00:00Regular ginger supplements may have a modest effect on blood sugar.
00:03Research has mainly focused on people with type 2 diabetes.
00:07One review found lower fasting blood sugar among supplement users.
00:11Participants took about 1.2 to 2 grams of ginger daily.
00:14The supplements were used for 4 to 12 weeks.
00:17Fasting blood sugar was about 19 momer DL lower on average.
00:21Ginger may also improve how the body responds to insulin.
00:24One study found improved insulin sensitivity after 12 weeks.
00:28Another analysis found A1C dropped by about 0.4 percentage points.
00:33But researchers say the evidence is not consistent.
00:37A 2024 review found no significant overall A1C reduction.
00:41Eating ginger with food may also have less predictable effects.
00:45Ginger supplements can interact with diabetes medications and cause low blood sugar.
00:50Experts say supplements should not replace prescribed diabetes treatment.
