Those who are diabetic are often also being treated for cardiovascular disease. The uncontrolled blood sugar is often due to reduced insulin sensitivity.

Sixty four diabetics were given either 2 grams of ginger or placebo. They measured various blood markers before and after and took into account dietary habits.
They found that those taking the ginger had improved insulin sensitivity and lower LDL cholesterol.
