The flavonoids in dark chocolate help to enhance glucose balance, inflammatory indicators, and insulin sensitivity, all of which are factors that significantly increase the risk of developing diabetes. Compared to those who don't eat it, those who consume dark chocolate can reduce their risk of developing diabetes.
