Conclusions /interpretationPooled analyses demonstrated that pulses , alone or in low-GI or high-fibre diets , improve markers of longer term glycaemic control in humans , with the extent of the improvements subject to significant inter- study heterogeneity .
Aims /hypothesisDietary non-oil-seed pulses ( chickpeas , beans , peas , lentils , etc . )
are a good source of slowly digestible carbohydrate , fibre and vegetable protein and a valuable means of lowering the glycaemic-index ( GI ) of the diet .
To assess the evidence that dietary pulses may benefit glycaemic control , we conducted a systematic review and meta- analysis of r and omised controlled experimental trials investigating the effect of pulses , alone or as part of low-GI or high-fibre diets , on markers of glycaemic control in people with and without diabetes .
Effect of long-term intake of Asian food with different glycemic indices on diabetic control and protein conservation in type 2 diabetic patients.
The study was carried out in 10 females with type 2 diabetes aged 32 - 60 yrs . All of them were receiving weight-maintaining diets composed of 12 per cent protein , 30 per cent fat and 58 per cent carbohydrate . The only difference among all study -diets was the types of complex carbohydrate used . High-glycemic diet ( HG ) or low glycemic diet ( LG ) consisted mainly of glutinous rice or mungbean noodles and the intermediate-glycemic diet ( DM ) was solely white rice . After the metabolic evaluation of the baseline diet ( BL ) , each subject was placed on DM and followed r and omly by HG and LG or vice versa for 4 weeks each . The diurnal plasma glucose levels tended to be lowest after LG . The integrated plasma glucose levels among all diets were not different . The integrated insulin levels after DM and LG did not differ but they were lower than HG and BL . Long-term ingestion of all test-diets spilt less urinary glucose than BL , the lowest was LG . HbA1 levels and nitrogen balance after all diets were better than BL , the best was LG . It was concluded that in addition to strict dietary control , ingestion of mungbean noodles ( a low glycemic diet ) without increasing fiber intake , can improve diabetic control and protein conservation in type 2 diabetes
