Which traditional Chinese medicines can lower blood sugar?

What are the traditional Chinese medicines that can lower blood sugar?

1, Astragalus:

Pharmacological research shows that Astragalus has the functions of enhancing myocardial contractility, relaxing coronary vessels, lowering blood pressure, protecting liver cells and lowering blood sugar. Astragalus combined with nourishing yin drugs (such as Radix Rehmanniae, Radix Scrophulariae, Radix Ophiopogonis, etc. ) is commonly used to treat diabetes in clinic.

2. Bone skin:

Pharmacological research shows that Cortex Lycii has obvious effect of lowering blood pressure and blood sugar. After taking Lycium barbarum decoction, the blood sugar of rabbits increased in the short term and decreased in the long term.

3. Coptis chinensis:

According to clinical reports, berberine can significantly reduce blood sugar in the treatment of diabetes, and Huanglian decoction can reduce blood sugar in normal mice and alloxan-induced diabetic mice. Experiments show that the hypoglycemic mechanism of berberine does not affect the secretion and release of insulin, nor does it affect the number and affinity of insulin receptors in hepatocytes, but produces hypoglycemic effect by inhibiting gluconeogenesis and promoting glycolysis.
