16 patients with painful diabetes were prescribed cannabis inhalations at different doses, as well as a placebo. The higher the THC was strong (7% maximum), the less pain the patient felt. Patients also showed a «decrease in performance». In other words, they were high.
The research on this project are not yet over. In particular, we can imagine that with the development of genetic tests, the scientists will focus on patients' genetic capital to target people predisposed to diabetes and hinder its development.

The American Journal of Medicine also reported on’a study in 2013 showing that cannabis smokers were less insulin-resistant and had slimmer waists, in addition to better cholesterol levels, and therefore lower cardiovascular risks.
