Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the effects of whole fruit-based products consumption on HbA1c levels in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus through a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Methods: We searched PubMed, Cochrane Library, and Embase from inception to April 22, 2024, for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) examining the effects of whole fruit-based products consumption on HbA1c in type 2 diabetes mellitus (PROSPERO: CRD42024566638). A random-effects meta-analysis was performed. Mean difference (MD) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated; heterogeneity was assessed using I².
Results: Five RCTs involving 245 participants were included. Fruit consumption significantly reduced HbA1c levels (MD, -0.33%; 95% CI, -0.54% to -0.11%; I² = 44%). FBG was also reduced (MD, -6.59 mg/dL; 95% CI, -10.59 to -2.59 mg/dL; I² = 0%), and HDL increased (MD, 2.72 mg/dL; 95% CI, 1.32 to 4.12 mg/dL; I² = 0%). One study had high risk of bias; no serious adverse events were reported.
Conclusions: Whole fruit-based products consumption may improve HbA1c, fasting blood glucose, and HDL cholesterol levels in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. REGISTRY AND REGISTRY NUMBER FOR SYSTEMATIC REVIEWS OR META-ANALYSES: PROSPERO number CRD42024566638. The registration date was August 2nd, 2024.
