Gymnema sylvestre
Gymnema is a woody climbing vine native to India and Africa, known in Ayurveda as "gurmar" meaning "sugar destroyer." When chewed, its leaves temporarily block the ability to taste sweetness. It has been used for over 2,000 years for diabetes management and modern research confirms its blood sugar-lowering effects.
| Drug | Severity | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Insulin | moderate | Gymnema may enhance insulin's blood sugar-lowering effect, requiring dose adjustment and monitoring. |
| Glipizide | moderate | Gymnema combined with sulfonylureas may cause excessive blood sugar reduction. |
