Talk to your doctor about these botanicals, and if needed, show him or her the articles referenced on this website or any site that sources from scholarly journals. It is crucial that your physician knows what supplements you take, because many botanicals can cause dangerously low blood sugar, i.e. hypoglycemia, when combined with pharmaceuticals.

What about weight loss?

Some herbs and spices are believed to assist in weight loss. Crucially, one school of thought believes that losing weight can prevent or reverse some cases of diabetes. In particular, researchers at Newcastle University in the UK have shown that weight loss alone was able to normalize blood sugar in some people. Not easy, but not impossible, and these botanicals may help you shed pounds.

Do botanicals dampen blood sugar spikes?

New research has focused on post-prandial sugar spikes, which can be defined as a big rise in glucose one to two hours after a meal. Post-prandial sugar spikes have two nasty features. First, they cause much of the damage linked to diabetes. Second, they provide the most accurate measurement of risk of progression to full-blown diabetes. This study found that compared with A1c and fasting blood glucose levels, glucose readings one hour after a high carbohydrate meal were the best predictor of who would go on to develop diabetes.
