Pumpkin helps reduce insulin does (diabetes)

Researchers led by Tao Xia of the East China Normal University, found that diabetics rats fed by extract had only 5% less plasma insulin and 8% fewer insulin-positive cells compared to normal healthy rats.

Xia says that pumpkin extract is potential treatment for pre-diabetics as well as diabetics that could help drastically reduce the amount of insulin they need to take. Pumpkin extract is potentially a very good products for pre-diabetics person, as well as those who have already developed diabetes.

The productive effect of pumpkin is thought to be due to both antioxidant adn D-chiro-inositol, a molecule that mediates insulin activity.

 Boosting insulin levels has the effect of lowering blood sugar levels, which reduces levels of oxidative oxygen species that damages beta-cells membranes, preventing further damage and allowing for some regeneration. Beta cells levels in diabetic rats are , unlikely ever to reach that of controls, because some of the cells will have been damaged beyond repair.

People with type 2 diabetes are more prone to heart disease eight years earlier than people with other risk factor. Lose excess weight exercise regularly and increase dietary fiber to lower blood insulin levels and increase the body sensitivity to insulin. A study shows that a diet only treatment needs very close monitoring to prevent complications. It found that people with diabetes being managed with diet had more problems, such as poor sugar control and high blood pressure. About 80 percent of people with diabetes develop cardiovascular disorder, this disorder raises the chance of heart problem roughly twice as munch for women as for men. 
Anyway, Indian's are at a higher risk of diabetes compared to west. Fewer people in India seek treatment for diabetes. They are generally predisposed to the metabolic syndrome, the cluster of disorder including abdominal obesity, hypertension and high bad cholesterol.

Stabilizing Blood sugar levels

Some natural food items may assist people affected by Type 2 diabetes to control blood sugar levels
1) Bitter Melon: Juice decrease blood sugar production, increase glucose uptake.
2) Cinnamon : Triples insulin's efficiency.
3) Garlic: Lowers glucose levels, increase free insulin.
4) Aloe vera: Jelly inside the leaves or aloe vera are effective.
5) Fenugreek: Seed not only lower blood glucose  but reduces insulin levels total cholesterol and increase HDL.
