A popular tropical fruit is making headlines for its potential to support healthy blood sugar levels: guava.
Experts say guava’s low glycemic index, high fiber content, and powerful antioxidants may help prevent sugar spikes and improve insulin sensitivity. Its soluble fiber slows digestion, keeps you full longer, and supports better weight control — all important for managing diabetes.
Even guava leaf tea is gaining attention, with studies showing it may lower post-meal glucose and improve how the body handles carbs.
Health professionals recommend eating fresh guava, drinking guava leaf tea, and avoiding sugary guava juices.
Moderation is key, and guava should not replace medical treatment.
