    there arent any effective herbal treatments, but there are prescriptions that can help a little bit. best thing to do though is avoid it by maintaining a healthy weight and excercising regularly. type 2 diabetes often doesnt have symptoms early on (or they are subtle) so the only way you’d know for sure is a blood test. lots of times you can get them at health fairs for $10-15

    Signs and Symptoms of Diabetes:

    • Increased thirst
    • Going to the loo (for a wee) all the time – especially at night
    • Extreme tiredness
    • Weight loss
    • Blurred vision
    • Genital itching or regular episodes of thrush
    • Slow healing of wounds
    • Nausea
    • Dizzyness
    • Funny taste in your mouth, that is described as smelling like pear drops
    • Lack of concentration
    • A big change in appetite

    In Type 1 diabetes the signs and symptoms will usually be very obvious, developing quickly, usually over a few weeks.

    In people with Type 2 diabetes the signs and symptoms will not be so obvious or even non-existent in people with Type 2 diabetes. If you’re older you may put the symptoms down to ‘getting on a bit’. Taking early action is key so if any of the symptoms apply to you, ask your GP for a diabetes test.

    In both types of diabetes, the symptoms are quickly relieved once the diabetes is treated. Early treatment will also reduce the chances of developing serious health problems.

    Treatment for diabetes depends on the type of diabetes you have. With type 2, it can be controlled with tablets (such as Metformin) or diet alone. However, type 1 diabetes can only be treated with insulin injections.

    Keep yourself healthy, exercise regularly and make sure your heart is in good condition. If you have any concerns – go and see your GP. It is genetic and the more you ignore it, the worse it will be.

    Hope this helps, I’m not sure about a herbal to start your periods, but you should try finding a herbalist. My old tutor is a herbalist, shame I’m not still intouch with her.

    Take care
