The dream of finding the natural resource for reduce the fasting glucose for patient in prediabetes or diabetes has been extremely difficult, probably due to the potent ingredient found effectively in animal levels can not induce the similar potential in human trials.


The smoothie for people with Hyperglycemia, or High Blood Sugar and high risk of diabetes
Yield: 2 serving (about 8 ounce each)
1 cup pomegranate
1/2 cup avocado
1 cup green tea drink (Make from 4 grams of green tea, a slice of ginger and a cup of hot water lipped for 5 minutes. Set aside for cooling to room temperature)


1. Place the pomegranate, avocado, and green tea, in a blender and puree about 1 minute
2. Blend on high speed about 1 minute or until the mixture is thick and the ice is well crushed. Add more green tea drink if needed
3. Serve immediately

Pomegranates is a fruit-bearing small tree, genus Punica, belongings to family Lythraceae, native to Iran, cultivated in Asian since ancient time. The fruit has been found to process various health benefits, including high blood pressure, high cholesterol, oxidative stress,...inflammatory activities(1).

Recent study in the investigation of a possible smoothie for treatment of Hyperglycemia, or High Blood Sugar suggested that green tea(5) used conjunction with pomegranates(1) and avocado(9) may be next generation of alternative potentials for patient with high fasting glucose.

According to Dr. Kim HK and the research team at the Hanseo University, pomegranate inhibited intestinal glucose uptake, through its effects in controlling the dietary glucose absorption at the intestinal tract in nutrient regulation expression, and of that may contribute to blood glucose homeostasis and reduced risk of diabetes(2).

Pomegranate flower extract, acted as alpha-glucosidase inhibitor, in the study by the The University of Sydney improved postprandial hyperglycemia in type 2 diabetes and obesity through inhibiting the increase of plasma glucose levels after sucrose loading(3). The flower extract in other study was also found to inhibit glucose loading-induced increase of plasma glucose levels through improved sensitivity of the insulin receptor(4).

Green tea has been a precious drink in traditional Chinese culture and used exceptional in socialization for more than 4000 thousand years used in traditional Chinese medicine for treatment of various diseases, including cancers and heart diseases.

According to the joint study by the University of Massachusetts, tea extracts exhibited anti-diabetic effects, through the intestinal rat α-glucosidases activity, radical scavenging activity, and total phenolic content as well as delayed glucose absorption(6). Its polyphenol epigallocatechin-3-gallate showed to inhibit grade 2 or 3 liver fatty degeneration of severe hyperglycemia,.... in animal model(7).
In obesity and related disorders of hypercholesterolemia andhyperglycemia, functional drink including catechins and epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) in human trialsshowed a significant reduce levels of serum glucose and insulin in obese patients Dr. Ahmad RS. and the resaerch team at the joint study lead by Govt College University Faisalabad suggested(8).

Avocados are a commercially valuable fruit and are cultivated in tropical climates throughout the world. It is a green-skinned, pear-shaped fruit that ripens after harvesting and native to the Caribbean, Mexico, South America and Central America.

In the progression of NAFLD in experimental models of steatosis, avocado oil improved mitochondrial ETC, in reduced generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS)function by attenuating the deleterious effects of oxidative stress in fasting glucose(9).

Further more, according to the study by the Federal University of Pernambuco, avocado leaf popularly used in the treatment of diabetes in countries in Latin America and Africa, exhibited anti-diabetic properties and possibly acts to regulate glucose uptake in liver and muscles(10).

Dr. Lerman-Garber I and the research team at the National Institute of Cardiology Ignacio Chávez said, "....monounsaturated fatty acids (avocado as one of its main sources) in the diet of patients with non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus improves the lipid profile favorably, maintains an adequate glycemic control, and offers a good management alternative"(11).

Taking all together, Smoothie of Pomegranate, avocado and Green Tea may be a potent drink for reduced risk and treatment of Hyperglycemia, or High Blood Sugar
People who are at increased risk of Hyperglycemia, or High Blood Sugar due to family history, gene mutation.....should drink at least one cup daily and people with chronic Hyperglycemia, or High Blood Sugar should drink the juices as much as they can, depending to digestive toleration.
Change of life style and diet pattern are also recommended.
