The cannabis compound is able to counter some diabetes-related symptoms

After having gone through times where the legalization of marijuana has begun to take an unexpected turn for the better, the spotlight has now turned to the medicinal use of cannabidiol (CBD). In the case of diabetes, it is a condition described as an elevated blood glucose (blood sugar) level, either due to inefficient insulin production or because our body’s cells do not respond well to insulin.

Insulin controls the amount of glucose; therefore, the glucose level must be kept at a certain minimum for the brain to function normally. Type 1 diabetes can develop at any age, usually appearing in people under the age of 40. It is the most common type of diabetes in childhood. CBD can start to play a very important role in this pathology as it has the ability to promote anti-inflammatory metabolic cascades after coupling/binding to its endogenous cannabinoid receptors within our endocannabinoid system.

As a consequence of the presence of CBD, it is suggested that sugar metabolism and the immune system are also affected by its properties. Several doctors and experts have said that unlike insulin therapies and other current diabetes medications, CBD could suppress, reverse and perhaps cure this disease. Moreover, as seen so far after the use of CBD oils, no adverse effects or toxicity levels have been found, which will not affect patients’ daily activities such as working, going to school, playing sports, driving, and that is something that adds a lot of value. CBD on diabetes has a stabilizing effect on glucose levels, contains an anti-inflammatory action, and produces neuroprotective effects.

Although conventional and stereotypical thinking about cannabis users suggested that cannabis can have a negative effect on people’s daily lives, scientific evidence suggests otherwise. In general, cannabis users are associated with a lower risk of diabetes and a lower risk of obesity, one of the main causes of type 1 and 2 diabetes.
