Healthy herbs in the kitchen work along with a healthy lifestyle to help prevent and manage diabetes. Baked goods are more diabetic friendly with spices like cinnamon and stevia which lessen the need for sugar. Botanicals can be used along with modern medicinal therapy with managing diabetes, however if you are currently taking insulin or hypoglycemic drugs monitor your blood sugar levels closely and always confer with your doctor about any new herbal treatment.

Licorice (Glycyrrhiza glabra), baical skullcap (Scutellaria baicalensis), and ginkgo (Ginkgo biloba) can be used to inhibit the activity of the enzyme aldose reductase, thereby reducing the production of polyols, a factor in some of the major chronic complications of diabetes.
