The anti-inflammatory role of curcumin is helpful in this issue as well. Type 2 diabetes in which cells become resistant to insulin activity, is majorly due to the unnecessary inflammation in the body. Hence, the use of curcumin can be of great assistance in managing blood sugar levels.

Thank you for your comment, chef. We appreciate your insight on the potential anti-inflammatory benefits of curcumin in relation to type 2 diabetes management. While the study specifically focused on the effects of turmeric extract as a feed additive on quail performance and egg quality, it is interesting to consider potential human health benefits as well.
