Hello,

Indeed, managing diabetes is a complex of various approaches:

- Medicines
- Lifestyle and diet changes
- Herbal use

Patients are keener to use medicines instead of changing lifestyle and diet habits explaining why meds have been added to the current therapy of your husband.

If he keeps making healthy changes of his diabetic diet plan together with walking at least 30 minutes after large meals, then he can succeed in controlling blood sugar levels.

With regards to herbs, there are various herbs used to treat diabetes. Can use as fresh when preparing your dishes; as tea or as supplement. They include:

- Cinnamon
- Gymnema Sylvestre
- Fenugreek
- Bitter gourd and many others

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Albana Sejdini
