As we know diabetes is a disease that lasts a long time and is characterized by blood sugar levels above normal. The level of sugar in the blood is controlled by the hormone insulin which is produced by the pancreas, an organ located behind the stomach. When the body cannot produce insulin (a blood sugar regulating hormone) or insulin produced is inadequate or insulin doesn't work properly, then the body's cells cannot absorb and process glucose into energy.

High glucose levels in the blood can cause pre-diabetes or diabetes. The second is a chronic disease that can be prevented if you control your weight, and take action to lower your blood sugar.

The simplest way to reduce blood sugar is to consume a minimum of 8 to 9 glasses of water every day. In addition, there are a number of natural drinks that help stabilize blood sugar levels and prevent this chronic disease from developing.

In order for blood sugar levels to remain normal, you should note the following things:

• Avoid artificial sweeteners, because that will actually eliminate the main purpose.
• If you still want sugary drinks, try special sugars for diabetics.
• Pay attention to the amount you consume, because if you are not careful and eat too much, it can end with the opposite effect.
• It is recommended to drink the following natural ingredients on an empty stomach, because sugar levels are lower before breakfast than all day, so the effect is stronger.
