Exciting New Natural Help for Diabetics

This little talked about herb is building an impressive resume for diabetes.


Several studies have now shown the fruit, leaf and twigs of mulberry to help people with diabetes. Now, yet another study has added to the accumulating evidence.


Improving glycemic control is a key to managing diabetes. Slowing the digestion of carbohydrates helps manage glycemic control. Mulberry contains components that slow the final step in the digestion of carbohydrates and reduce the rate of glucose uptake.


This new study used mulberry fruit extract. 24 unmedicated type 2 diabetics were given either nothing or .75g of mulberry fruit extract added to carbohydrates.


Compared to the control group, the mulberry group reduced blood sugar 2 hours after eating by 22.4%. It reduced insulin after eating by 17.5%.


This small study adds to the evidence that supplementing mulberry safely helps manage glucose and can help diabetics.
