The beneficial short‐term effects of a high‐protein/low‐carbohydrate diet on glycaemic control assessed by continuous glucose monitoring in patients with type 1 diabetes
Compared with REF and MED, an HPD plan may have a positive impact on glycaemic control in patients with T1D. During the HPD, patients spent a shorter time in hypoglycaemia and exhibited lower glycaemic variability (Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism)
The relationship between gut microbiota, short-chain fatty acids and type 2 diabetes mellitus: the possible role of dietary fibre
increasing daily fibre intake in the context of a healthy dietary pattern might be a valid tool to improve microbiota composition and activity to prevent metabolic diseases (Acta Diabetologica)
Modeling Carbohydrate Counting Error in Type 1 Diabetes Management
The most important predictors of CHO counting errors are CHO and meal type. The mathematical models proposed improve the description of patients’ behavior in the T1D patient decision simulator (Diabetes Technology and Therapeutics)
Dietary strategies to manage diabetes and glycemic control in youth and young adults with youth‐onset type 1 and type 2 diabetes
For several dietary strategies, more frequent use over time was related to lower A1c in youth‐onset type 1 and type 2 diabetes, suggesting these strategies can likely support diabetes management for this population (Pediatric Diabetes)
Limited Evidence for the Health Effects and Safety of Intermittent Fasting Among Patients With Type 2 Diabetes
The value of intermittent fasting compared with other dietary regimens is unclear given the potentially higher risk of adverse events during intermittent fasting, whereas the best, but limited, evidence suggests that the efficacy of intermittent fasting was only noninferior to caloric restriction for hemoglobin A1c improvement and weight loss (JAMA)
Effects of Intermittent Fasting on Health, Aging, and Disease
Preclinical studies and clinical trials have shown that intermittent fasting has broad-spectrum benefits for many health conditions, such as obesity, diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular disease, cancers, and neurologic disorders (NEJM)
Behaviour change, weight loss and remission of Type 2 diabetes: a community‐based prospective cohort study
In a population‐based sample of adults with screen‐detected Type 2 diabetes, weight loss of ≥10% early in the disease trajectory was associated with a doubling of the likelihood of remission at 5 years (Diabetic Medicine)
Role of diet in type 2 diabetes incidence: umbrella review of meta-analyses of prospective observational studies
Overall, the association between dietary factors and type 2 diabetes has been extensively studied, but few of the associations were graded as high quality of evidence. Further factors are likely to be important in type 2 diabetes prevention; thus, more well conducted research, with more detailed assessment of diet, is needed (BMJ)
Dietary fats and mortality among patients with type 2 diabetes: analysis in two population based cohort studies
In patients with type 2 diabetes, higher intake of PUFAs, in comparison with carbohydrates or saturated fatty acids, is associated with lower total mortality and cardiovascular disease mortality. These findings highlight the important role of quality of dietary fat in the prevention of cardiovascular disease and total mortality among adults with type 2 diabetes (BMJ)
Dietary carbohydrate restriction improves metabolic syndrome independent of weight loss
Consistent with the perspective that MetS is a pathologic state that manifests as dietary carbohydrate intolerance, these results show that compared with eucaloric high-carbohydrate intake, LC/high-fat diets benefit MetS independent of whole-body or fat mass (JCI Insight – American Society for Clinical Investigation)
Low versus high carbohydrate diet in type 1 diabetes: A 12‐week randomized open‐label crossover study
Compared with an intake of 250 g of carbohydrate per day, restriction of carbohydrate intake to 100 g per day in adults with type 1 diabetes reduced time spent in hypoglycaemia, glycaemic variability and weight with no effect on cardiovascular risk factors (Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism)
Variation of carbohydrate intake in diabetic children on carbohydrate counting
Children varied their CI significantly from one meal to another more than one in three times. CC offers flexibility and a better quality of life for children using this method (Diabetes Research and Clinical Practice)
Carbohydrate restriction for glycaemic control in Type 2 diabetes: a systematic review and meta‐analysis
There was no overall pooled effect on HbA1c in favour of restricting carbohydrate; however, restriction of carbohydrate to 50–130 g per day had beneficial effects on HbA1c in trials up to 6 months (Diabetic Medicine)
Ascorbic acid supplementation improves postprandial glycaemic control and blood pressure in people with type 2 diabetes: Findings of a randomized cross‐over trial
People with type 2 diabetes experienced improved postprandial and 24 h glycaemia and decreased blood pressure after 4 months of AA supplementation when compared to placebo. These findings offer evidence for the proposed use of AA as an adjunct therapy to improve glycaemic and blood pressure control in people with type 2 diabetes (Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism)
Fat Versus Carbohydrate-Based Energy-Restricted Diets for Weight Loss in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes
A diet with an optimal macronutrient composition remains uncertain for patients with combined T2D and obesity. Further research is still needed to define the best dietary composition that achieves the maximum benefits on weight management, glycemic control, and cardiovascular risk factors (Current Diabetes Reports)
Bidirectional Relationship between Gastric Emptying and Plasma Glucose Control in Normoglycemic Individuals and Diabetic Patients
In the foreseeable future, we will probably witness a wider range of dietary interventions and more incretin-based medications used for restoring both gastric emptying and glycemic levels to nearly physiological levels (Journal of Diabetes Research)
Association between maternal gluten intake and type 1 diabetes in offspring: national prospective cohort study in Denmark
High gluten intake by mothers during pregnancy could increase the risk of their children developing type 1 diabetes. However, confirmation of these findings are warranted, preferably in an intervention setting (BMJ)
Diabetes and Diet: A Patient and Dietitian’s Perspective
This article has been co-authored by a patient with type 2 diabetes and a specialist dietitian. Here they discuss the patient’s experience and difficulties with controlling weight and strategies that can help a patient in this situation (Diabetes Therapy)
Effects of n−3 Fatty Acid Supplements in Diabetes Mellitus
Among patients with diabetes without evidence of cardiovascular disease, there was no significant difference in the risk of serious vascular events between those who were assigned to receive n−3 fatty acid supplementation and those who were assigned to receive placebo (NEJM)
