Without insulin present, glucose is unable to be passed into blood cells of the body where it is used for energy and growth, and is instead passed out of the body through urine.

The three types of diabetes are:

* Type I diabetes is most common in children and your adults and occurs when there is very little or no insulin produced by the body.

* Type II diabetes is the result of the body to effectively process the insulin that is produced by the body.

* Gestational diabetes is a temporary diabetes that occurs during pregnancy.

Natural Cures for Diabetes

The most widely used natural treatments for diabetes are chromium and Gymnema sylvestre. Chromium works to improve the “good” cholesterol in the body, lower the body weight, and increase the lead body mass. Gymnema sylvestre aids in lowering the blood sugar.

Vitamins, Minerals and Nutrients

Vitamins and minerals are often used on a regular basis to assist the body in providing the necessary glucose into blood cells. Magnesium, Vitamin B6, Manganese, Vitamin C, Vitamin E, Zinc, Omega-3, Vitamin B12, Coenzyme Q10, digestive enzymes, and chelation therapy are all recommended to aid the body in controlling and preventing diabetes.
