In recent years, scientific studies have shown that certain natural foods can help prevent diabetes, including mushrooms.

Diabetes, especially type 2 diabetes, is now becoming one of the most common and worrying chronic diseases worldwide. Controlling blood sugar levels is an important factor in treating and preventing diabetes. In recent years, scientific studies have shown that some natural foods can help prevent diabetes. Among them, the mushroom - a famous medicinal mushroom - has been widely studied for its effects in supporting diabetes treatment.

Mushrooms contain many important biological compounds such as polysaccharides, triterpenoids, and phenolic compounds, which have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. According to a study published in the Journal of Ethnopharmacology, polysaccharides in mushrooms have the ability to improve the pancreas' ability to secrete insulin and help regulate blood sugar levels. These compounds can stimulate pancreatic beta cells, helping to increase insulin production, while reducing insulin resistance - one of the main causes of type 2 diabetes.

Mushrooms also help lower blood sugar levels. A study published in Food and Chemical Toxicology found that mushrooms inhibit this enzyme, thereby reducing the absorption of sugar from the intestines, helping to prevent blood sugar spikes after eating.

In addition, mushrooms have anti-inflammatory properties, which are extremely important in preventing and treating diabetes. According to the World Health Organization, chronic inflammation in the body is a risk factor for increased insulin resistance and contributes to the development of type 2 diabetes. Anti-inflammatory compounds found in mushrooms help reduce inflammation, thereby supporting blood sugar control and preventing diabetic complications.

In addition to their direct effects on blood sugar levels, mushrooms have also been shown to have cardioprotective effects, which is important because diabetes can damage blood vessels and the heart. Mushrooms help lower cholesterol levels and improve heart health, thereby helping to prevent complications of diabetes.

Thanks to its bioactive compounds, mushrooms have a positive effect in preventing and supporting the treatment of diabetes. However, although studies have shown the effects of mushrooms in regulating blood sugar and reducing insulin resistance, large-scale clinical trials are still needed to confirm the effectiveness and safety of this mushroom in the treatment of diabetes.
