Great question! CBD oil has shown some promise for nerve pain (neuropathy), which affects up to 30% of people with diabetes. Some people report less pain and better sleep when using cannabis-based products for nerve pain. When it comes to blood sugar, some animal studies suggest CBD may help improve blood sugar control at low to moderate doses. However, results in humans are mixed — some studies show benefits, while others don't find the same effects. There are also some important risks to be aware of:
- CBD is processed in the liver, where many diabetes medications are also broken down — this can cause interactions
- Cannabis use may increase the risk of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA)
- The American Diabetes Association warns against recreational cannabis use for people with diabetes
- Smoking cannabis can harm blood vessels, which may actually worsen neuropathy over time The research is still limited, and larger long-term studies are needed. It's really worth having an open conversation with your doctor before trying CBD oil, especially to make sure it won't interfere with any medications you're already taking.

I have used it in the past. And I have also did the gummies. They improved my sleep quality
