In addition to lifestyle changes and pharmacotherapy, the hypoglycemic properties of plants are increasingly being used. Treatment targets are to reduce blood sugar levels and prevent the development of chronic complications.

1. It's a white flute

These enzymes are responsible for the conversion of glucose-containing carbohydrates into glucose in the small intestine and affect overall glucose levels. This compound, which belongs to the polyhydroxyaloids, is found in the leaves of celery. In addition to DNJs, it also plays a significant role in the white gallbladder, routine, quercetin, and Moran 20K protein. These enzymes are the ones responsible for converting glucose from celery to celery glucose, and they have a significantly lower metabolic value. These hypoglycemic properties have been confirmed in numerous studies involving both animals and other patients with diabetes mellitus following the usual use of celeria (e.g. routinely observed at the same time) and in one of the following studies.

2. It's a Ceylonese whistleblower

Cinnamomum zeylanicum), which contains a number of bioactive compounds. It has been used to treat colds, to relieve muscle and joint pain, menstrual pain, and to improve digestive function (especially in the case of indigestion, nausea and appetite). Currently, most studies have focused on the use of cynam itself or its extracts (after cinnamon extract) in the treatment of abdominal disorders, as well as in the management of blood sugar receptors. Kim, S. Anderson; H. Graves, R. A. Anderson, who studied the effects of glucose inhibitors on blood glucose levels, have been used in several studies since then.
