I want to open up a back and forth, so I'll be quick and to the point: I've used small amounts of marijuana for years to alleviate a lot of the unpleasant immediate effects of high bloodsugar when my bloodsugar goes up. It basically wipes away all the gastrointestinal stuff. If you bloodsugar gets high enough that you have trouble breathing, it's not going relieve that. But it relieves most of the rest of it. I've told a couple endocrinologists about this, and none of them have ever heard the effect. It sort of makes sense when you consider that's why chemo patients use it, but they use much larger amounts. I've occasionally checked to see if there's anything in the medical literature about this, and I've never seen anything but trials on rats injected with CBD, and not from a pain relief end. I suspect research is still at the point where they're trying to see what makes us healthier, rather than what makes us feel less bad when we're unhealthy. But there it is. I've found it of great benefit, and thought you all should know. Type 1 with insulin resistance, reporting in.
