Saffron Improves Long Term Diabetes Control

Diabetes is a serious health condition that is rapidly on the rise. The beautiful, powerful and gentle herb saffron may be able to help solve that problem.

A new meta-analysis of 12 controlled studies has found that, though saffron may not help insulin sensitivity or resistance, it does significantly lower fasting plasma glucose, and, most importantly, it does significantly lower HbA1c.

The reason that significantly improving HbA1c is important is that HbA1c is the most important marker of long term blood sugar and diabetes control.

This study adds to the evidence that the versatile herb saffron may also offer significant benefit to diabetics.
