Flavonoids Role in Diabetes Management: How DiabeSutra™ Supports a Healthier Life

Diabetes is not an old age disease anymore. It is taking a toll on the young professionals, homemakers, and even teenagers as a result of stress, dietary habits, and sedentary lifestyles. The International Diabetes Federation (IDF) estimates that instead of 100 million people with diabetes as it is commonly thought, there are in India over 100 million individuals with diabetes alone and millions in the pre-diabetes stage where the sugar level is high but not yet so high to be diagnosed as diabetes.

The good news? The death sentence does not exist in diabetes. The right lifestyle and selected nature-supported solutions such as DiabeSutra™ Nutra Essentials Herbal Granules will allow you to control your sugar level, prevent complications, and live a whole and healthy life.

Flavonoids, or bioactive molecules of plants, are some of the most promising natural compounds that can prevent and manage diabetes due to its strong metabolic health-related applications that science is validating.

What Are Flavonoids and Why Do They Matter in Diabetes?

Flavonoids are polyphenols which occur in fruits, vegetables, herbs and teas. They are known to contain the bright colors of plants and are famous because of their anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory effects.

In the case of diabetes, flavonoids have been examined to have the effect of:

• Enhance insulin sensitivity - the increased sensitivity of the body to insulin.

• Balancing glucose metabolism - through the act of AMPK (adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase).

• Shield pancreatic β-cells - the identical cells that secrete insulin that tends to be destroyed in diabetes.

• Minimize oxidative stress - reducing the chronic inflammation which ushers diabetic complications.

• Promote healthy lipid metabolism - this is useful in preventing cardiovascular problems that are usually associated with diabetes.

Scientific Evidence:

• A review on Nutrients (2019) highlighted that flavonoids (quercetin, kaempferol, catechins) play a crucial role in facilitating glucose uptake and lowering insulin resistance.

• Another article in The Journal of Nutritional Biochemistry (2020) also states that flavonoids control gut microbiota, which is also responsible for the control of glucose. 

It is clear that nature has gifted us with a powerful tool in flavonoid to manage sugar in blood before it gets out of hand into full-blown diabetes.

Why It’s Better to Act at the Pre-Diabetic Stage

The majority of the population disregards pre-diabetes as the symptoms are not very noticeable, and they appear occasionally, such as feelings of tiredness, thirst, or even slight weight gain. However, this is the period when something can be done the most.

By the time you need to inject insulin or take a lot of medicine, it is usually too late and the pancreas has been damaged. Rather, it is possible to delay or even prevent progression by addressing the problem early with diet, yoga, meditation, and the support of natural flavonoids, such as DiabeSutra™.

Consider it as keeping a small fire check before it turns into a bush fire. Acting early helps you:

• Be energetic and lively.

• Less chance of complications such as kidney damage, neuropathy or heart disease.

• Live your life without the limitations that developed diabetes requires.

DiabeSutra™: Harnessing Flavonoid-Rich Herbs for Blood Sugar Balance

In PhytoEarth™, we have come up with DiabeSutra™ Nutra Essentials Herbal Granules that have been created with the knowledge of Ayurveda and the support of modern science. It is an exclusive combination of a flavonoid powerhouse, which combines the herbs that are traditionally known to support the glucose metabolism and are scientifically known to enhance the insulin sensitivity.

Here are five major flavonoid-rich herbs in DiabeSutra™ and their benefits:

1. Gurmar (Gymnema sylvestre) – The Sugar Destroyer

• Gurmar contains many gymnemic acids (a form of flavonoid) and it aids in the inhibition of sugar absorption in the small intestine.

• It also improves pancreatic β-cells regeneration and secretion of insulin.

• Its hypoglycemic effect was confirmed in studies in the field of Phytomedicine (2019).

2. Vijaysar (Pterocarpus marsupium) – Pancreatic Protector

• Has pterostilbene and flavonoids which restore β-cells.

• Vijaysar has been shown to effectively reduce the level of fasting blood glucose in clinical trials in India.

• Ayurveda Traditionally called “Miracle Cure of Madhumeha (Diabetes)”.

3. Green Tea (Camellia sinensis) – Rich in Catechins

• Catechins, in particular, EGCG (epigallocatechin gallate) enhance the insulin sensitivity.

• An assessment of meta-analyses in Nutrients (2020) indicated that green tea intake lowers HbA1c and fasting glucose levels.

• Also helps in weight control- very important in controlling diabetes.

4. Jamun (Syzygium cumini) – Antioxidant Powerhouse

• Anthocyanins and flavonoids occur in high amounts in seeds and pulp.

• Jamun controls blood sugar levels by increasing glycogen levels and decreasing the level of glucose.

• One of the Ayurvedic writings and contemporary clinical studies on diabetes.

5. Fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum) – Fiber + Flavonoid Synergy

• It has flavonoids such as vitexin and trigonelline that enhance glucose tolerance.

• Sugar absorption is slowed down by high content of soluble fiber.

• The article published in Phytotherapy Research (2018) proved that fenugreek decreases post-meal and fasting glucose spikes.

A combination of these herbs has a synergistic effect in bringing normal blood sugar levels, enhancing the effects of insulin, and lowering oxidative stress levels that increase diabetic complications.

Beyond Herbs: Discipline is the Real Medicine

Although DiabeSutra™ offers the support of nutrition and flavonoid that your body requires, managing diabetes is a lifestyle.

• Yoga & Meditation: a decrease in insulin resistance is caused by stress hormones.

• Balanced Diet: Focus on whole grains, vegetables, pulses, nuts, and do not overly consume processed sugar.

• Regular Physical Activity: The insulin sensitivity can be improved by even 30 minutes of everyday walking.

• Routine Checkups: Monitor fasting sugar, HbA1c, and lipid profile.

Keep in mind: Life is not about living rich, living in a comfort zone, and living a sedentary lifestyle. It is a matter of equilibrium, consciousness and decisions that maintain your energy.

Diabetes is a Warning, Not a Life Sentence

Pre-diabetes or diabetes diagnosis should not be perceived as punishment- it is an alert. Your body is trying to tell you to take a break, recharge and take care of yourself.

You can with the correct mind-set: nutritional wisdom provided by DiabeSutra™, conscious eating, exercise and tranquility.

• Delay disease progression.

• Living life to the fullest without fear, without guilt.

Diabetes does not imply sacrificing celebrations, family meals and your favorite festivals. It merely involves coming to handle them prudently. And when you have nature and the flavonoids then you have a great ally.
