DCI can help reduce insulin resistance and acts as a secondary messenger in the insulin signaling process. It can increase cellular insulin sensitivity, may reduce serum insulin levels, can reduce raised serum androgens (testosterone) both free and total, may help to reduce glycosylated haemoglobin (HbA1c), may reduce plasma triglyceride levels, LDL cholesterol, and helps to increase HDLs, may reduce raised blood pressure, both systolic and diastolic and contribute to the cellular house cleaning known as autophagy.
