Natural Citrus Supplement May Lower Blood Glucose Levels

A new study suggests that a dietary supplement made from citrus may help people with type 2 diabetes lower their blood glucose numbers after a meal alongside LDL-cholesterol levels.

In a double-blind, placebo-controlled pilot study, 20 adults with diabetes who were taking oral diabetes medications were randomly assigned to receive either Diabetinol or a placebo twice per day for 3 months. Each subject had mildly to moderately elevated cholesterol levels at the start of the study.

After 84 days, the group receiving Diabetinol showed a 19% reduction in glucose intolerance measured as peak changes in blood glucose over the 4 hours of a standard oral glucose challenge. The placebo group showed no significant improvements in glucose intolerance. (A standard glucose challenge involves ingesting 100 grams of glucose and having blood glucose measurements after 30 minutes and hourly for 4 hours.)
