Diabetes mellitus is a chronic condition in which the body does not produce or does not use insulin effectively. Treatment for patients with type 2 diabetes includes diet, exercise, and drug therapy. Cranberry fruit juice is recommended by both grandmothers and health care professionals for individuals with urinary tract infections, with research supporting folk uses. A recent study included 13 people with type 2 diabetes to determine whether low-sugar dried cranberries would provide healthier glycemic and insulin responses.
