Hi,
Thanks for asking.
Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.
1. Yes, studies have shown conjugated linoleic acid to reduce blood sugar levels. Vegetable oils and dairy products are rich in conjugated linoleic acid.
2. It only does in impaired glucose tolerance. It is known to improve insulin sensitivity.
3. Additionally diet modification, moderate exercises and weight reduction is essential.
Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
