Review finds no proof of diabetes benefit from zinc

A review of randomized clinical trials offers no evidence that zinc supplements can help prevent Type 2 diabetes, however researchers assert that zinc does assist in the production and action of insulin, according to a new report. The authors of the report say that among the 192 clinical trials they analyzed, only one met their content and quality criteria for inclusion in the review and that study showed no effect from zinc on diabetes.
