Gymnena sylvestre has been used for centuries in India to treat diabetes. It is also useful in weight loss regimens. In studies, extracts of the plant have decreased fasting blood sugar levels, normalized blood lipids (cholesterol and triglycerides,) lowered insulin requirements and enhanced insulin production. Studies also show that craving for and consumption of sweets diminishes for hours after a dose. Gymnena sylvestre is nontoxic, however, diabetics should work with their health practitioner to integrate the herb into their regimen to avoid insulin overdose.
