Lower Blood Sugar

Cucumbers have been shown in animal and test-tube experiments to help lower blood sugar levels and avoid certain diabetic problems. One animal research looked at the impact of several plants on blood sugar levels. Cucumbers have been demonstrated to successfully lower and regulate blood sugar levels. In another animal investigation, mice were given diabetes and subsequently given cucumber peel extract. Cucumber peel restored the majority of the diabetes-related alterations and reduced blood sugar levels.

Cucumbers may also be beneficial in reducing oxidative stress and preventing diabetes-related problems, according to one test-tube research. The existing data, however, is restricted to test-tube and animal research. More study is needed to discover how cucumbers may impact human blood sugar levels.
