Without this mechanism, blood sugar levels can reach dangerous peaks.

A study published in the Saudi Journal of Biological Sciences found drinking mulberry tea offset the blood sugar spikes brought on by eating.

The aim of the study, entitled "Reduction of postprandial hyperglycemia by mulberry tea in type-2 diabetes patients'', was to identify the effect of mulberry tea in the reduction of abnormally high postprandial blood glucose (PPG) levels in type 2 diabetes patients.

Postprandial blood glucose or PPG measures blood glucose (sugar) levels following a meal containing a set amount of carbohydrate.

For the study, 20 diabetic patients were given plain tea (control) and 28 diabetic patients were given mulberry tea (test subject) to measure the effect of mulberry tea on fasting blood glucose and PPG levels.

The researchers dubbed the reduction in blood sugar following mulberry tea as "highly significant".

The researchers concluded: "Mulberry tea suppresses postprandial rise of blood glucose levels after 90 min of its consumption."
