Various types of tea have been recommended for use to prevent, treat and combat diabetes. In addition to conventional medicine, there has been growing acceptance from the populace of the natural and traditional methods of treating diabetes.
Diabetes is an ailment in which the body does not produce or properly use insulin, the hormone that converts sugar and other food into energy. The most common type of diabetes seen today is Type II diabetes, where insulin is produced (though sometimes not in a high enough quantity), but is not used properly. This situation results in a higher than normal level of blood glucose in the body. Type I diabetes is diagnosed in childhood, and results from an inability to produce insulin. |
