5 herbs to tackle type 2 diabetes

1. Gymnema sylvestre (leaf)

When its leaves are chewed, this age-old herb from tropical India destroys your taste for sugar; it is often promoted as an appetite suppressant for weight-loss. Importantly, several small placebo-controlled trials show that gymnema helps lower blood sugar by enhancing insulin activity.

Animal studies indicate that gymnema can double the number of insulin-producing cells in the pancreas and normalize blood sugar levels. Research findings also indicate that gymnema can improve blood sugar control so that people with diabetes require smaller doses of oral diabetes drugs. Plus, several human trials clearly show a quite significant improvement in blood sugar levels with gymnema.
