In 2013,  the results of a five-year study into the effects of cannabis on fasting  insulin and insulin resistance were published in the American Journal  of Medicine.\nThe researchers found that current users of cannabis had \n16% lower fasting insulin levels than respondents who had never used cannabis, and\n17% lower levels of insulin resistance and higher levels of HDL. \nRespondents  who had used cannabis in their lifetime but were not current users  showed similar but less pronounced associations, indicating that the  protective effect of cannabis fades with time.\nThe  researchers also ran analyses on the data that excluded individuals  diagnosed with diabetes. Even after excluding diabetics, current  cannabis users were found to exhibit reduced fasting insulin and insulin  resistance levels, indicating that cannabis can help prevent the  occurrence of diabetes as well as alleviate symptoms in diagnosed cases.\nhttps://www.amjmed.com/article/S0002-9343(13)00200-3/fulltext\n\ndrkim\n_____________________\nThere have also been a few preclinical studies showing promising results, which may help explain the above results.\nhttps://www.projectcbd.org/diabetes.\n\"We now report that CBD treatment significantly reduces the incidence of  diabetes...from an incidence of 86% in non-treated-control mice to an incidence of 30% in CBD-treated mice...possibly through an immunomodulatory mechanism\"\nhttps://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16698671\n\nResearches  conducting a similar study found that only 32% of CBD-treated mice in the early stages of diabetes progressed to overt diabetes, whereas 100%  of the non-CBD-treated mice did progress to overt diabetes.

Nevertheless, cannabis has been reported as helpful for patients experiencing diabetes complications like peripheral neuropathy, and may have some other specific benefits for patients with diabetes.

Fortunately, cannabis is known to help with chronic pain and there are many different methods of consumption that you may try, and many that do not produce a psychoactive high. I am not a doctor, but I can tell you what other children of elderly parents have told me as well as what seniors have directly communicated about their experience.\n\nif your father is not a cannabis consumer I would start with non psychoactive products. I am not against THC, as it is a powerful pain reliever, but CBD may help on its own and it is non psychoactive. \n\nAn 81 year old that had intense chronic pain for years recently told me high CBD cookies stopped his pain in its tracks. @moonmans has a high CBD cookie you can purchase in California. Another form of cannabis to try is the transdermal patch. They can be a ratio of CBD to THC such as 1:1 and be quite effective as well. There are many products on the market for this as well. \n\npamelahadfield\n_____________________\nContinuing my answer... transdermal patches are time released. The other product you may wish to try would be a cannabis topical which provides localized relief. \n\nIf your father is willing to try THC/CBD for pain, vaping flower or oil cartridges can be highly effective for pain and provide immediate relief. I would start low and slow with anything that has THC. I find high CBD ratios such as ACDC or Canna Tsu can give me immediate relief. I hope this helps!\n\npamelahadfield\n_____________________\nWe just published a roundup of the top Q&As on chronic pain--2 of which talk specifically to back pain. Answers were given by a brand expert as well as 2 doctors, including our very own chief medical officer. According to Dr. Frye, \"A variety with a 1:1 ratio of THC:CBD maximizes the analgesic, muscle-relaxing, and anti-inflammatory activity, reduces anxiety, and elevates the mood. Patients who use this ratio remain clear minded, focused, and productive without feeling high or stoned. Topical cannabis salves and lotions are also very effective in reducing or eliminating pain.\" Hope this helps!\n\nlyp\n_____________________\nCBD is the right word for your father's issue.

I've had very good results using CBD. The dose is variable depending on the individual unrelated to their size. CBD has been shown to modulate our opioid and other pain receptors to reduce pain directly and make other pain medications more effective as much as 75%. For arthritis 60mg of CBD have been available for most patients in controlling arthritis of all types. Similarly, neuropathy has improved and in some cases of diabetic neuropathy there has been a return of feeling. In diabetes a decrease in BS of 30 points is not unusual but more importantly perhaps is the protection CBD offers against eye, kidney and nerve damage so common in diabetes. Drastic restriction of carbohydrates in the diet will control most cases of T2DM and reverse in some.\n\ndrblair\n_____________________\nCannabidiol is only one molecule out of over 420 cannabinoids found within cannabis. Focusing on just the one molecule for all of these ailments may not be as beneficial as using whole plant, raw cannabis. CBD is popular because it is non-psychoactive. It doesn't get you \"high\" and it's safe for kids and pets. The same goes for acidic cannabinoids found in whole plant cannabis. \r\n\r\nEva makes a great line of products called the \"better supplements\" that would be suitable for your pain, diabetes, and arthritis. \r\n\r\nBetterRelief contains non-psychoactive whole plant cannabis, turmeric, and ginger.
