DiabeCode is not a diabetes medicine — and not ANC DiabeCode 750 mg
Marketplaces sell another product with almost the same name: ANC DiabeCode, 60 capsules of 750 mg. The pack, count and contents differ. This review covers DiabeCode, 20 caps, in a green-and-white box with a red drop.
| Name | What it is | How to tell them apart |
|---|---|---|
| DiabeCode capsule (this page) | Herbal food supplement, 20 capsules | White bottle with a green lid, “Diabe CODE” in silver letters, “20 caps” |
| ANC DiabeCode 750 mg, 60 capsules (Amazon, Flipkart) | Another supplement | Different maker, 60 capsules instead of 20, different label |
| Prescription diabetes tablets | Medicines prescribed by a doctor | DiabeCode is a supplement; it does not replace any diabetes medicine |
| Foreign pages selling “Diabecode” | Other markets | Sites for other countries; prices and products differ |

What does the DiabeCode pack say it is for?
The pack says DiabeCode may help support a healthy metabolism and general well-being, naturally
, with the tagline Absolute herbal wellness
and three icons — Balance, Vitality, Energy. These are the maker’s words on the box; we do not confirm them.
The name and the blood-drop drawing suggest blood sugar, but nothing on the label presents it as a diabetes medicine — and it must not be used as one. Diabetes treatment is decided with your doctor.

DiabeCode capsule side effects and who should not take it
St. John’s wort: the most important warning on this page
St. John’s wort makes the body clear many medicines faster, so they work less well. Medicines affected include birth-control pills, warfarin and other blood thinners, digoxin, cyclosporine and tacrolimus, HIV medicines, some cancer medicines, some statins and some epilepsy medicines. Taken with antidepressants (SSRIs, SNRIs) or migraine triptans it can cause serotonin syndrome. It also makes skin more sensitive to sunlight. If you take any regular medicine, do not start DiabeCode without asking your doctor.
If you have diabetes
- Do not stop or change your diabetes treatment — metformin, glimepiride, gliclazide, sitagliptin, voglibose, insulin or any other — without your doctor. Tell the doctor you are thinking of taking a herbal capsule.
- Low sugar (hypoglycaemia) risk. Fenugreek, gymnema and barberry have been studied for their effect on blood sugar. Together with diabetes medicines this can push sugar too low. Check your sugar more often in the first weeks.
- Signs of low sugar: sweating, shaking, a fast heartbeat, sudden hunger, confusion. Take about 15 g of fast sugar (glucose, a glass of juice) and check again after 15 minutes; if you do not feel better, see a doctor.
Who should not take it
- Pregnant or breastfeeding women, and anyone planning a pregnancy without a doctor’s advice.
- Children.
- People allergic to fenugreek — the allergy can cross over with peanuts and chickpeas.
- People with liver or kidney disease — only after talking to a doctor.
Medicines to watch
- Blood thinners and anti-platelet medicines (warfarin, aspirin, clopidogrel): fenugreek may add to their effect. Stop the capsule two weeks before planned surgery.
- Barberry contains berberine, which interacts with several medicines (for example cyclosporine and some sedatives). If you take any regular medicine, ask your doctor first.
When to call for help
Low sugar with fainting or fits, signs of ketoacidosis (nausea, vomiting, fruity smell on the breath, fast breathing, drowsiness) or a very high reading on your glucometer are emergencies: call 112 or an ambulance on 108.
More cautions for DiabeCode’s ingredients
- Giloy: Indian doctors have reported cases of liver injury after giloy use. People with liver disease or autoimmune disease — only with a doctor.
- Graviola: long-term use has been linked to nerve problems; not for people with Parkinson’s disease or similar disorders.
- Dandelion: may interact with water tablets, lithium and potassium-sparing medicines; allergy possible in people allergic to ragweed or chamomile.
- Probiotics: people with weak immunity or on chemotherapy — only with a doctor.
What the research says about these ingredients
There is no study of DiabeCode itself. The US National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health concludes that no herbal supplement has been shown to control diabetes. Fenugreek, gymnema and berberine-containing barberry have small studies with mixed results; graviola, dandelion, tragacanth and lesser yam have little or no human research on blood sugar.
What is well documented is the safety side: St. John’s wort’s drug interactions are among the best-known of any herb, and giloy-related liver injury has been described in Indian case series.

DiabeCode capsule: questions people ask
What is DiabeCode used for, according to the pack?
The box says it may help support a healthy metabolism and general well-being
. That is the maker’s claim. DiabeCode is not a diabetes medicine.
Can I take DiabeCode with metformin or insulin?
Only after asking your doctor. Several ingredients can add to diabetes medicines, and St. John’s wort interacts with many other drugs.
Can I take DiabeCode with birth-control pills?
No, not without a doctor. St. John’s wort can make the pill less effective.
Is DiabeCode the same as ANC DiabeCode 750 mg?
No. ANC DiabeCode is a 60-capsule product from another maker.
What are the side effects of DiabeCode?
No product data has been published. Known ingredient risks: medicine interactions and sun sensitivity (St. John’s wort), rare liver injury (giloy), low sugar together with diabetes medicines, allergy to fenugreek or dandelion.
How long does one pack last?
10 days at 2 capsules a day.
Is DiabeCode safe in pregnancy?
No. Fenugreek, barberry and St. John’s wort are not recommended in pregnancy or while breastfeeding.
