Stevia does not give direct antidiabetic effects but its
use as a sweetener reduces the intake of sugars in patients. Stevia brings down
the blood sugar levels, increase insulin resistance and discourage the
absorption of glucose in the blood without any side effects. The glycemic index
of stevia is zero because it is not converted into glucose in the body. Stevia
has been used in the treatment of diabetes in South America from centuries and
in Germany and Japan from over two decades. The Hypoglycemic action is probably
produced due to the presence of the steviosides. Steviol glycosides can not be
metabolized by the body and are excreted out in the urine besides getting
accrued in the body. Stevia foster the pancreas and helps it to restore regular
pancreatic function, which is helpful for the diabetic condition.
According to survey, there is a 35.2% fall in blood sugar levels after 6 to 8 hours of the ingestion of a stevia leaf extract. However, stevia does not lower the blood glucose levels in normal condition. Drinking the tea made with its extract or crushed raw Stevia leaves daily may help to cure hyperglycemia. Diabetes is generally accompanied by edema, slow healing and high blood pressure. Stevia assists in all such indications because it has antiseptic qualities and diuretic effect.

The sweet-tasting herb stevia is quickly gaining
popularity as a naturopathic treatment for type II diabetes and related
conditions. The World Health Organization has advised consumers that, while
evidence of stevia's effectiveness is limited, several small-scale animal
studies have apparently confirmed its ability to enhance insulin production and
insulin sensitivity. Because major governing bodies identify stevia as safe and
nontoxic, it become an important component of natural diabetes management.
