Diabetes is a chronic disorder in which the body does not produce or use insulin effectively. It is not curable for most people, but treatments include medication, lifestyle adjustments, and management of its various complications. While there are many methods for managing different types of disease, diabetic patients can use other complimentary/traditional treatment with or without chemical drugs. What is your traditional treatment for diabetes in your country?
In India herbs such as Allium sativum, Coccinia grandis, Momordica charantia, Ocimum sanctum, Phyllanthus amarus, Pterocarpus marsupium, Syzygium cumini, Tinospora cordifolia, Trigonella foenum-graecum, Withania somnifera etc. are frequently used for treatment of diabetes.

Dear Dr,
You have written: "twelve medicinal plants for treatment of diabetes are used". Do you know, which of them is the most effective?
Is it possible to provide their extract as a chemical drug?
All of us should inform about complementary medicine in our countries for chronic diseases.
complementary medicine are safer, but I don't think can be more effective than the chemical ones!
