Adults who are overweight or obese and have type 2 diabetes or prediabetes are at a higher risk of developing severe health issues, according to authors of
a recent study.
Experts. however, disagree on the best dietary regimens and supportive measures to suggest.
The latest study was published in the journal 'The Annals of Family Medicine'.
In the findings, researchers used a 2×2 diet-by-support factorial design to randomise 94 adults with the aforementioned conditions, contrasting a very
low-carbohydrate (VLC) or ketogenic diet with a Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) diet.
They also determined the outcomes of interventions that included and excluded additional support practices like mindful eating, effective emotion regulation,
social support, and cooking instruction.
Using intent-to-treat analyses, the VLC diet led to greater improvement in estimated mean systolic blood pressure (SBP; -9.8 mmHg vs. -5.2 mmHg, P =.046), greater
improvement in glycosylated haemoglobin (HbA1c; -.4 per cent vs. -.1 per cent, P = 0.034), and greater improvement in weight (-19.14 lbs vs. -10.33 lbs, P = 0.0003),
compared to the DASH diet.
The addition of extra support did not have a statistically significant effect on outcomes.
