Blood Sugar Balance Herbal Tea

This herbal tea is a blend of herbs that can help increase insulin sensitivity of cells and therefore increase uptake of glucose (blood sugar) from the blood and into cells.  This is the primary action and intention of this blend, and other herbs – such as Bilberry leaves can help prevent venous and eye issues that can result from hyperglycemic conditions by strengthening and toning the blood vessel walls.  The herbs Fenugreek, Cinnamon, and Devil’s club are the primary blood sugar regulators, helping to balance blood sugar levels in those with high blood sugar conditions, such as those with Diabetes mellitus, both insulin-dependent and non-insulin-dependent.  Fenugreek has the most research available, showing a hypoglycemic effect, as well as helping to reduce cholesterol levels.  Cinnamon is also a helpful herb for those wanting or needing to avoid high glucose spikes after meals.  This herbal tea is beneficial for those who suspect or know they are “pre-diabetic” and for those who have well-controlled diabetes, as well as those who know they could be headed that way if they don’t change course with dietary changes.

Bilberry extract was found to have blood sugar lowering properties, in a study published in the March 2010 issue of the "Journal of Nutrition." In the study on laboratory animals, bilberry extract significantly reduced blood sugar levels and increased insulin sensitivity by promoting transport of glucose from the blood into muscles and by suppressing glucose and lipid production in the liver. 

• Cinnamon stabilizes blood sugar by regulating glucose transportation and decreasing insulin levels, according to a study published in the November 2010 issue of the journal "Phytomedicine." In the study using laboratory animals, cinnamon extract influenced genes in fat cells that increase glucose movement out of the blood, and decreased expression of at least four genes that regulate insulin levels. Cinnamon also affected production of adipokines -- hormones produced by fat cells as a feedback system to control appetite, blood sugar and weight. The researchers concluded that cinnamon's health benefits may be due to its influence on the signals and hormones produced by fat cells to regulate blood sugar.
