Promote Healthy Blood Sugar Levels

Because of their high polyphenol and fiber content, lingonberries and lingonberry extract may help manage blood sugar, according to test-tube and animal studies. These findings are supported by preliminary human research. Despite the increased carbs from the fruit, healthy men who ate sweetened yogurt with 1/3 cup (40 grams) of lingonberry powder had the same blood sugar and insulin levels as those who had yogurt without the powder.

Similar to this, when healthy women consumed 2/3 cup (150 grams) of pureed lingonberries together with around 3 tablespoons (35 grams) of sugar, their post-meal peak insulin levels were 17% lower than those of a control group that only consumed the sugar. Your body's ability to respond to insulin can be preserved by controlling insulin levels and lowering insulin spikes, which lowers your risk of type 2 diabetes and obesity.
