Antidiabetic

Antidiabetic agents work by improving insulin sensitivity, stimulating insulin production, or slowing carbohydrate absorption to maintain balanced blood sugar levels. Herbs with antidiabetic properties often contain compounds that support pancreatic function and reduce oxidative stress. Fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum) is valued for its ability to lower blood sugar by slowing glucose absorption in the digestive tract. Bitter melon (Momordica charantia) contains bioactive compounds that enhance insulin activity and reduce blood sugar spikes. Cinnamon (Cinnamomum spp.) is traditionally used to improve insulin sensitivity and glycemic control. These herbs are often incorporated into holistic strategies to support individuals managing diabetes or prediabetes naturally.
