Herbs alongside, not instead of, treatment

Diabetes needs medical care. Herbs like gudmar, jamun seed, karela and methi have long been used in Ayurveda as part of diet and lifestyle, but they are not a replacement for your medicines. Never stop or change diabetes medication without your doctor, and monitor your blood sugar, because herbs combined with medicines can lower it further.
