The Effects of Curcumin on Diabetes Mellitus: A Systematic Review
Abstract
A systematic review of sixteen studies on Curcuma longa / curcumin in diabetes mellitus. Curcumin's anti-diabetic activity may be due to its capacity to suppress oxidative stress and inflammation; it significantly reduced fasting blood glucose, glycated hemoglobin and body mass index, and nanocurcumin reduced triglycerides, total and LDL cholesterol, C-reactive protein and malondialdehyde, supporting its use in the management of diabetes.
