝紊亂有關, 主要涉及血糖過高及其引起的並發症,一些印度草藥在這範疇非常有用。舉例來說,胡蘆巴(Fenugreek)提供了大量膳食纖維,能有效延緩飯後葡萄糖吸收。苦瓜中的一種複合物有效增加胰島素的活性,對控制血糖也有幫助。

武靴葉(Gymnema)又名“糖分驅逐艦“,可暫時性抑制個人嗜糖的習慣,減少攝取糖分。在印度,使用武靴葉治療二型糖尿病超過了兩千年,這種藥草似乎能抑制糖分在腸道的吸收,並能幫助恢復胰臟功能(胰臟腺體主要負責釋放胰島素)。

肉桂(Cinnamon)被發現對二型糖尿病和高膽固醇人士有降低血糖、甘油三酯和膽固醇水平等作用。研究人員發現,每日只需攝取1克,對二型糖尿病患者降低血糖和血脂水平已非常有幫助。

Up to 90 percent of diabetes is Type 2, or non-insulin-dependent, diabetes. Maintaining a healthy weight is a critical factor in preventing Type 2 diabetes, as is regular exercise.

Diabetics who use nutritional supplements—about 34 percent—report better health than those who don’t, shows a new study analyzing data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. Research has produced promising evidence for the following:

    * alpha lipoic acid helps prevent Type 1 diabetes, supports the health of people with Type 2, and fights kidney damage and diabetic symptoms.
    * magnesium is useful in sugar metabolism and for preventing some diabetic complications.
    * omega-3 fats prevent drug-induced diabetes in animal experiments.

Other supplements often recommended to people with diabetes include calcium, chromium, and folate.

Useful Ayurvedic Herbs

A metabolic disorder involving high blood sugar (or glucose), Type 2 diabetes also responds to Ayurvedic herbs. For example, fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum) provides fiber and delays glucose absorption after meals. A compound in bitter melon (Momordica charantia) increases the activity of insulin, the hormone that regulates blood sugar.

Gymnema (G. sylvestre), aka the “sugar destroyer,” can temporarily suppress a person’s ability to taste sweets. Used in India for the past two millennia to treat Type 2 diabetes, this herb appears to inhibit sugar absorption in the intestines and may even help regenerate the pancreas, the gland that releases insulin.

Cinnamon (Cinnamomum spp.) was found to be able to lower glucose, triglyceride, and cholesterol levels in people with Type 2 diabetes and high cholesterol. Researchers find that as little as 1 gram a day lowers glucose and fat levels among people with Type 2 diabetes.
