Dr. Pan Yongyuan
People with diabetes may drink decoctions made from wild mulberry roots. This is because wild mulberry roots are rich in glycoproteins, and consuming such decoctions may help lower blood glucose levels to some extent. Moreover, wild mulberry roots contain abundant flavonoids, which can promote normal human metabolism and aid in the timely excretion of urine.
