A study by the University of Naples Federico II (Italy) has shown that by introducing extra virgin olive oil in food, the glymia peak of people with type 1 diabetes is reduced after meals, an effect that was not observed whenHe used butter instead of this product.

As highlighted to Mercacei Angela A. Rivellese, a professor of applied dietary sciences of the Department of Clinical Medicine and Surgery at the Federico II University, extra virgin olive oil is the basic axis of the Mediterranean diet and has already proven to be beneficial for othercardiovascular diseases, blood pressure or fatty liver.

The researcher has specified that this finding comes from the scientific rigor provided by new technologies together with the controlled random design.Thus, in the homes of the patients the tests were carried out by integrated insulin pumps and continuous glucose monitoring, which allowed the immediate translation of the clinical data for the elaboration of the study.

In fact, in patients with type 1 diabetes, the combination of the effects of carbohydrate and fatty foods to measure time and dose of administration of prandial insulin.The limitation of postprandial glucose peaks will not only contribute to the prevention of chronic diabetes complications, but also to the improvement of people's quality of life with this disease, according to Angela A. Riverse.

Likewise, the researcher explained that the beneficial effects of extra virgin olive oil observed in this study could be related, in addition to its monounsaturated fat content, with other bioactive compounds such as polyphenols, substances with high antioxidant power.

“On the other hand, we must not forget that extra virgin olive oil is a fat and, therefore, is rich in calories.Therefore, the amount used, both in people with diabetes and as in the general population, must always be evaluated in total calorie consumption.However, this new information about Aove, in addition to its beneficial health effects, could be one more motivation to boost its consumption worldwide, ”he said.
