Have Anti-Diabetes Effects

When compared to other fruits, blueberries have a moderate quantity of sugar. One cup (148 grams) of sugar contains 15 grams, which is similar to a small apple or a big orange. However, when it comes to blood sugar regulation, the beneficial chemicals in blueberries appear to exceed any unfavorable influence of the sugar. Blueberry anthocyanins may improve insulin sensitivity and glucose metabolism, according to research. Both blueberry juice and extract have anti-diabetes properties.

Two blueberry smoothies per day resulted in significant increases in insulin sensitivity in a trial of 32 obese persons with insulin resistance. Improved insulin sensitivity should reduce the incidence of metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes, two of the world's most serious health issues.
