The dietary modifications were more effective in reducing both SBP and DBP vs. control diet .
The Low-sodium , High-fiber , DASH , Low-fat , Low-protein and Vegan dietary approach were significantly more effective in reducing SBP compared to a control diet .
The High-fiber , Low-fat , Low-protein and Vegan diet were significantly more effective in reducing DBP .
The Low-sodium and High fiber diets had the greatest lowering effect on SBP and DBP in T2D patients .
CONCLUSIONS Adopting healthful dietary modifications were more effective in reducing both SBP and DBP vs. control .
The High-fiber and Low-sodium diets had the greatest lowering effect on SBP and DBP in T2D
AIMS We aim ed to investigate the effect of different dietary approaches on systolic and diastolic blood pressure ( SBP and DBP )  in Type II diabetes ( T2D ) .
Effects of the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) Eating Plan on Cardiovascular Risks Among Type 2 Diabetic Patients
OBJECTIVE To determine the effects of the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension ( DASH ) eating pattern on cardiometabolic risks in type 2 diabetic patients . RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS A r and omized crossover clinical trial was undertaken in 31 type 2 diabetic patients . For 8 weeks , participants were r and omly assigned to a control diet or the DASH eating pattern . RESULTS After following the DASH eating pattern , body weight ( P = 0.007 ) and waist circumference ( P = 0.002 ) reduced significantly . Fasting blood glucose levels and A1C decreased after adoption of the DASH diet ( −29.4 ± 6.3 mg/dl ; P = 0.04 and −1.7 ± 0.1 % ; P = 0.04 , respectively ) . After the DASH diet , the mean change for HDL cholesterol levels was higher ( 4.3 ± 0.9 mg/dl ; P = 0.001 ) and LDL cholesterol was reduced ( −17.2 ± 3.5 mg/dl ; P = 0.02 ) . Additionally , DASH had beneficial effects on systolic ( −13.6 ± 3.5 vs. −3.1 ± 2.7 mmHg ; P = 0.02 ) and diastolic blood pressure ( −9.5 ± 2.6 vs. −0.7 ± 3.3 mmHg ; P = 0.04 ) . CONCLUSIONS Among diabetic patients , the DASH diet had beneficial effects on cardiometabolic risks
