Abstract
Ashwagandha may effectively restore altered blood glucose and glycosylated haemoglobin (HbA1c) levels.
- Active compounds called withanolides could modulate glucose levels and improve insulin sensitivity.
- Systematic reviews support Ashwagandha's efficacy in managing blood glucose without significant safety concerns.
- Animal studies indicate that both root and leaf extracts have hypoglycaemic effects and improve metabolic parameters.
- Limited clinical evidence suggests potential enhancements in insulin sensitivity and metabolic profiles for diabetic patients.
- Further research is needed to confirm Ashwagandha's therapeutic benefits in diabetes management.
