51yrs of T1 & have never avoided it. I would say its ok but I am not a Dr.

I would think not as I use ginger in my cooking and my husband is diabetic. Ginger is good for combating inflammation, so I should think it could help diabetics as well, but like all good things - in moderation is the way to go, I feel.

Those who took the ginger capsules saw a significant decrease in blood sugar after 8 weeks. ... According to the American Diabetes Association, fasting blood sugar levels for people with diabetes should range between 70 and 130 mg/dl. Researchers aren't exactly sure how ginger works to lower blood sugar.

Ginger can be an effective addition to your diabetes treatment if you use it in moderation. Eating up to 4 grams per day may help lower your blood sugar levels and regulate insulin production.
