Gymnema simulates islets of Langerhans- cells in the pancreas which secretes insulin and hence finds use in the treatment of type 1 diabetes or insulin-dependent diabetes. An in-vitro study confirmed that extract of Gymnema leaves increases membrane permeability of cells that secrete insulin. A similar study found the efficacy of Gymnema leaf extract treatment in patients with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus and its use in the treatment of type 1 diabetes.
