Dietary composition affects regional body fat distribution and levels of dehydroepiandrosterone sulphate (DHEAS) in post-menopausal women with Type 2 diabetes

Article Abstract:

High carbohydrate and high monounsaturated fat diets have different impacts on regional body fat loss in post-menopausal women with Type 2 diabetes. A high carbohydrate diet leads to the disproportionate loss of fat from lower body depots and to a more centralized pattern of fat distribution. Eating a high carbohydrate diet was found to prompt a substantial decline in the proportion of linoleic acid in plasma cholesteryl esters. A high monounsaturated fat diet should be recommended to limit the centralized pattern of adiposity in post-menopausal women with Type 2 diabetes.

Adherence to protein restriction in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus: a randomized trial

Article Abstract:

A counselling programme for dietary protein restriction in patients with type 2 diabetes can only slightly reduce protein intake. It seems likely that the main reason for the low level of protein restriction was that the participants felt quite healthy and did not really appreciate the importance of compliance. A protein-restricted diet for type 2 diabetic patients without nephropathy seems to be hardly feasible. Adherence was quite low in patients not living alone, those with a higher baseline protein intake and those who were less satisfied with their pre-existing diet.
