“Type 2 diabetes, a chronic disease, affects about 150 million people world wide.
It is characterized by insulin resistance of peripheral tissues such as liver, skeletal muscle, and fat. Insulin resistance is associated with elevated levels of tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha), which in turn inhibits insulin receptor tyrosine kinase autophosphorylation.
It has been reported that cannabis is used in the treatment of diabetes.
A few reports indicate that smoking cannabis can lower blood glucose in diabetics.
Delta(9)-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) is the primary psychoactive component of cannabis.”
