<p style="color:rgb(68,68,68);font-family:helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">Tetrahydrocannabivarin (THCV) is just one of over 60 chemicals found in cannabis, but its unique activity has led GW Pharmaceuticals to believe that THCV could be the future of diabetes therapy.

<p style="color:rgb(68,68,68);font-family:helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">On Friday, the company who also manufacturers the cannabis spray Sativex toldBloombergabout their new drug, which showed promising results in a mid-stage clinical study, helping improve insulin production and lowering blood sugar levels, among other things, in patients with Type 2 diabetes.

At least 50% of these cells are lost by the time Type 2 diabetes is diagnosed.

I've noticed a drop of 50 points when I use bho (1/3 gram) but it is inconsistent. I have to get the strains tested for THCV
