Mensen met suikerziekte hebben baat bij een koolhydratenarm-, eiwitrijk-, Mediterraan- of een laag GI-dieet

Research Question:
What food patterns have positive effects on diabetes?

Study Design:
This overview article contained 20 Rcts to August 2011 that lasted at least 6 months and with a total 3460 participants.

Results and conclusions:
The researchers found that a low-carbohydrate diet the HbA1c levels significantly with 12% [p = 0.04] reduced. Significant is, there is a link at a 95% reliability.

The researchers found that a low GI Diet the HbA1c level with 14% [p = 0.008] reduced. Significant because p = 0.008 is smaller than p = 0.05.

The researchers found that a high protein diet the HbA1c levels significantly with 28% [p 0.00001] reduced. Significant is, there can be said with 95% reliability that a high protein diet reduced HbA1c levels really by 28%.

The researchers found that a Mediterranean diet the HbA1c levels significantly with 47% [p 0.00001] reduced.

The researchers found that the carbohydrate poor diet the weight non-significant with 0.69 kg [p = 0.21] reduced. Non-significant is, there is no link to a 95% reliability.

The researchers found that the Mediterranean diet the weight significantly with 1.84 kg [p 0.00001] reduced.

The researchers found that all diets, apart from the protein-rich diet the HDL cholesterol (the good cholesterol) increased.

The researchers concluded that people with diabetes benefited from a low-carbohydrate, high-protein-, Mediterranean or a low GI Diet.

Additional information about El Mondo:
The poor carbohydrate diet generally consists of 20-40% carbohydrates.
The protein-rich diet typically consists of 20-35 And% protein.
The low GI Diet has a GI of 55 or below.
The Mediterranean diet generally consists of lots of fruits, vegetables and grains, moderate fish and alcohol and little dairy and meat. A diet high in fruits, vegetables and grains is a diet with a minimum of 1.5 grams of fiber per 100 kcal.

The HbA1c level is a reflection of the glucose concentration in the blood over the past two to three months. The more sugars in the blood are, the higher the HbA1c level is.

A decrease in HbA1c levels with 1% corresponds to a decrease of 11 mmol/mol.
HbA1c is derived from the blood protein hemoglobin (Hb), Adult (A, adult is English for adult) and 1 c means that hemoglobin is bound to D-glucose (sugar in people's mouth).
The target value at diabetics is 7% or lower, equivalent to 53 mmol/mol or lower.
