I am not aware: Of any pros or cons to coconut oil. Remember, one problem in diabetes is blood flow and premature atherosclerosis. That's why blood pressure control and meds for cholesterol are important. Infection prevention is also key, especially keeping a close eye on the feet. Coconut oil does not improve blood flow or prevent infection to my knowledge, but doesn't make either worse either. Gd luck.
