Special food for diabetics
 1.Bitter gourd (karela):
 This vegetable contains a high dosage of 'plant insulin'. It lowers the blood-sugar levels effectively.Have the juice of three to four karelas early morning on an empty stomach. Powder the seeds of karela (measuring 1 teaspoon), mix with water and drink it.
2. Fenugreek (methi)
Gulp a teaspoonful of these seeds with a glass of water daily. Soak the seeds overnight. Have the water in which the seeds were soaked.You can make a chutney with methi seeds. You can also eat them sprouted, dried and powdered, or mix them in wheat flour to make chapattis.
3 :Indian blackberry (jamun):
 This fruit is very effective in preventing and controlling diabetes. Powder the stone of thefruit and eat it -- it contains glucoside, which prevents the conversion of starch into sugars.
4. Garlic :
 This is used to lower blood-sugar levels. Garlic is rich in potassium and replaces the potassium which gets lost in urine. Take about three to four flakes of freshly crushed garlic daily.
5. Onion :
 Because of its diuretic and digestive properties, onion works against diabetes. Raw onion is more useful.
6. Flaxseed:
This is the richest source of Omega 3 fatty acids. It helps control diabetes because it maintains the sensitivity of the cell membrane, facilitates insulin, and thereby the uptake of glucose by the cells.
7. Fibre :
 Soluble fibre, found in apples, kidney beans, oatmeal, soyabean, etc, help control diabetes. These aid slow digestion and absorption of nutrients, resulting in a slow and steady release of glucose. They soak up excess bile acids found in the intestinal tract, the same acids that are converted to blood cholesterol. They also help empty the stomach and trigger satiety that can help Type 2 diabetics to achieve weight loss goals.
8. Cinnamon solution:
Water extracts of cinnamon have been found to promote glucose metabolism and reduce cholesterol. You can boil cinnamon sticks in water and drink this water.
