Can gardenia reduce blood sugar? With the prevalence of obesity and unhealthy lifestyle, diabetes has become one of the three non-communicable diseases with the highest morbidity and mortality, alongside cardiovascular diseases and tumors. Western medicine is still the main medicine for treating diabetes, and the effect is positive. However, due to the toxic side effects of chemical drugs and high medical expenses, modern Chinese medicine has also increased its in-depth research on diabetes in recent years. At present, there are many kinds of traditional Chinese medicines for treating diabetes, some of which have a history of thousands of years. Gardenia jasminoides Ellis, as a traditional Chinese medicine, is widely used in clinic and has many pharmacological activities. Geniposide is the main active ingredient with high content and easy to obtain, and its hypoglycemic effect has been widely concerned in recent years. But its mechanism is not clear, and there is no in-depth and systematic research. Gardenia jasminoides Ellis and its active ingredient geniposide may reduce blood sugar in more than one way. But the ultimate essence of diabetes is the failure of β cells, so protecting and repairing the survival and function of β cells is the basis of treatment.

Gardenia jasminoides Ellis and geniposide can alleviate the symptoms of diabetes and related metabolic disorders, so as to better treat diabetes and its complications. At the same time, Gardenia jasminoides Ellis and its active ingredient geniposide can not only promote insulin secretion, but also play a very important role in protecting and repairing the survival and function of β cells.
Therefore, Gardenia jasminoides Ellis and its active ingredient geniposide have great potential development value and application prospect. Gardenia plants in China are rich in resources, which provides resource guarantee for the development of new drugs. However, there is still a big gap between the current research and the actual development and application, which requires further research and discussion.
So the conclusion is that whether Gardenia can lower blood sugar is still under study.
