Turmeric compound may protect blood vessels from diabetes damage

A compound found in turmeric may help protect blood vessels from some of the damage caused by Type 1 diabetes.

The results hint at a possible new way to reduce the long-term cardiovascular risks of diabetes, but human trials are still needed.
