Abstract Synopsis

  • The study found that taking curcumin for 12 months significantly improved blood sugar control and beta cell function in obese patients with type 2 diabetes, compared to a placebo.
  • Curcumin was associated with reductions in fasting blood glucose, HbA1c, insulin resistance, body weight, and BMI, and increases in beneficial adiponectin levels, indicating better insulin sensitivity.
  • Overall, the results suggest that curcumin could be a promising supplement to help manage type 2 diabetes by enhancing insulin function and reducing blood glucose levels.]
