Jul 31st, 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...

Aug 6th, 2014 - A couple handfuls of tree nuts a day may improve glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes, a new systematic review and meta-analysis suggests. The findings, from a total 450 patients in 11 randomized trials in 5 countries, were published online July 30, 2014 in PLOS One by Effie Viguiliouk, of the Clinical Nutrition and Risk Factor Modification Center...

Feb 6th, 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...

Jun 14th, 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...

Jun 6th, 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 ...

Jul 13th, 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...

Sep 5th, 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 ...

Oct 27th, 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...

Jul 31st, 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...

Jul 2nd, 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...

Nov 13th, 2015 - The effects of nuts on major cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors, including dose-responses and potential heterogeneity by nut type or phytosterol content, are not well established. We examined the effects of tree nuts (walnuts, pistachios, macadamia nuts, pecans, cashews, almonds, hazelnuts, and Brazil nuts) on blood lipids [total cholester...

Apr 29th, 2022 - Evidence to guide type 2 diabetes treatment individualization is limited. We evaluated heterogeneous treatment effects (HTE) of intensive glycemic control in type 2 diabetes patients on major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) in the Action to Control Cardiovascular Risk in Diabetes Study (ACCORD) and the Veterans Affairs Diabetes Trial (VADT)....

Dec 20th, 2020 - Temidayo Fadelu, MD Evidence continues to mount on the benefits of a healthier lifestyle for cancer survivors, and findings of a new prospective study suggest that one such intervention—eating tree nuts like almonds, walnuts, and pecans—can improve overall survival and reduce the risk of recurrence in patients with colon cancer. Researchers performed a prospective o...

Feb 22nd, 2019 - Eating more nuts -- especially tree nuts such as walnuts and almonds -- was associated with lower cardiovascular risk in people with diabetes, according to a large prospective cohort study. Compared with study participants who ate less than one serving of nuts per month, those who consumed five or more servings per week had a 17% reduction in total card...

Feb 15th, 2022 - Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a pregnancy complication associated with short- and long-term health consequences for mother and child. First line treatment is diet and exercise but there is a recognized knowledge gap as to what diet treatment is optimal. A healthy Nordic diet has been associated with improved health but no studies in women with GDM exist. The New Nordic Diet (NND...

Sep 28th, 2021 - Racial/ethnic health inequities have been well-documented among youth and young adults with type 1 diabetes (T1D), yet little is known about how socioeconomic position (SEP) intersects with the risk marker of race/ethnicity to predict inequities in longitudinal glycemic control. To identify patterns of SEP, race/ethnicity, and clinical characteristics that differentiate hem...

Aug 19th, 2021 - Diabetes and insulin levels may increase the risk of postmenopausal breast cancer. In the present investigation, we aimed at evaluating whether adherence to a diabetes risk reduction diet (DRRD) lowers the risk of breast cancer. We used data from an Italian, multicentric case-control study (1991-1994) including 2569 incident histologically-confirmed breast cancer cases and ...

Mar 30th, 2022 - Established prediction models of Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) are limited to the analysis of clinical research data or general population data and do not consider hospital visits. Construct a 3-year diabetic kidney disease risk prediction model in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) using machine learning, based on electronic medical records (EMR). Data from 816 patients (585 ...
