There is a profusion of material on the Internet on fruits, vegetables and other items that are believed to be good for diabetics. The material on some websites even assert that these items can reduce the blood sugar level.
Diabetologists, however, strike a note of caution, asking people not to end the conventional treatment with drugs or insulin even if the natural food items help in maintaining normal blood sugar level.
Aamla (gooseberry), jamun (blueberry) and fenugreek rank high among the items aggressively promoted. ?But, these do not offer a cure from diabetes,? points out diabetologist V. Rajendran.
