In diabetes, both the metabolism of sugars and fats are impaired.
Diabetics have problems digesting fats; thus, indigestion and stomach pain are common symptoms. Peppermint may help diabetics because it improves the flow of bile — especially when fatty meals are eaten — and therefore aids digestion.
