Prescribed foods for diabetic patients

French Beans (Kidney Beans)

  • One of the most commonly used vegetables worldwide, rich in carbohydrates and fiber.

  • Recommended liberally for managing diabetes due to their fiber content.

  • Decoction Remedy: Boil 60 grams of fresh kidney bean pods (seeds removed) in 4 liters of water on low heat for 4 hours. Strain, let stand 8 hours, and drink one glass every 2 hours during the day. Continue for 4–8 weeks alongside a prescribed diet. Make fresh daily, as the decoction loses medicinal value after 24 hours.

  • Juice Remedy: Juice from French beans stimulates insulin production and is often combined with Brussels sprouts juice. Requires a controlled diet.

  • High fiber content also helps reduce blood sugar and cholesterol, lowering heart disease risk in diabetics (supported by Dr. James Anderson’s research).

Lettuce

  • Contains less than 3% carbohydrates.

  • Can be eaten freely by diabetics.

Onion

  • Used traditionally and scientifically proven to lower blood sugar levels.

  • Effective whether eaten raw or cooked.

  • Contains hypoglycemic substances like allyl, propyl disulfide, and allicin, which stimulate insulin production and glucose metabolism.

  • Anti-diabetic compounds isolated from onions have similarities to pharmaceutical drugs that promote insulin release.

Soybean

  • Highly nutritious and valuable in diabetes treatment.

  • Soybean bread contains little starch but is rich in high-quality fat and protein.

  • Since 1910, soy has been recognized for reducing urinary sugar levels in diabetics.

  • Benefits come from its protein content and possible effects on lowering sugar excretion, even with typical dietary restrictions.
