7 African herbs that help in managing diabetes

Fluted pumpkin

It is a delicacy in Southern Nigeria, Ghana and Sierra Leone and is reported to work magic on blood glucose level. Researchers, Drs. Aderibigbe A.O., Lawal B.A. and Oluwagbemi J.O., studied the effect of the leaves of fluted pumpkin on blood glucose in mice and found that the plant did not only reduce the glucose level but also had similar effects with that of diabetes drugs such as chlorpropamide.
