Hyperglycemia reducing in type 2 diabetes mellitus by small doses of glucose and sweeteners

Abstract

The aim of the study – to determine the effects of small doses of glucose, plant (sweet stevia leaves extract) and chemical (aspartame) sweeteners on the blood glucose level in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
The authors recommend that one of the first possible ways to treat type 2 diabetes is to reduce hyperglycemia by influence on the oral mucosa with small doses of glucose and sweeteners: plant (sweet stevia leaves extract) and chemical (aspartame).
By observing patients with type 2 diabetes, the researchers found the effect of reducing hyperglycemia with low doses of glucose and artificial sweeteners. According to the level of reduction of hyperglycemia in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, the studied substances can be arranged as follows: glucose < sweet stevia leaves extract < aspartame.
The authors conclude that small doses of glucose, plant (sweet stevia leaves extract) and chemical (aspartame) sweeteners are able to reduce hyperglycemia in patients with type 2 diabetes.
