Inositol for Blood Sugar Regulation

Preliminary evidence 11 studies

Research suggests that myo-inositol may support blood sugar regulation, particularly in the context of gestational diabetes, with one registered multicenter randomized controlled trial protocol (the MYPP trial, 2025) designed to test whether daily myo-inositol supplementation during pregnancy can reduce gestational diabetes risk in women with PCOS — motivated by earlier trials reporting meaningful reductions in gestational diabetes incidence in broader pregnant populations. That said, the MYPP trial has not yet reported results, meaning the direct evidence specific to PCOS remains preliminary and confirmatory data are still pending. It is worth noting that the majority of the studies provided in this evidence set investigate unrelated topics — including COVID-19 metabolism, parasite biology, mosquito physiology, and cancer glycosylation — and do not contribute meaningful evidence regarding inositol and blood sugar regulation. Overall, the available relevant evidence is limited in scope, and stronger conclusions will depend on the completion of well-designed trials like MYPP and broader investigation in diverse populations.
