In 2013,  the results of a five-year study into the effects of cannabis on fasting  insulin and insulin resistance were published in the American Journal  of Medicine.\nThe researchers found that current users of cannabis had\n16% lower fasting insulin levels than respondents who had never used cannabis, and\n17% lower levels of insulin resistance and higher levels of HDL.\nRespondents  who had used cannabis in their lifetime but were not current users  showed similar but less pronounced associations, indicating that the  protective effect of cannabis fades with time.\nThe  researchers also ran analyses on the data that excluded individuals  diagnosed with diabetes. Even after excluding diabetics, current  cannabis users were found to exhibit reduced fasting insulin and insulin  resistance levels, indicating that cannabis can help prevent the  occurrence of diabetes as well as alleviate symptoms in diagnosed cases.\n<a href=\"https://www.amjmed.com/article/S0002-9343(13)00200-3/fulltext\">https://www.amjmed.com/article/S0002-9343(13)00200-3/fulltext</a></p>\n<p>drkim</p>\n<hr>\n<p>There have also been a few preclinical studies showing promising results, which may help explain the above results.\n<a href=\"https://www.projectcbd.org/diabetes\">https://www.projectcbd.org/diabetes</a>.\n\"We now report that CBD treatment significantly reduces the incidence of  diabetes...from an incidence of 86% in non-treated-control mice to an incidence of 30% in CBD-treated mice...possibly through an immunomodulatory mechanism\"\n<a href=\"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16698671\">https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16698671</a></p>\n<p>Researches  conducting a similar study found that only 32% of CBD-treated mice in the early stages of diabetes progressed to overt diabetes, whereas 100%  of the non-CBD-treated mice did progress to overt diabetes. In other words, CBD halted the progression of pre-diabetes in 68% of the CBD  treated mice.\n<a href=\"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17714746\">https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17714746</a></p>\n<p>There was also a very recently published randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study (the gold-standard of study design) which found that in humans:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>THCV  significantly decreased fasting plasma glucose and improved pancreatic β-cell (insulin secreting cell) function</li>\n<li>CBD reduced a hormone called resistin, which has been shown to increase LDL (bad cholesterol)\n-CBD increased glucose-dependent-insulinotropic peptide, which is a hormone that enhances the release of insulin following the intake of food.\n<a href=\"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27573936\">https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27573936</a></li>\n</ul>\n<p>For more information on THCV:\n<a href=\"https://www.hellomd.com/health-wellness/5a8db389f24d1300077ccb5a/psychoactive-thcv-the-cannabinoid-that-kills-your-appetite\">https://www.hellomd.com/health-wellness/5a8db389f24d1300077ccb5a/psychoactive-thcv-the-cannabinoid-that-kills-your-appetite</a></p>\n<p>drkim</p>","timeToRead":2}},"defaultImage":{"childImageSharp":{"fluid":{"base64":"data:image/jpeg;base64,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","aspectRatio":1.5,"src":"/static/1e164eb4ee29aff63b63675577d389d3/a07a5/question-default-image.jpg","srcSet":"/static/1e164eb4ee29aff63b63675577d389d3/decd9/question-default-image.jpg 150w,\n/static/1e164eb4ee29aff63b63675577d389d3/15aed/question-default-image.jpg 300w,\n/static/1e164eb4ee29aff63b63675577d389d3/a07a5/question-default-image.jpg 600w,\n/static/1e164eb4ee29aff63b63675577d389d3/701ee/question-default-image.jpg 800w","srcWebp":"/static/1e164eb4ee29aff63b63675577d389d3/483a3/question-default-image.webp","srcSetWebp":"/static/1e164eb4ee29aff63b63675577d389d3/e8bcc/question-default-image.webp 150w,\n/static/1e164eb4ee29aff63b63675577d389d3/4fec1/question-default-image.webp 300w,\n/static/1e164eb4ee29aff63b63675577d389d3/483a3/question-default-image.webp 600w,\n/static/1e164eb4ee29aff63b63675577d389d3/2ad7f/question-default-image.webp 800w","sizes":"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px"}}}},"pageContext":{"id":12028,"slug":"is-cbd-oil-good-for-type-2-diabetes","country":"US"}},"staticQueryHashes":["3949754563","4179947113","4202924991"]}
