Diabetes is a common health condition that causes high blood sugar.

A hormone known as insulin is responsible for moving sugar from your blood into cells for storage or to be used for energy.

Therefore, this condition is as a result of inability of your body to produce enough insulin or failure to use the amount produced effectively.

When left untreated, high blood sugar can damage other body organs such as kidney and eyes.

The best part is that you can take some measure at home that will help you control your blood sugar.

Diabetes Home Remedies

  1. Reduce added sugars

The intake of high amounts of sugar causes your body to stop responding to insulin properly forcing your pancrease to overwork.

This puts your pancrease in a risk of a breakdown which leads to increased blood sugar levels.

2. Add fiber in your diet

Fiber is a type of carbohydrate that the body can’t digest or break into sugar molecules.

Fiber is a good choice for diabetic people since it regulates the intake of sugar in your body.

3. Unsaturated fats

Fats play a major role in the human body. They help in the absorption of vitamins and minerals which leads to increased immunity.

Unsaturated fats are the best for diabetic patients since they provide the body with good cholesterol. Examples of unsaturated fats include daily cooking oil, seeds, oily fish and so on.

Saturated fats such as red and processed meat, biscuits and cakes provide bad cholesterol in your body.

4. Stay hydrated
