Manage Blood Sugar Levels

One 1998 research of ten persons with type 1 diabetes discovered that drinking fig leaf tea with breakfast may have reduced their insulin demands. Their insulin dosages were reduced by roughly 12% during the month they were given fig leaf tea. Furthermore, a recent study discovered that drinks containing high dosages of fig fruit extract had a lower glycemic index (GI) than beverages having no fig fruit extract, implying that these drinks might have a better influence on blood sugar levels.

However, fig fruits, particularly dried figs, are rich in sugar and may temporarily raise blood sugar levels. Limit your intake of dried figs if you have difficulties controlling your blood sugar levels.
