Trying to think of a good drink for breakfast if you are diabetic? Chamomile tea, also known as manzanilla, is one of the best choices.
According to a new study published September 10, 2008 in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, chamomile extract fed to mice can help to prevent the complications of diabetes, which include loss of vision, nerve damage, and kidney damage.
The new study was conducted by Dr. Atsushi Kato and his team of researchers from the University of Toyama in Toyama, Japan, and researchers from the Institute of Grassland and Environmental Research in the United Kingdom.
The research may be used in the future to develop chamomile-based diabetes medications.
In the meantime, drinking a cup or two daily can help in your overall program of diabetes management.
