Pomegranate is a rich source of antioxidants, which can help to protect against oxidative stress and inflammation, both of which are associated with an increased risk of diabetes and its complications.

Some studies have suggested that pomegranate may have anti-inflammatory effects, which could be beneficial for people with diabetes, as chronic inflammation is associated with an increased risk of developing diabetes and its complications.

Some studies have suggested that pomegranate may help to improve blood sugar control in people with diabetes. For example, a small study found that drinking pomegranate juice daily for 12 weeks led to a significant reduction in fasting blood sugar levels.

People with diabetes are at increased risk of cardiovascular disease, and pomegranate may help to reduce this risk by improving cholesterol levels and reducing inflammation.

People with diabetes are also at increased risk of kidney disease, and some studies have suggested that pomegranate may help to protect against kidney damage.
