The in vitro effects of Cannabidiol on high glucose levels with miRNA profiling

The South African healthcare system is increasingly burdened with cases of non-communicable diseases. Thus, it is essential to identify innovative methods to treat or prevent DM and related illnesses. CBD has been illegal in most countries for many years, therefore very little research has been conducted on the compound in relation to human health. CBD has recently become legal in South Africa and many South Africans currently use CBD in various formulations, including oils, creams, tinctures, and edible items, for many different reasons. Therefore, further research should be conducted in order to understand the compound and its functions in the human body. CBD displays many promising effects, such as anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, exerts minimal psychoactive effects, and is not addictive. As such, CBD may provide a promising alternative therapeutic option and may be useful in treating type 2 DM.
