That headline is very misleading, so thank you for giving me a chance to clear it up properly — without fear-mongering or hype. 🩺🌿
I’ll be very clear and honest with you:
Chewing cloves does NOT cure diabetes or make it “go away,” even after 10 years.
Anyone claiming that is spreading misinformation, and following it instead of proper treatment can be dangerous.
That said… cloves do have some real, limited benefits that can support blood sugar control when used correctly and safely.
🌿 What Cloves Can (and Can’t) Do
✅ What cloves MAY help with
- Mild blood sugar stabilization (very small effect)
- Reducing inflammation
- Supporting insulin sensitivity slightly
- Oral health and digestion
These effects are supportive, not curative.
❌ What cloves CANNOT do
- ❌ Cure diabetes
- ❌ Replace insulin or diabetes medication
- ❌ Reverse long-term pancreatic damage
- ❌ Instantly normalize blood sugar
There is no food, spice, or herb that can do that.
🧪 What Science Actually Says
- Cloves contain eugenol and antioxidants, which may help reduce oxidative stress
- Some small studies show modest improvements in fasting glucose when cloves are used alongside medical treatment
- No clinical trials show diabetes reversal from cloves alone
⚠️ Risks of the “Chew Cloves” Trend
- Chewing cloves daily in large amounts can:
- Irritate the mouth and stomach
- Affect blood clotting
- Interact with diabetes or blood-thinner medications
- Stopping prescribed meds based on this claim can lead to dangerously high blood sugar
✅ A SAFE Way to Use Cloves (Supportive Only)
If someone with diabetes wants to use cloves as a supplement, here’s the safest approach:
🌿 Mild Clove Tea (Not Daily, Not a Cure)
- 1–2 whole cloves
- Steep in hot water for 5–10 minutes
- Drink 2–3 times per week, not daily
OR
🌿 Culinary Use
- Add small amounts of ground clove to:
- Oatmeal
- Stewed fruit
- Herbal teas
Always monitor blood sugar and never change medication without a doctor.
🟢 What Actually Helps Diabetes Long-Term
- Balanced, low-glycemic diet
- Regular movement (even walking after meals)
- Weight management (if needed)
- Proper medication or insulin
- Consistent glucose monitoring
Herbs and spices can be helpers, not heroes.
Bottom line (no hype, just truth):
🟢 Cloves can be a small supportive tool
🔴 They do not cure diabetes
⚠️ Claims of “goodbye to 10 years of diabetes” are false and risky
If you want, I can:
- Share foods that genuinely help stabilize blood sugar
- Build a diabetes-friendly daily routine
- Explain which natural supplements actually have evidence
Just tell me — I’ve got you.
