These herbs along with almostDiabetes control 30 others are present in Diabecon - a herbal and mineral ayurvedic blend manufactured by Himalaya herbals.

In addition to being anti-diabetic, these herbs have beta cell protective and regenerative properties. They help repair the damage to the beta cells and actually repopulate the islets of langerhans in the pancreas. This aids in promotion of normal insulin secretion.

Diabecon acts like insulin and helps in glycemic control. It reduces blood sugar levels and produced significant decreases in both fasting and postprandial blood glucose levels in newly diagnosed patients as well as those taking OHAs. Diabecon also rids the body particularly the b-cells of oxidants and harmful agents so cell recovery and regeneration is faster and more efficient. It also acts as an antioxidant further protecting b-cells from damage and oxidative stress. Studies have shown that Diabecon also helped to protect the lens of the eye from sugar induced cataract.

Diabetes and beta cells | Regeneration of beta cells


Research has shown that in type 2 diabetes, especially in obesity-linked diabetes, the beta cells of the pancreas are not able to produce adequate insulin for the body's needs. This arises partially due to decreased beta-cell mass. In adults, pancreatic beta-cell mass in adults is subject to several factors such as beta-cell replication, neogenesis, hypertrophy, and survival. Loss of beta-cell mass in addition to beta cell dysfunction is a major factor in the onset of type 2 diabetes.

Diabecon a herbal formulation of herbs such as Gymnema sylvestre, Momordica charantia, Diabecon tabletsPterocarpus marsupium, Commiphora wightii, Tinospora cordifolia, Boerhaavia diffusa and others, helps to regenerate beta-cells especially in the pancreas and to protect them from oxidative damage. Diabecon also increases the c-peptide level. Diabecon acts like insulin and is useful for both newly diagnosed patients as well as patients who are already taking oral hypoglycaemic agents.
