a metabolic disorder characterized by chronic elevated blood glucose. type 2 diabetes results from insulin resistance — cells fail to respond to insulin, disrupting glucose uptake from the bloodstream

many species produce hypoglycemic compounds. flavonoids, jambosine, quercetin, and chlorogenic acid improve insulin sensitivity, stimulate pancreatic beta-cell function, or slow carbohydrate absorption in the gut

dietary management through vegetables, fruit, and herbs with low glycemic impact reduces disease progression. fiber-rich foods slow glucose absorption. anti-inflammatory compounds address the chronic inflammation that accompanies insulin resistance
