Things to Watch Out For

Coriander is effective at lowering blood sugar. In fact, it’s so effective at lowering blood sugar that people who are taking diabetes medication or who have hypoglycemia should be cautious when eating coriander.

Since coriander is a spice, it’s usually not eaten in large quantities. However, early studies have shown that coriander extract can lower blood sugar in doses as low as 20 milligrams per kilogram of weight. While coriander extract is much stronger than standard coriander, it is still wise to keep your coriander intake under a few grams if you have hypoglycemia.
