With high blood sugar, you may experience a number of symptoms, including thirst, frequent urination, and headaches. As long as your blood sugar stays high, it can cause nerve damage, vision problems, and skin infections. For instance, if you have noticed that your skin doesn’t clear, your blood sugar could be high. In an animal study, wheatgrass has been shown that it reduces blood sugar levels.
Diabetic rats who had diabetes were given wheatgrass extract for 30 days. After 30 days, there blood sugar levels were decreased. All of the studies that have been conducted have been on animals. Diabetics can eat or drink wheatgrass for 30 days to see if it lowers their blood sugar.
Diabetics check their sugar levels on a daily basis, so they will be able to tell if it has lowered. If it becomes low enough, you may be able to stop taking medication for your diabetes.
