High blood sugar level treatment

Momordica charantia: or bitter melon, contains bitter principles, including charantina, which have a hypoglycemic effect. The studies showed a particular effectiveness in decreasing serum blood sugar and an improvement in glucose tolerance.
White mulberry: contains sugar mimetic substances, such as deoxinojirimycin, able to inhibit alpha-glucosidase and other enzymes of glucose metabolism such as maltase, Sucrasi and trealase, which decrease glucose absorption. It also reduces the increase in post-prandial glycemic values, with a decrease in appetite and a stabilization of body weight.

Cinnamon: spice used for centuries, both as a flavoring in the kitchen and for its therapeutic properties. Among its many properties, its main function, confirmed by numerous studies, is to lower blood sugar; it has an effect similar to that of insulin, with action on hyperglycemia and type II diabetes. It also affects postprandial blood sugar. It is also useful to improve fat metabolism, and has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effect.

Banaba: or Lagerstroemia, is a plant native to Asia. The main responsible for the therapeutic effect is corosolic acid that stimulates the transport of glucose within the cells. Clinical studies on patients with type II diabetes have confirmed the hypoglycemic effect of the plant that would persist up to a month after the suspension of treatment.
