Red Wine & Tea Help Regulate Blood Sugar in Type 2 Diabetics
Levels of blood glucose rise sharply in patients with type 2 diabetes immediately following a meal. Red wine and tea contain natural antioxidants that may slow the passage of glucose through the small intestine and eventually into the bloodstream and prevent this spike, which is an important step in managing this disease.
Antioxidants, called polyphenolics, such as resveratrol, found in the wines may play a role in inhibiting alpha-glucosidase and slowing the passage of carbohydrates into the bloodstream.
One of the main challenges in managing diabetes is keeping blood sugar levels as normal as possible with few major fluctuations, which can prevent the disease from contributing to heart disease and high blood pressure as well as damaging the eyes, kidneys, nerves and blood vessels.
