Natural Diabetes Cures
First of all, I would like to make a disclaimer. There is no known cure for diabetes and I am not suggesting that there is one.
However, with that said, there is a ton of research and documentation on various nutrients, supplements and even diet changes that can benefit and help if you have diabetes.
Although there may not be a "cure" there are things that you can do to improve the condition, depending on the type of diabetes that you have and how severe it is.
Obviously there are certain food to avoid altogether if you really want to do your body good. These include refined sugar products such as candy, ice cream, cakes, cookies, pies, pastries, soda, jam and the like.
Even natural sweeteners like honey, maple syrup and molasses should be used sparingly.
Drink plenty of water if you can and try and consume 8 glasses of pure water daily. An alkaline diet is best including lots of fresh vegetables, especially raw vegetables and salads. You can eat as much of theses healthy foods as you like as cooked foods tend to cause more of a rise of glucose in the body than do raw fruits and vegetables.
Eat plenty of fruits such as grapefruit, bananas, granny smith apples, figs, cranberry, blackberry, pomegranate, kiwi and citrus fruits.
Eating a high fiber diet is ideal since it lowers the body's need for insulin. Make sure you are including foods such as barley, oatmeal, almond meal, dried beans, kidney beans, cooked black beans, peas, cereals and chickpeas in your daily diet.
It is extremely important to monitor your glucose level if you are a diabetic or have pre-diabetes symptoms. Here is a guide that will help you measure the proper levels:
Upon waking up (and before breakfast), your levels should be between 80 and 120. This is considered to be a healthy range.
Before meals your levels should also be between 80 and 120.
Two hours after you eat meals, your levels should be 170 or less.
Before lunch, it should drop back down to 80-120.
Before you go to bed, it is ideal to be between 100 and 140.
At 3am (while sleeping), it is ideal to be between 70 and 110.
While fasting, it is ideal that you stay in the 70 to 100 range.

There are so many on the market. Accu check makes some really good user friendly ones. They will provide the meter at no cost and then you purchase the strips and lancets. They have a new lancet device that is a cartridge that holds 6 lancets so you don’t have to reload it each time and the needle is so tiny and you can barely feel the stick. I’ve seen and used a lot of meters but I am really impressed with theirs right now. You can probably check out their web site. Your physician will have to write a prescription for this and your strips in order for your insurance to pay. If you don’t have insurance, accu check makes a basic model that is cheaper.
here is a site that has most of the glucometers listed:

and tells a little about most of them
There are so many types of Blood Glucose Monitoring Meters which are used to monitor the Glucose in the market and latest can be purchased as the new ones are cheap and having easy to operate and gives good results.
there are heaps, I have a lot because I get them free from the hospital, my newest is the papillon mini which has very good features. But my first bg meter is the one I still use to today which is Optium, this is really good coz it is simple and also has ketone strips whereas alot of others don’t.
