Are Vistevia products safe for diabetics?
Anti-diabetic property of Steviol Glycosides
Stevia contains compounds called Steviol glycosides, which give stevia its sweet taste,Steviol glycosides are approximately 200-300 times sweeter than regular sugar (sucrose), This extreme sweetness is due to the presence of two compounds: stevioside and rebaudioside. These extracts have been used in the traditional treatment of diabetes in Paraguay and Brazil. In recent studies, anti-diabetic effect of steviosides has been proved beyond doubt.

Stevia extracts might have direct insulinotropic and anti-hyperglycaemic effects in type 2 diabetes.
Compared to artificial sweeteners, stevia can suppress the plasma glucose levels and raise your glucose tolerance. Stevia also has zero calories, which makes it highly beneficial for people seeking to lower their glucose levels. Glucagon, a hormone, produced by alpha cells of the pancreas, helps raise the glucose level in the bloodstream. Stevia has been found to prompt a glucagon response and reduce blood glucose. With reduced levels of glucagon, Glycogenolysis and Gluconeogenesis is decelerated, which means that the production of glucose is decreased by the liver. Eventually this results in lower amounts of glucose being released into the blood plasma.
