 Diet, Lifestyle, and the Risk of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus in Women (Journal Abstract) |
Added on: 9/24/2002 | Hits: 13 |
| From Harvard University and The New England Journal of Medicine, 2001: These Harvard researchers studied over 84,000 women for 16 years and found that the women who were not overweight, exercised at least half an hour a day, and ate a diet rich in fiber and low in glycemic index and trans fat dramatically reduce their risk of Type 2 diabetes. |

| High Protein Diet Helps Control Blood Glucose in Untreated Type 2 Diabetics (Press Release) |
Added on: 9/20/2002 | Hits: 33 |
| From the University of Minnesota and the Doctor's Guide, 2002: This Minnesota study compared two diet in untreated type II diabetics. The first diet consisted of 15% protein and 55% carbohydrate, and the second diet consisted of 30% protein and 40% carbohydrate. Both diets consisted of 30% fat. The researchers found that when the participants ate the higher protein, lower carbohydrate diet they experienced lower glucose levels, insulin levels, and triglycerides. The researchers concluded that increasing dietary protein and lowering carbohydrate led to the improved blood glucose control. |

| Whole-Grain Intake is Favorably Associated with Metabolic Risk Factors for Type 2 Diabetes and Cardiovascular Disease in the Framingham Offspring Study (Journal Abstract) |
Added on: 9/18/2002 | Hits: 15 |
| From Harvard University and The Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 2002: A team of researchers from Harvard, Tufts, Massachusetts General Hospital, Brigham and Women's Hospital and Boston University studied data from the Framingham Offspring Study to determine the association between whole-grain and refined grain foods and the risk of diabetes and heart disease. They found that participants who ate whole grains rather than refined grains had lower weight, lower BMIs, better waist-to-hip ratios, lower total cholesterol, lower LDL cholesterol ("bad cholesterol"), and lower fasting insulin levels. They also noted that lower insulin levels were most prevalent among overweight participants. They concluded that eating whole grain foods rather than refined grains lowered the risk of diabetes and heart diseases. |

| Effect of a High-Protein, High–Monounsaturated Fat Weight Loss Diet on Glycemic Control and Lipid Levels in Type 2 Diabetes (Journal Abstract) |
Added on: 9/18/2002 | Hits: 26 |
| From the University of Adelaide in Australia and the journal Diabetes Care, 2002: A team of Australian researchers conducted this study to determine the effect of a higher-protein, lower carbohydrate diet as compared to a lower protein, higher carbohydrate diet on body fat and lean body mass in people with type II diabetes. They placed two groups on a restricted calorie diet of 1,600 calorie per day to induce weight loss. One group's diet consisted of 28% protein and 42% carbohydrate, while the second group's diet was 16% protein and 55% carbohydrate. While both groups lost weight, women in the group eating the higher protein, lower carbohdyrate diet lost nearly twice as much weight (and more of it from the abdomen)as did the women in the lower protein, higher carbohdyrate group. The LDL cholesterol ("bad" cholesterol) was signficantly lower in the higher protein, lower carbohydrate group. The researchers concluded that a diet higher in protein and lower in carbohydrate is a valid diet choice for reducing heart disease risk among type II diabetics. |

| Whole-Grain Intake and the Risk of Type 2 Diabetes: A Prospective Study in Men (Journal Abstract) |
Added on: 9/18/2002 | Hits: 8 |
| From Harvard University and The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 2002: A team of researchers at Harvard studied the connection between intake of whole grains and refined grains with the development of diabetes. They examined 12 years of data from 43,000 men participating in the famous Health Professionals Follow-Up Study. They noted that men who ate whole-grain products were less likely to develop diabetes than were men who at refined-grain products. They recommend that refined grains be avoided in order to reduce the risk of developing type II diabetes. |

| Findings and Recommendations from the American College of Endocrinology Conference on the Insulin Resistance Syndrome (Scientific Statement) |
Added on: 9/18/2002 | Hits: 23 |
| From the American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists, 2002: This brief statement on insulin resistance reveals some startling statistics. 1)One-third of Americans have insulin resistance which places them at higher risk for heart disease, stroke, and diabetes; 2)the prevalence of insulin resistance has skyrocketed by 61% in the last 10 years; 3) 80% of the 16 million Americans with diabetes are insulin resistant placing them at higher risk for multiple illnesses; 4) one in ten women have PCOS placing them at higher risk for heart disease and diabetes; 5) Obesity has become an epidemic among children and adolescents. |

| Results Of Use of Metformin and Replacement of Starch With Saturated Fat In Diets Of Patients With Type 2 Diabetes (Journal Abstract) |
Added on: 7/16/2002 | Hits: 108 |
| From the University of Deleware and the journal Endocrine Practice, 2002: In this groundbreaking study, researchers fed type 2 diabetics saturated fat instead of starch to determine the effect on blood glucose levels and blood lipid levels. They concluded that including saturated fat instead of starch improved blood glucose control, induced weight loss, and did not negatively affect their total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, or tryglyceride levels. They specifically state their study provided evidence that increased insulin use resulted in increased weight. |

| Influence of Intensive Diabetes Treatment on Body Weight and Composition of Adults With Type 1 Diabetes (Journal Abstract) |
Added on: 7/11/2002 | Hits: 36 |
| From The Massachusetts General Hospital, the Diabetes Control and Complications Trial Research Group and Diabetes Care Journal, 2001: This group of researchers compared weight gain and body composition in a group of young type I diabetics receiving insulin therapy. They found that the more intensive the insulin therapy, the more likely the subject would develop substantial excessive excessive body fat. |

| Diabetics Improve Health With Very High-Fat, Low Carb Diet (Press Release) |
Added on: 7/10/2002 | Hits: 192 |
| From the Limestone Medical Center in Wilmington, Deleware and The Doctor's Guide To Medical & Other News, 1999: A very high fat, low carbohydrate diet has been shown to have astounding effects in helping type 2 diabetics lose weight and improve their blood lipid profiles. The researchers report that diabetics placed on very high fat and low carb diets (but not ketogenic)lost weight, lowered their triglerides, total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol ("bad cholesterol), and raised their HDL cholesterol ("good" cholesterol). |

| Scientists Close In On Trigger Of Insulin Resistance; Extra Sugar Can Cause Insulin Resistance In Cells (Press Release) |
Added on: 7/10/2002 | Hits: 95 |
| From the Johns Hopkins Medical Center & ScienceDaily.com, 2002: These scientist discovered direct evidence that excess sugar in the diet triggers insulin resistance. "We think we've come across a major mechanistic reason for insulin resistance," says one of researchers. "These cells developed insulin resistance simply because their proteins, and specific proteins in fact, had more than the normal number of sugar tags." |

| Dairy Consumption, Obesity, and the Insulin Resistance Syndrome in Young Adults (Journal Abstract) |
Added on: 7/10/2002 | Hits: 76 |
| From Harvard University and the Journal of the American Medical Association, 2002: In 2002, a Harvard team worked with researchers from several other universities to study at the relationship between the intake of dairy with obesity and insulin resistance. This team studied 3,000 young adults for 10 years. They found that overweight adults who consumed the most diary were the least likely to develop high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and Insulin Resistance even when the dairy products contained significant dietary fat. They concluded that intake of diary products may reduce the risk of heart disease and type II diabetes. |
