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 effects of the dietary glycemic load on type 2 diabetes risk factors during weight loss.
OBJECTIVE To compare the effects of two calorie-restricted diets that differ in glycemic load ( GL ) on glucose tolerance and inflammation . RESEARCH METHODS AND PROCEDURES Thirty-four healthy overweight adults , ages 24 to 42 years , were r and omized to 30 % provided calorie-restricted diets with high ( HG ) or low ( LG ) glycemic load for 6 months . Outcomes were changes in glucose-insulin dynamics and C-reactive protein ( CRP ) levels . RESULTS Compared with baseline , levels of fasting insulin , homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance , post-load insulin at 30 minutes , and incremental area-under-the-curve-insulin during the oral glucose tolerance test were significantly lower in both groups at 6 months ( p range , 0.01 to 0.05 ) , but after adjustment for baseline values and weight change , there were no differences between the two groups with regard to changes over time in any parameter . The mean percentage change in insulin sensitivity by a frequently sample d intravenous glucose tolerance test was + 26 % in the HG group and + 24 % in the LG group ( p = 0.83 ) ; first-phase acute insulin release was -20 % in the HG group and -21 % in the LG group ( p = 0.77 ) . More participants on the LG diet ( 14 of 16 subjects ) had a decline in serum CRP , compared with those on the HG diet ( 7 of 16 subjects ) ( p < 0.05 ) . DISCUSSION In healthy overweight adults provided with food for 6 months , the dietary GL did not seem to influence chronic adaptations in glucose-insulin dynamics above that associated with weight loss . This finding highlights the importance of absolute weight loss over the dietary macronutrient composition used to achieve weight loss . The finding of greater declines in CRP concentration after consumption of a low-GL diet warrants further investigation
