Among them, ginger (Zingiber officinale) stands out, which has been used both as a spice, especially in cooking, for its spicy acid flavor and unique aroma, and as herbal medicine in the treatment of arthritis, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, primary dysmenorrhea, seasickness and oncological therapies 3. Given the above, experts have highlighted the antidiabetic properties of food supplements traditionally used in different cultures around the planet. With this in mind, a number of research studies have been developed in an attempt to incorporate strategies that can minimize the lack of medication adherence and improve glycemic control.
