Author(s): AN Reynolds, Tekinkaya H and BJ VennAN Reynolds, Tekinkaya H and BJ Venn
Objective: Treatment of type 2 diabetes includes pharmacologic and lifestyle modification such as dietary change. The use of the Glycemic Index (GI) to guide food choice has been advocated, although the effectiveness of this dietary strategy in people with type 2 diabetes has had mixed success. Our objective was to investigate daylong glycemic responses to diets differing in GI using continuous glucose monitoring in people with type 2 diabetes.
Methods: A randomized crossover trial in 22 adults aged 18 to 75 years diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and without major co-morbidities. Lower and higher GI diets were consumed over a five-day period with food supplied to participants. Diet and physical activity were standardized and medication was maintained for the study period. Main outcomes using a Continuous Glucose Monitoring System (CGMS) were m.. View More»
