In 1550 BC, diabetes was treated with high fiber wheat grains. Not much has changed since then. Until now, more than 400 plants have been identified, used, and prescribed as diabetic remedies.
Raw onions and garlic have been favorite anti-diabetic drugs in Europe, Asia and the Middle East. The vegetable bitter gourd and the herb ginseng have been widely used for treating diabetes since the ancient time in India and China. Common mushroom is widely used in parts of Europe to lower blood sugar. Beans, cabbage, cinnamon, coriander seeds, cucumber, fenugreek seeds, Indian gooseberry and lettuce are used in different countries, in the treatment of diabetes.
All these foods have anti-diabetic properties. Scientific research has confirmed that most of these foods, or their compounds, either lower blood sugar, or stimulate insulin production.
