There is low to high ( majority moderate ) certainty for small improvements of unclear clinical importance in plasma glucose , triglycerides , and HDL concentrations favoring low-carbohydrate food at half of the prespecified time points .
There was little to no difference in LDL concentration or any of the secondary outcomes ( body weight , waist circumference , blood pressure , quality of life ) in response to either of the diets ( very-low- to high-certainty evidence ) .
Conclusions Currently available data provide low- to moderate-certainty evidence that dietary carbohydrate restriction to a maximum of 40 % yields slightly better metabolic control of uncertain clinical importance than reduction in fat to a maximum of 30 % in people with T2D .
Background It remains uncertain which diet is best for people with type 2 diabetes ( T2D ) .
Objective We compared the effects of dietary carbohydrate restriction with fat restriction on markers of metabolic syndrome and quality of life in people with T2D .
Weight-loss diets modify glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide receptor rs2287019 genotype effects on changes in body weight, fasting glucose, and insulin resistance: the Preventing Overweight Using Novel Dietary Strategies trial.
BACKGROUND Glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide [ also known as gastric inhibitory polypeptide ( GIP ) ] and its receptor ( GIPR ) may link overnutrition to obesity , insulin resistance , and type 2 diabetes . A GIPR variant rs2287019 was recently associated with obesity and glucose metabolism . OBJECTIVE We aim ed to examine whether weight-loss diets that vary in fat content may modify the effect of this variant on changes in body weight , fasting glucose , and insulin resistance in the Preventing Overweight Using Novel Dietary Strategies ( POUNDS LOST ) trial . DESIGN We genotyped the GIPR rs2287019 in 737 overweight adults who were r and omly assigned to 1 of 4 weight-loss diets that varied in macronutrient contents for 2 y. We assessed the percentage changes in body weight , fasting glucose , and insulin resistance ( HOMA-IR ) across genotypes by the low-fat and high-fat diets . RESULTS At 6 mo of diet intervention , the T allele of rs2287019 was associated with greater weight loss ( β ± SE : -1.05 ± 0.56 % ; P = 0.06 ) and greater decreases in fasting glucose ( β ± SE : -2.33 ± 0.86 % ; P = 0.006 ) , fasting insulin ( β ± SE : -8.76 ± 4.13 % ; P = 0.03 ) , and HOMA-IR ( β ± SE : -10.52 ± 4.39 % ; P = 0.01 ) in participants who were assigned to low-fat diets , whereas there was no significant genotype effect on changes in these traits in the group assigned to the high-fat diet ( all P > 0.44 ; P-interaction = 0.08 , 0.04 , 0.10 , and 0.07 , respectively ) . After correction for multiple tests ( significant P = 0.008 ) , the genotype effect on changes in fasting glucose remained significant . Sensitivity analysis in white participants showed that the interactions were more evident on changes in insulin and HOMA-IR ( P-interaction < 0.008 ) . CONCLUSION The T allele of GIPR rs2287019 is associated with greater improvement of glucose homeostasis in individuals who choose a low-fat , high-carbohydrate , and high-fiber diet . The POUNDS LOST trial was registered at clinical trials.gov as NCT00072995
