Abstract
Aims: This study explored the glycemic control and Fried frailty criteria of a 90 g/day low-carbohydrate diet (LCD) in older patients with type 2 diabetes over 18 months.
Methods: Forty-four older patients with type 2 diabetes and HbA1c ≥ 7.5% (58 mmol/mol) at the outpatient clinics were randomly assigned to a 90 g/day LCD or traditional diabetic diet (TDD). The analysis was performed using an intention-to-treat analysis.
Results: A total of 42 (95.5%) patients completed the trial. The 18-month mean change from baseline was statistically significant for 2-h glucose (-100.0 ± 57.7 vs -18.6 ± 86.2 mg/dL) and waist circumference (-6.3 ± 7.9 vs -1.7 ± 4.7 cm) between the LCD and TDD groups (P < 0.05). The 18-month mean change from baseline was not significantly different in HbA1c (-1.55 ± 1.0 vs -0.97 ± 1.2; P = 0.097). After intervention, the proportions of robust, pre-frailty, and frailty in the TDD and LCD groups were 20.0% vs 13.6%, 75.0% vs 86.4%, and 5.0% vs 0.0%, respectively (P > 0.05).
Conclusions: A 90 g/d LCD reflected improved glycemic control with significantly lower waist circumference without decreasing frailty in older patients with type 2 diabetes.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Diabetes Investigation is your core diabetes journal from Asia; the official journal of the Asian Association for the Study of Diabetes (AASD). The journal publishes original research, country reports, commentaries, reviews, mini-reviews, case reports, letters, as well as editorials and news. Embracing clinical and experimental research in diabetes and related areas, the Journal of Diabetes Investigation includes aspects of prevention, treatment, as well as molecular aspects and pathophysiology. Translational research focused on the exchange of ideas between clinicians and researchers is also welcome. Journal of Diabetes Investigation is indexed by Science Citation Index Expanded (SCIE).
