I was aware of vitamin C and its deficiency causing scurvy.
Probably its antioxidant nature might be responsible for diabetes control.

It’s a blog stating the uses of lemons. It’s not a superfood. The articles holds reference of older articles more than 10 years. According American diabetes Association it’s one of the fruit that helps manage T2DM. Most fruit and vegetable have antioxidant activity that helps manage oxidative stress which is a symptom/ cause in many diseases
