I am not sure what type of

I am not sure what type of Diabetes you have. For Type-1 Diabetes your pancreas is basically not fully working. I would take some herbs to help the pancreas such as Papaya. For Type-2, the body has been over dosed with sugar so much it has developed an immunity towards sugar. For this I would take an herb that regulates sugar such as Fenugreek or cinnamon. You need to be very careful taking herbs because the medication was regulated when you were not on the herb. If you are taking medication to lower your sugar AND an herb to lower your sugar, you will be at risk for low sugar or Hypoglycemia. This is very dangerous so you must speak with your doctor before adding any herbs.
