4 Natural remedies to cure diabetes at home
Figures coming from American Diabetes Association state that almost 21 million Americans currently suffer from diabetes and that 90%-95% of these cases are Type 2 diabetes. It is caused when there is too much buildup of glucose in the blood. Sugar (in glucose form) is the main fuel source for cells. With the help of insulin, the glucose enters the cells to provide energy. When the glucose does not get into the cells, the cells will become deprived of energy. If the buildup of glucose in blood persists, it could damage the heart, eyes, nerves or kidneys.
