Several studies demonstrate that blueberries have anti-diabetes effects, improving insulin sensitivity and lowering blood sugar levels.✔ THEY’RE EASY. Improved insulin sensitivity may lower the risk of metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes, which are associated with a range of negative health outcomes ( 36). In a study in 32 obese people with insulin resistance, two blueberry smoothies daily caused major improvements in insulin sensitivity ( 35). These anti-diabetes effects have been observed with both fresh and freeze-dried berries ( 32, 33, 34). Research suggests that anthocyanins in blueberries have beneficial effects on insulin sensitivity and glucose metabolism. However, the bioactive compounds in blueberries appear to outweigh any negative impact of the sugar when it comes to managing blood sugar.
