I am a type 2 diabetic and take metaformin for diabetes i have heard eating curry paste can give you hypoglycemia. what is that?

Great question: As a foodie, one must understand that curry is a mixture of many different spices including tumeric (orange color) and sometimes cinnamon. Chinese and ayurvedic medicine have used turmeric for centuries for treatment of inflammatory conditions. While turmeric does not have any effect on sugar, cinnamon does. So, curry is a mixed bag on sugar control - literally.
