Guava is a sweet tropical fruit that may help with blood sugar control,
making it useful for people with diabetes or those hoping to prevent it.
Because it has a “Low Glycemic Index (GI),” it doesn’t cause quick sugar spikes.
It’s also high in fiber, which can “slow down sugar absorption,”
support digestion, and prevent sharp rises in blood sugar after meals.
The fruit is rich in vitamin C, potassium, and flavonoids like quercetin,
which may improve insulin sensitivity and reduce inflammation.
Guava leaves are also a traditional remedy; studies show guava leaf tea can help
“lower blood glucose after meals” and improve insulin function.
To use guava for blood sugar control, eat the fruit raw, drink guava leaf tea,
and avoid sugary processed guava products. Moderate portions are still important.
Guava can support healthy levels but doesn’t replace medical treatment.
