TL;DR
From a water extract of the Oriental crude drug "ninjin" (ginseng), Panax ginseng roots from Nagano, Japan, five glycans, panaxans Q, R, S, T and U have been obtained and displayed marked hypoglycemic action in normal and alloxan-induced hyperglycemic mice.
Abstract
From an aqueous extract of the Oriental crude drug "ninjin" (ginseng), Panax ginseng roots from Korea, four glycans, panaxans I, J, K and L, have been isolated. These components remarkably reduced blood sugar levels in normal and alloxan-induced hyperglycemic mice.

A water extract of the Oriental crude drug “shikon”, LITHOSPERMUM ERYTHRORHIZON roots, remarkably diminished the plasma sugar level in mice and exerted marked hypoglycemic effects in normal and alloxan-induced hyperglycemic mice.
