ABSTRACT:
A method of treating diabetes in a patient comprising the steps of administering a first quantity of an ingestible medium of coccoloba uvifera leaf extract to the patient, monitoring the patient's change in serum glucose level, and modifying, if needed, the first quantity of the ingestible medium of coccoloba uvifera leaf extract wherein the patient's serum glucose level is reduced to normal levels. Normal levels are generally considered to be about 110 to 130 mg serum glucose per liter. Accordingly, monitoring and adjustment in the dosages of the ingestible medium of coccoloba uvifera leaf extract are increased until the patient's serum glucose level is reduced to 130 mg per liter or less. The patient's serum glucose level may be monitored daily or twice daily depending on the severity of the patient's condition. While the ingestible medium of coccoloba uvifera leaf may be ingested daily, dosages may be staggered to several times a week provided the patient's condition is properly monitored.
