Does turmeric effect blood sugar ?

Lowers blood sugar: Studies show that turmeric lowers blood sugar and improves insulin sensitivity. It may help prevent diabetes and appears to have many benefits for those who have diabetes See http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/mnfr.201200131/abstract and http://tinyurl.com/powk5k8 Some forms of turmeric extracts are much better absorbed than others. I recommend a product called Meriva.
