Antidiabetic and Metabolic Effects of Turmeric (Curcuma Longa) in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus or Hyperglycemia – A Systematic Meta-Review and Meta-Analysis
Curcumin supplementation shows statistically significant improvements in glycemic control and lipid profiles in individuals with T2DM or hyperglycemia, supporting its potential as an adjunct therapy. However, its effects on renal markers, blood pressure, and body weight remain inconclusive. Moreover the efficacy of the crude powder of turmeric remain unexplored. Future trials should address long-term efficacy and safety to optimize the therapeutic role of curcumin and turmeric powder in diabetes management.
