A Review: Are Some Diet Models Beneficial or Harmful for Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus?

Abstract

2). The “A Secondary Analysis of the Dietary Intervention Randomized Controlled Trial” study aimed to examine the metabolic effects of three dietary patterns which they described as healthy: a low-fat diet model with restricted calories, a Mediterranean diet (MD) model with restricted calories and a low-CHO diet model with restricted calories. According to the results of that study, decreases in body weight (kg) and fasting plasma insulin levels (pmol/L) were observed after the first six months in all three dietary model intervention groups. However, the following 24-month results showed that there was an increase in both parameters but they did not go back to their initial values. 4
