Hi
@M.A.R. , Marcelo,
Some foods, herbs or infusions are good for diabetics in that they do not raise glucose levels.
There are no foods that actively lower blood glucose by more than a tiny bit (except alcohol, and that has its own downsides).
As a rule of thumb, anything containing carbohydrates will raise blood glucose, and the more grams of carbs you ingest, the more BG will raise.
You used AI for answers, and this is a typical situation of AI not being a reliable source.
AI uses the whole internet as a source, including all the not verified sources from people who want to make money off people being scared with a new diagnosis.
Using AI will tell you lots of supplements are helpful in diabetes because scared people will try all kinds of stuff, and other people see this as an opportunity to make money.
AI picks this information up and feeds it back to you.
Using AI as a source on this forum is not allowed for this reason, please do not post information from AI sources.
I love to use ginger, cinnamon and nettles in cooking and it makes no difference at all in my blood glucose, it tastes good though!
A few years ago, I cut a nettle plant and made myself a tea, and my blood sugar dropped considerably, but not to dangerous levels.
As a prediabetic not on medication, low BG is not something you should be worried about.
Dangerous lows are almost always caused by medication, not diet.
