Turmeric might prevent Type 2 Diabetes, finds study

According to a recent study, the researchers believed that Type-2 diabetes might be delayed or prevented with the regular use of turmeric coupled with omega-3 fat.

"The anti-inflammatory mechanisms surrounding curcumin and omega-3 fats are different, so we want to test if they complement each other and have treatment synergies beyond their individual effects," Garg said.

The Health scientists from the University of Newcastle's Nutraceuticals Research Group reported that the compounds used for the prevention of the disease is quite safe and has asked four groups of people, aged between 30 to 70 and prone to Diabetes, to conduct these tests.

The first group was given one curcumin, the second with only omega three fats and the third with a combination of both. The fourth group is used in acting as a control group avoiding the supplies. The ratio suggests that it contains 200 mg of curcumin and one gram of Omega 3- fats.

After successful experiments, the researchers believed that, the medicine is safe and has no side effects and can be used to treat diabetes.
