Does the guava-leaf 'diabetes cure' claim actually hold up?
short by / on Thursday, 4 December, 2025
The assertion that two Guava leaves can reverse Diabetes mellitus within 15 days lacks evidence. Though Dr Annusuiya, MD Scholar at the All India Institute of Ayurveda, says guava-leaf extracts may exert modest alpha-glucosidase inhibition and support glycaemic control in type-2 diabetes, no human trial demonstrates reversal or cure. The original social-media claim is therefore rated false.
