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 .
Prospective comparison of modified fat-high-carbohydrate with standard low-carbohydrate dietary advice in the treatment of diabetes: one year follow-up study.
1 . A prospect i ve r and omized study of two dietary regimens has been started in newly-diagnosed diabetics to determine their effect on circulating metabolites and on diabetic complications . 2 . During the first year of treatment the fasting plasma glucose concentrations on both the low-carbohydrate diet and the high-carbohydrate , modified-fat ( MF ) diet showed a similar decrease . 3 . Plasma cholesterol showed a sustained decrease only in patients recommended a MF diet . Transient changes in plasma triglyceride concentrations occurred in patients on both dietary regimens . 4 . Increased plasma cholesterol levels are associated with atheromatous disease which is common in diabetics in Europe and North America . A MF diet may therefore have an advantage in that it lowers the plasma cholesterol as well as being effective in lowering the plasma glucose
