Ginger's relationship with diabetes is a relatively recent topic in medical studies, but ginger may have some effective anti-diabetic properties, as a study published in 2015 in the Iranian Journal of Pharmaceutical Research showed that people with type 2 diabetes take ginger every day. Over a 12-week period, fasting blood sugar levels and hbA1c test levels have been lowered, but your doctor may need to adjust dosages of diabetes medications to prevent their conflict with ginger, as they can increase insulin levels and lower blood sugar levels.
But this does not mean that ginger is consumed entirely, as it can be consumed under the supervision of a doctor, it is a good alternative to salt, which may lead to high blood pressure when excessive, and can be added to enhance the flavor of beverages and foods such as healthy spices, or use it entirely for the flavor of tea, in addition to the use of its powder in baked goods, but the consumption of its processed products such as sugary drinks may not benefit the patient as much as the desired increase in sugar.
Spanish nutritionist Aitor Sánchez also identified two important advantages of ginger, quoted by La Vanguardia, as one of the most studied and studied subjects. However, it should be noted that problems can arise if the product is consumed in large quantities, not with the traditional use of ginger as a kilo."First, it has an antioxidant effect, making this type of spice, useful in the prevention of diseases. Second, ginger helps increase insulin sensitivity and lower blood sugar levels. For this reason, diabetics should always consult a doctor before using it." NHS England recommended ginger as well as the products it contains, to overcome travel nausea. Therefore, if the traveler begins to feel sick, he can drink tea and eat gingerbread.
The researchers also reported that ginger extracts interact with serotonin receptors, which enhances insulin secretion, which helps reduce blood glucose levels by 35%, and increase insulin levels in plasma by 10%. Delayed cataracts: A study published in 2010 revealed that getting a small daily dose of ginger helps delay the appearance and development of cataracts, a long-term diabetes-related complication.
Fortunately, ginger works with more than one anti-diabetic mechanism, including:
Take insulin out of the pancreas.
Reduce glucose in blood.
Increased tissue sensitivity to insulin.
Adjust the representation of carbohydrates.
Change the metabolism of fat.
In addition, ginger, through the active ingredients of Gingerol and Shogol, prevents complications of diabetes, such as its effects on the liver, kidneys, eye, heart and nerves.
Research in this area has recently increased, for example:
A study of 41 patients with type 2 diabetes led to 2 grams of ginger powder per day:
- 12% reduction in blood sugar (fasting)
- HbA1c has significantly improved hba1c by 10% over 12 weeks, and it is this hemoglobin that gives us an indication of improved blood sugar levels in the long term.
- A 28% decrease in ApoB/ApoA, which indicates increased risk factors for the heart.
- A 23% decrease in oxidized lipoproteins.
All of them are major risk factors for heart disease if increased, although heart disease is one of the most common complications of diabetes.
In studies of animals With type 1 diabetes, long-term use of ginger has led to:
- Lowering blood sugar levels.
- Reduce triglycerides.
- Lowering total cholesterol in the blood.
- Reduce proteins in the urine.
- Improved oxidative stress with increased antioxidants.
