None of the studies found a significant effect of pomegranate supplementation on blood glucose. Additional pooled analysis of all 16 trials together had a similar finding – that taking pomegranate supplements did not significantly lower blood sugar levels, insulin concentrations, or insulin sensitivity.
Overall, current research indicates that daily pomegranate supplements are not an effective treatment for blood glucose and insulin management.
It maybe worth a try but I very much doubt that a single supplement (natural or not) can 'cure' diabetic.
It comes down to the basic of diet (low carb, high protein, lots of vegetables/fruits), exercise and weight control.
For me personally 1001mcg of Chromium in the morning really helps.
I never ate candy or even drank soda and diabetes does not run in my family. I did do a lot of steroids for a couple decades and it is believed that is what gave me diabetes. A little over a year ago I read an article that chromium helps with diabetes caused by steroids. So I gave it a try and for me it works great.
I call BS on this one, sorry. Just look at the source. It's the equivalent of the National Enquirer but from the UK.
Pomegranate is a fruit, it contains fructose, it WILL raise blood sugar, NOT lower it. Simple as that.
Starting with these statements, you can tell that whoever wrote the article doesn't really know about diabetes.

Fortunately, you can enhance your supply of insulin - and subsequently regulate blood sugar - by making healthy lifestyle decisions.
One promising intervention is to drink pomegranate juice.
A study published in the Current Developments in Nutrition journal examined the impact of consuming a single dose of eight-ounce pomegranate juice on blood sugar levels.
Most T2 diabetics make too much insulin as it is, they don't need more, they need to utilize what they make better.
