CLA and Diabetes

CLA is functionally similar to certain insulin sensitizers. This fact offers the possibility that CLA could be helpful in treating or preventing diabetes. Researchers discovered that CLA normalized impaired Glucose function and reduced hyperinsulinemia in diabetic rats. In a separate study conducted at Purdue University, CLA was found to improve insulin levels in about two-thirds of diabetic patients, and moderately reduced the blood glucose level and triglyceride levels. Diabetics who supplemented their diet with CLA had lower body mass and lower blood sugar levels when compared to the control group. The next post on CLA will be the last of this series and I will reccomend a product to take if you are interested in trying CLA in your daily regimen.
