Panax ginseng has no effect on indices of glucose regulation following acute or chronic ingestion in healthy volunteers [PDF]
In the absence of effective pharmacotherapy for diabetes there has been an increase in the use of, and research into, alternative treatment strategies. These include exercise, dietary interventions and the use of supplements including extracts of ginseng.

Identification of Glucagon Secretion Patterns during an Oral Glucose Tolerance Test
Impaired glucagon secretion is a major component of glucose intolerance in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D). Glucagon secretion exhibits heterogenous patterns in individuals and across glucose tolerance diagnoses.
