Jul 30th, 2014 - Tree nut consumption has been associated with reduced diabetes risk, however, results from randomized trials on glycemic control have been inconsistent. To provide better evidence for diabetes guidelines development, we conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials to assess the effects of tree nuts on mar...

Feb 5th, 2019 - Observational evidence suggests higher nut consumption is associated with better glycemic control; however, it is unclear if this association is causal. We aimed to conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials to examine the effect of tree nuts and peanuts on markers of glycemic control in adults. A systema...

Oct 26th, 2012 - Insulin therapy is required for survival by all individuals with type 1 diabetes mellitus. It is also used to improve glycemic control in some individuals with longstanding type 2 diabetes mellitus who are not profoundly insulin deficient, and may be preferred over other antidiabetic medications for this purpose. As the number of patients with diabetes continu...

MONTREAL — A diet rich in pulses and nuts can improve glycemic control in type 2 diabetes patients to within ranges seen with pharmaceutical intervention, researchers reported at the World Diabetes Congress. A meta-analysis of 41 trials of pulses, either alone or combined with low glycemic or high fiber diets, noted improved markers of long-term glyc.

Jul 12th, 2011 - July 13, 2011 — Mixed nuts may be a good replacement for some carbohydrates in the diabetic diet, according to the results of a randomized controlled trial reported online June 29 in Diabetes Care. "Fat intake, especially monounsaturated fatty acid (MUFA), has been liberalized in diabetic diets to preserve HDL [high-density lipoprotein] cholesterol and improve glycemic...

Jun 5th, 2014 - Nuts are rich in many bioactive compounds that can exert beneficial effects on cardiovascular health. We reviewed the evidence relating nut consumption and the metabolic syndrome (MetS) and its components. Nuts reduce the postprandial glycemic response; however, long-term trials of nuts on insulin resistance and glycemic control in diabetic individuals ...

MONTREAL — A diet rich in pulses and nuts can improve glycemic control in type 2 diabetes patients to within ranges seen with pharmaceutical intervention, researchers reported at the World Diabetes Congress. A meta-analysis of 41 trials of pulses, either alone or combined with low-glycemic or high-fiber diets, noted improved markers of long-term glyc.

Sep 4th, 2018 - Resveratrol is a naturally occurring polyphenol that can be found in several human dietary sources, including red wine; many plants, especially grapes, berries, and nuts; and nutritional supplements. Findings from numerous preclinical experiments and clinical trials in humans suggest that resveratrol may play an important role in managing or preventing a variety of diseases. Some of the ...

Jun 30th, 2011 - Fat intake, especially monounsaturated fatty acid (MUFA), has been liberalized in diabetic diets to preserve HDL cholesterol and improve glycemic control, yet the exact sources have not been clearly defined. Therefore, we assessed the effect of mixed nut consumption as a source of vegetable fat on serum lipids and HbA(1c) in type 2 diabetes. A total of 117 type 2 diabetic s...

Jul 25th, 2012 - The aims of this study were to check whether different biomarkers of inflammatory, apoptotic, immunological or lipid pathways had altered their expression in the occluded popliteal artery (OPA) compared with the internal mammary artery (IMA) and femoral vein (FV) and to examine whether glycemic control influenced the expression of these genes. The study included 20 patients with a...

Jun 13th, 2014 - Nut consumption has been associated with decreased risk of coronary heart disease (CHD) and type 2 diabetes which has been largely attributed to their healthy fatty acid profile, yet this has not been ascertained. Therefore, we investigated the effect of nut consumption on serum fatty acid concentrations and how these relate to changes in markers of glycemic control and cal...

Jul 1st, 2014 - Managing cardiovascular risk factors is important for reducing vascular complications in type 2 diabetes, even in individuals who have achieved glycemic control. Nut consumption is associated with reduced cardiovascular risk; however, there is mixed evidence about the effect of nuts on blood pressure (BP), and limited research on the underlying hemodynamics. This stu...

Jul 30th, 2013 - We found marked improvement of glycemic control and several cardiovascular risk factors in patients with type 2 diabetes given advice to follow a Paleolithic diet, as compared to a diabetes diet. We now report findings on subjective ratings of satiety at meal times and participants' other experiences of the two diets from the same study. In a randomized cross-over st...

Feb 23rd, 2009 - Type 2 diabetes is one of the fastest growing public health problems worldwide. Menopause may present additional challenges for women who have diabetes by increasing the risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD) and making blood glucose control more difficult. Functional foods may have the potential to improve glycemic control, but little evidence is known about t...

Sep 20th, 2016 - The costs of drug-induced hypoglycemia are a critical but often neglected component of value-based arguments to reduce tight glycemic control in older adults with type 2 diabetes. An economic (decision-tree) analysis compared rates, costs, quality-adjusted life-years, and incremental costs per quality-adjusted life-year gained associated with mild, moderate and sever...
