Diabetes is a lifelong disease that can be managed but not cured. Spirulina can be beneficial for both types of diabetes.
In type 1 diabetes, it helps maintain pancreatic health, lower glucose levels, increase insulin sensitivity and improve liver function. (Lee 2017).
Numerous large studies analyse suggest that Spirulina may help reverse the development of diabetes mellitus:
- Significantly reduce fasting plasma glucose (FPG; -10.31)
- Lower insulin concentrations (-0.53)
- Significantly reduce total cholesterol (-20), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C; -19), and very low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (VLDL-C; -6.72) concentrations )
- Significantly increase high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C; 1.42) in patients with metabolic syndrome and similar disorders.
Since the risk of diabetes is more severe for overweight people and those with increased blood pressure, it will be helpful for you to know that using Spirulina for at least three months can also reduce these indicators. It reduces inflammation effects and has a broad antioxidant effect. Antioxidant effect is important in anti-aging and neutralizing the effects of stress. (Read more here)
