Resveratrol’s Potential in Glucose Control

Resveratrol was associated with significant improvements in fasting glucose, insulin and A1C levels in patients with diabetes, according to a meta-analysis. However, researchers did not observe the same benefits in those who did not have diabetes. From eleven studies with a total of 388 subjects researchers concluded that resveratrol significantly improves glucose control and insulin sensitivity in persons with diabetes but does not affect glycemic measures in nondiabetic persons.
