COQ10 SUPPLEMENTATION SUPPORTS HEALTHY GLYCEMIC CONTROL AND CHOLESTEROL LEVELS IN TYPE 2 DIABETICS
A clinical trial of adult type 2 diabetics found improved glycemic control and lower cholesterol levels among diabetics given Coenzyme Q10.
The blood glucose fluctuations that occur in diabetics increase potential free radical damage, which in turn may worsen diabetic complications. Since diabetics are often low in CoEnzyme Q10 levels, the research suggests that supplementation may help restore normal antioxidant defenses and protect pancreatic beta cells from excessive oxidative damage.
