The diabetic herbal scientific knowledge you must have
You will get to know the diabetic herbal scientific proof you need in your way of controlling blood sugar. Also you will have the references related to the researches carried out for each of herbs. It is also know with the scientific name of Capsicum frutescens and its main ingredient is capsaicin. Its flavor is responsible for the decrease of plasma glucose levels and maintenance of insulin levels. That's why it is included in the diabetic herbal list. Clinical implications in the management of type 2 diabetes was also recommended. These were the results of one study carried out in Thailand. Ref.: Pharmacokinetic and the effect of capsaicin in Capsicum frutescens on decreasing plasma glucose level.J Med Assoc Thai. 2009 Jan;92(1):108-13.

It was found that 2% dietary RC (red chilli) was insulinotropic rather than hypoglycemic. A need for further research has raised. Ref.: Dietary red chilli (Capsicum frutescens L.) is insulinotropic rather than hypoglycemic in type 2 diabetes model of rats. Phytother Res. 2008 Aug;22(8):1025-9.) What is more, if used as a balm or cream, clinical trials have shown it effective in reducing pain and other neuropathy sensations. Diabetic herbal knowledge -
Green tea
Rat models of human obesity and diabetes have once again supported the hypothesis that green tea may have beneficial effects against risk of both metabolic syndrome and cardiovascular disease. What is more black tea has the same results. Ref.: Modulatory effects of black v. green tea aqueous extract on hyperglycaemia, hyperlipidaemia and liver dysfunction in diabetic and obese rat models. Br J Nutr. 2009 Oct 13:1-9. The component which makes green tea so special is called catechin. Researchers in Kao Corporation, Tokyo has carried out one double-blind controlled study involving two groups of type 2 diabetics. The first one ingested green tea containing either 582.8 mg of catechins (catechin group; n = 23) or 96.3 mg of catechins (control group; n = 20) per day for 12 weeks. At week 12, a decreased waist circumference was shown significantly greater in the catechin group than in the control one. In patients treated with insulinotropic agents, insulin resulted to reaise significantly at week 12 in the catechin group compared to control group. Also in these patients was shown a decrease in hemoglobin (A1C) at week 12 greater than in control group. The final conclusion of this study was the importance of green tea as a catechin-rich beverage in preventing obesity, recovery insulin secretory ability and maintaining low A1C levels in type 2 diabetics who do not yet require insulin therapy.

Vanadium
Keep in mind that vanadium compounds have shown insulin-like properties in vivo and in vitro. There are various studies carried out in type 2 diabetics which show the ability of vanadium compounds to lower blood sugar. Researchers have come out with new chromium compounds with anti-diabetic effects. Ref.: Arylalkylamine vanadium salts as new anti-diabetic compounds.J Inorg Biochem. 2009 Apr;103(4):559-66. Epub 2009 Jan 27. What is more, intake of vanadium complexes (20 mg daily) for 28 days in volunteers subjects, has shown no adverse effects in one study carried out by Canadian researchers. While, in seven type 2 diabetes subjects, the daily oral intake of 20 mg of vanadium complexes for 28 consequent days, was associated with reduced fasting blood glucose and reduced HbA1C. Also improved responses to oral glucose tolerance testing was detected. Ref.: Vanadium treatment of type 2 diabetes: a view to the future. J Inorg Biochem. 2009 Apr;103(4):554-8. Epub 2008 Dec 24. Diabetic herbal knowledge - Vitamin C I am pretty sure that you know vitamin C, especially for its antioxidative effects. Vitamin C is very important to diabetics, whatever the type they might be. If you have diabetes, the major factor for cardiovascular complications is hyperglycemia-induced oxidative stress. In a study carried out in Instabul, researchers have studied the effectiveness of polyphenol-rich antioxidants supplement containing pomegranate extract, green tea extract and ascorbic acid, on oxidative stress in type 2 diabetic patients. At the end of their study, they have concluded that this polyphenol-rich antioxidant supplement (containing ascorbic acid) has important antagonizing effects on oxidative stress and lipid peroxidation in type 2 diabetics and might prevent cardiovascular complications. Ref.:The effects of polyphenol containing antioxidants on oxidative stress and lipid peroxidation in type 2 diabetes mellitus without complications. J Endocrinol Invest. 2009 Oct 15. As you may probably see from the above scientific data, most of herbs on diabetes are beneficial in lowering blood sugar and in controlling diabetes.
