A published human study on DIABETIC patients consuming Insulin Plant reported the following findings:
Blood sugar levels improved significantly in all participants consuming Insulin Plant.
Improvements were seen from day 15 and continued improving through day 60.
Patients previously uncontrolled on medications achieved better glucose control. Insulin doses were reduced by half in patients using insulin.
Improvement in certain diabetes-related complications, including non-healing ulcers and recurrent urinary tract infections.
Participants continued using Insulin Plant because of the reported benefit to glycaemic control.
No adverse effects from consuming Insulin Plant leaves were reported among the 30 study participants.
The study was a cross-sectional human study that examined 30 adults with diabetes who consumed Insulin Plant leaves in addition to their existing treatment. The researchers concluded that regular consumption was necessary for benefits to be observed and recommended a larger controlled trial.
GLP-1 is a hormone naturally produced in the gut that plays an important role in the body's response to food, including helping stimulate insulin release when glucose levels rise.
Researchers found that Insulin Plant leaf extract significantly increased GLP-1 secretion 6.4–16.3-fold in an established intestinal L-cell model (GLUTag cells).
The same study also reported potentially protective effects on insulin-producing pancreatic β-cells.
This was a laboratory cell study, not a human clinical trial.
Researchers found that aqueous Costus pictus extract stimulated insulin release from isolated human and mouse pancreatic islets at low glucose levels.
These were laboratory experiments on isolated cells, not a human clinical trial.

Reviews from Insulin Plant customers in the USA.
“It works, I been on it about a month and got big improvements. My sugar stayed around 16.7 all the time, now it stays about 8.3. I have never had it stay so close to where I wanted it.”
Daniel“My blood sugar ran in the upper 16's a week ago and now it runs between 6.1–6.7. I was just only on Metformin and Glipizide and it still wasn’t enough to keep my numbers in range. Thanks again and I definitely let everyone know about your product and how it gave me my life back.”
Tanya“It works takes about a month but dropped my blood sugar by 3.3 points!!”
Larry“My sugar level dropped from 22.2 to 12.2 the next day.”

Monica“I take a variety of herbal supplements to help manage blood sugar. It wasn't until I started taking Insulin Plant that I noticed the biggest changes. Now I may try backing off some of the others. YES, IT WORKS.”
