Diabetes: The ‘most effective’ food to lower blood sugar levels within 30 ‘minutes’
“Previous studies have demonstrated that lowered blood sugar levels can be observed as as little as 30 minutes, with the greatest reductions occurring after four hours.”
The findings are consistent with research published in the Journal of Plant Foods for Human Nutrition, which found that an extract derived from cucumber peel reversed most diabetes-associated changes in mice.
But separate research published in the Iranian Journal of Basic Medical Science only observed reductions in blood sugar levels after nine days of therapy.
The researchers of the study wrote: “Our findings indicated that [cucumber] seeds extracts were not effective on reducing blood glucose levels in normal and diabetic rats for the initial phase of treatment.
