Virgin Coconut Oil
because of its high TOCOTRIENOL content treats type 2 diabetic patients. Hyperglycemia is an abnormally high
blood glucose (blood sugar) level. It is a hallmark sign of diabetes (both
type 1 diabetes and type 2 diabetes) and prediabetes.
Coconut oil has been known to clear up and heal
urinary tract infection (UTI) and kidney infections. The Medium Chain Fatty
Acids in the oil work as a natural antibiotic by disrupting the lipid coating
on bacteria and killing them. Research also shows that coconut oil directly
protects the liver from damage.
Coconut water also helps hydrate and support the
healing process. Doctors have even injected coconut water to clear up kidney
stones. Coconut is a powerful superfood, which is evident given all these
tremendous coconut oil benefits.
Abstract
In type 2 diabetics, the progression of atherosclerosis is
more rapid than the general population and 80% of these patients will die of an
atherosclerotic event. Since in these patients hyperglycemia per se confers
increased risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD), the presence of even
borderline-high-risk LDL-C signals the need for more aggressive LDL-lowering
therapy. Most of the lipid lowering agents, currently in use in the treatment
of dyslipidemia in type 2 diabetics, have a host of side effects. In contrast,
dietary tocotrienols are Vitamin E and have effective lipid lowering property
in addition to their potent antioxidant activity. In this study, we have
investigated the therapeutic impacts of tocotrienols on serum and lipoprotein
lipid levels in type 2 diabetic patients. Based on known tocotrienol rich
fraction (TRF)-mediated decrease on elevated blood glucose and glycated
hemoglobin A(1C) (HbA(1C)) in diabetic rats, we have also investigated the
effect of TRF on these parameters. A randomized, double blind,
placebo-controlled design involving 19 type 2 diabetic subjects with
hyperlipidemia was used. After 60 days of TRF treatment, subjects showed an
average decline of 23, 30, and 42% in serum total lipids, TC, and LDL-C,
respectively. The goal in type 2 diabetics is to reduce LDL-C levels < or =
100mg/dl. In the present investigation tocotrienols mediated a reduction of
LDL-C from an average of 179 mg/dl to 104 mg/dl. However, hypoglycemic effect
of TRF was not observed in these patients because they were glycemically stable
and their glucose and HbA(1) levels were close to normal values. In conclusion,
daily intake of dietary TRF by type 2 diabetics will be useful in the
prevention and treatment of hyperlipidemia and atherogenesis.
