The best way to treat high blood sugar is to take doctor prescribed doses of insulin and/or medication daily. Diet and exercise should also be incorporated to help maintain healthy blood sugar levels. Garlic, bitter melon, cinnamon, alfalfa, and burdock have also been documented to help with high blood sugar.
Can low blood sugars lead to diabetes?
High insulin levels occur in an attempt to counter high levels of sugar. Type II diabetes is caused by insulin receptors on cells not having much of a response to insulin. Hence, more insulin is released in an attempt to lower the blood sugar levels. This is why high insulin levels are a symptom of Type II diabetes, not a cause.
