Type 2 diabetes is a growing global crisis. In 2017, about 462 million people, or 6.28% of the world’s population, lived with the condition, and forecasts suggest this will rise to 7% by 2030.

 

By 2024, the World Health Organization reported that more than 800 million people had diabetes, with 95% of cases being type 2. The disease not only raises the risk of heart problems, vision loss and kidney damage but is also projected to cost over $1 trillion a year worldwide by the end of the decade.

 

Excess weight is common among people with prediabetes and type 2 diabetes, and weight reduction can help control symptoms or even push the condition into remission. This makes weight management an urgent focus for researchers seeking to ease both the medical and economic burden.

 

A review of 20 randomised controlled trials, published in Nutrition & Diabetes, suggests turmeric and its active compound curcumin may play a role. The findings showed improvements in several measures linked to obesity, pointing to turmeric or curcumin supplements as a possible aid for people with prediabetes or type 2 diabetes who are trying to lose weight.

Conclusions 

 

"In summary, our systematic review and dose-response meta-analysis revealed supplementation with turmeric/curcumin significantly diminished BW, WC, FM%, and HC in patients with T2DM. Furthermore, an advantageous effect of turmeric/curcumin consumption was observed in BW and WC among individuals with prediabetes."

I don't  agree with you "studies".

They are no reliable sources at all sponsored by "nutrition/weight loss" interests.

Here you'll find how to set up reliable studies and also to be cautious with Curcuma intake.

Abstract 

 

"Relevant records published between 1 January 1990 and 1 June 2024 were identified through searches of PubMed, the Cochrane Library, Web of Science, Scopus, and Google Scholar, and twenty randomized controlled trials (RCTs) were ultimately included in the meta-analysis."
