Diabetes
is a
disease
that
affects
the
body's
ability
to
produce
and
respond
to
insulin,
a
hormone
that
allows
blood
glucose
(blood
sugar)
to enter
the
cells of
the body
and be
used for
energy.
Diabetes
Mellitus
is a
condition
characterized
by an
excess
of
glucose
(sugar)
in the
blood.
This
happens
because
the body
is not
producing
enough
insulin,
the
hormone
it needs
to break

Many studies have been performed on various naturally occurring herbs and
other compounds, demonstrating their ability to lower blood sugars. While
many of these compounds decrease the blood glucose level by stimulating the
pancreas to produce more insulin, one particular herb, Goat's Rue or French

the blood glucose level utilizing a different mechanism.

In
people
with
diabetes
the
amount
of
glucose
(or
sugar)
in
the
blood
becomes
abnormally
high.
This
is
due,
either
to
failure
of
the
pancreas
to
produce
enough
of
the
hormone
insulin
or
to
the
lack
of
insulin
actions.

Diabetic
retinopathy
is a
complication
of
diabetes.
Diabetes
is a
chronic
disease
that can
damage
and
weaken
blood
vessels,
including
those in
the
retina

back of
your
eye, the
retina
records
images
of
objects
and
sends
information
about
the
images
to your
brain
for
interpretation.
In
diabetic
retinopathy,
the
weakened
blood
vessels
may
begin to
leak
blood or
fluid
vessels
and
develop
tiny,
fragile
branches
and
fragile
branches
and scar
tissue
that can
blur
your
vision
or
distort
the
information
that the

sends to
your
