Caiapo has beneficial effects on the plasma glucose and cholesterol levels of patients with type 2 diabetes.
That, according to the results of a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial published in the February issue of Diabetes Care. Caiapo is a nutraceutical made from the extract of a variety of white sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas) that has been eaten raw in Japan for treatment of anemia, hypertension, and diabetes.
Patients took Caiapo orally once daily, in the morning before breakfast.
"This study confirms the beneficial effects of Caiapo on fasting and postprandial plasma glucose levels, as well as on cholesterol, in patients with type 2 diabetes," they write. "For the first time, we demonstrated the long-term efficacy of Caiapo on glucose control by the observed reduction of HbA1c." Diabetes Care. 2004;27:436-440
