Curcumin as a Supportive Therapy in Type 2 Diabetic Patients by Anand Seth, Sravya Iyyuni, Saurabh Sharma, Ritu Sethi, Suresh Nath, Michael Imeokparia

“…The management of diabetes is a lifelong process that requires diabetic education, attempts to achieve near optimal glycemic control, minimizing cardiovascular and other long-term risk factors, and avoidance of drugs that can exacerbate abnormalities of insulin and lipid metabolism. In the treatment of T2DM, curcumin has demonstrated much potential as an adjunct therapy due to its anti-inflammatory properties and its ability to reduce oxidative stresses within the body. …”
