2. Bitter melon

  • Main use: Lowering blood sugar
  • Typical dosage: 50 to 100 milliliters (approximately 3 to 6 tablespoons) of the juice daily

Bitter melon is thought to help cells use glucose more effectively and block sugar absorption in the intestine. A study in the Journal of Ethnopharmacology compared bitter melon to a popular diabetes drug and found that it did minimize fructosamine in people with type 2 diabetes.

However, a low-dose of the already approved medication did so more effectively. In a study on mice published in Evidence-based Complementary and Alternative Medicine, researchers suggest that bitter melon may reduce high blood glucose in type 1 diabetes. Unfortunately, gastrointestinal issues are some possible side effects.
