According to the network meta- analysis the Mediterranean diet is the most effective and efficacious dietary approach to improve glycaemic control in type 2 diabetes patients
The aim of the present study is to assess the comparative efficacy of different dietary approaches on glycaemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus using a systematic review of the literature .
Effect of wheat bran on glycemic control and risk factors for cardiovascular disease in type 2 diabetes.
OBJECTIVE Cohort studies indicate that cereal fiber reduces the risk of  diabetes and coronary heart disease ( CHD ) . Therefore , we assessed the effect of wheat bran on glycemic control and CHD risk factors in type 2 diabetes . RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS A total of 23 subjects with type 2 diabetes ( 16 men and 7 postmenopausal women ) completed two 3-month phases of a r and omized crossover study . In the test phase , bread and breakfast cereals were provided as products high in cereal fiber ( 19 g/day additional cereal fiber ) . In the control phase , supplements were low in fiber ( 4 g/day additional cereal fiber ) . RESULTS Between the test and control treatments , no differences were seen in body weight , fasting blood glucose , HbA(1c ) , serum lipids , apolipoproteins , blood pressure , serum uric acid , clotting factors , homocysteine , C-reactive protein , magnesium , calcium , iron , or ferritin . LDL oxidation in the test phase was higher than that seen in the control phase ( 12.1 + /- 5.4 % , P < 0.034 ) . Of the subjects originally recruited , more dropped out of the study for health and food preference reasons from the control phase ( 16 subjects ) than the test phase ( 11 subjects ) . CONCLUSIONS High-fiber cereal foods did not improve conventional markers of glycemic control or risk factors for CHD in type 2 diabetes over 3 months . Possibly longer studies are required to demonstrate the benefits of cereal fiber . Alternatively , cereal fiber in the diet may be a marker for another component of whole grains that imparts health advantages or a healthy lifestyle
