[ssba-buttons] [/sidebar] [sidebar-content]- This review gathers the available existing evidence on the use of recreational cannabis and its impact on people with type 1 and 2 diabetes. However, the evidence base on this subject is severely limited by lack of both quantity and quality thus further research into the subject is warranted.
- There are very few studies examining the direct effect of cannabis in people with diabetes
- From available evidence, people with diabetes should be cautioned to carefully consider the use of recreational cannabis
- Cannabis use may affect self-management of glucose levels in people with type 1 diabetes
- Cannabis use may increase the risk of cardiovascular complications and kidney disease in people with type 2 diabetes
