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 .
The effect of a high-egg diet on cardiovascular risk factors in people with type 2 diabetes: the Diabetes and Egg (DIABEGG) study-a 3-mo randomized controlled trial.
BACKGROUND Previously published research that examined the effects of high egg consumption in people with type 2 diabetes ( T2D ) produced conflicting results leading to recommendations to limit egg intake . However , people with T2D may benefit from egg consumption because eggs are a nutritious and convenient way of improving protein and micronutrient contents of the diet , which have importance for satiety and weight management . OBJECTIVE In this r and omized controlled study , we aim ed to determine whether a high-egg diet ( 2 eggs/d for 6 d/wk ) compared with a low-egg diet ( < 2 eggs/wk ) affected circulating lipid profiles , in particular high-density lipoprotein ( HDL ) cholesterol , in overweight or obese people with prediabetes or T2D . DESIGN A total of 140 participants were r and omly assigned to one of the 2 diets as part of a 3-mo weight maintenance study . Participants attended the clinic monthly and were instructed on the specific types of foods and quantities to be consumed . RESULTS There was no significant difference in the change in HDL cholesterol from screening to 3 mo between groups ; the mean difference ( 95 % CI ) between high- and low-egg groups was + 0.02 mmol/L ( -0.03 , 0.08 mmol/L ; P = 0.38 ) . No between-group differences were shown for total cholesterol , low-density lipoprotein cholesterol , triglycerides , or glycemic control . Both groups were matched for protein intake , but the high-egg group reported less hunger and greater satiety postbreakfast . Polyunsaturated fatty acid ( PUFA ) and monounsaturated fatty acid ( MUFA ) intakes significantly increased from baseline in both groups . CONCLUSIONS High egg consumption did not have an adverse effect on the lipid profile of people with T2D in the context of increased MUFA and PUFA consumption . This study suggests that a high-egg diet can be included safely as part of the dietary management of T2D , and it may provide greater satiety . This trial was registered at the Australia New Zeal and Clinical Trials Registry ( http://www.anzctr.org.au/ ) as ACTRN12612001266853
