Type a pair of diabetic mellitus could be a predominant upset that contains a direct impact on human health. Though scientific information area unit deficit, coconut carbohydrate has been instructed as a higher various for cane sugar by some people. This study was conducted to assess the credibleness of this claim. Coconut carbohydrate was ready at Coconut analysis Institute, Sri Lanka and biological process composition of coconut carbohydrate was compared with cane sugar exploitation normal ways protein and fibre contents were determined in coconut carbohydrate compared to cane sugar. The whole starch and total sugar content of the coconut carbohydrate was considerably below that of the cane sugar. cardinal patients (Male: sixteen, Female: a pair of7) with kind polygenic disease from the medicine unit, National Hospital capital of Sri Lanka, Sri Lanka were voluntarily engaged within the study, subjected to associate degree initial health screening.

Then, determination of postprandial blood sugar responses once intake of the quality (glucose), cane sugar and coconut carbohydrate. Average age of the chosen cluster was years and that they were all overweight. The mean abstinence blood sugar level and HbA1c of the themes were severally. There was no important distinction in peak blood sugar concentrations or progressive space below the curve in blood sugar response of 2 take a look at food. Therefore, coconut carbohydrate cannot be thought of as a healthy substitute for cane sugar in kind a pair of diabetic patients.
