Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

It goes without saying that diet is an important part of diabetes treatment.   However, there is often a lack of consensus.   For example, the percentage of carbohydrates in total energy and the position of the glycemic index vary from country to country.   In addition, with the increasing weight of ultra-processed foods, there are concerns about health hazards caused by chemicals and deficiencies of minerals and vitamins other than the three macronutrients.   The risk of elevated blood glucose and carcinogenesis due to artificial sweeteners in healthy people without diabetes has been reported, but their position in diabetic patients is unknown.   Furthermore, protein intake is recommended in older diabetic patients due to concerns about sarcopenia, but data are lacking on whether it is effective in maintaining adequate muscle mass.

This Special Issue solicits original papers and review articles of basic and clinical research on the role of diet in diabetes.   Areas of research include the three macronutrients plus micronutrients such as minerals and vitamins, and dietary fiber;   the position of artificial sweeteners;   dietary behaviors such as the form of meals (ultra-processed foods) and the order of eating.   We hope that this Special Issue will provide an opportunity to clarify dietary issues in diabetes.

Monitoring glycemic control status is the cornerstone of diabetes management. This study aimed to reveal whether moderate-carbohydrate (CHO) diets increase the risk of free fatty acid (FFA) levels, and it presents the short-term effects of four different diet models on blood sugar, glycemic variability (GV), and FFA levels. This crossover study included 17 patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus to identify the effects of four diets with different CHO contents and glycemic index (GI) on GV and plasma FFA levels. Diet 1 (D1) contained 40% CHO with a low GI, diet 2 (D2) contained 40% CHO with a high GI, diet 3 (D3) contained 60% CHO with a low GI, and diet 4 (D4) contained 60% CHO with a high GI. Interventions were performed with sensor monitoring in four-day periods and completed in four weeks. No statistical difference was observed among the groups in terms of blood glucose area under the curve (p = 0.78), mean blood glucose levels (p = 0.28), GV (p = 0.59), and time in range (p = 0.567). FFA and total triglyceride levels were higher in the D1 group (p < 0.014 and p = 0.002, respectively). Different diets may increase the risk of cardiovascular diseases by affecting GI, FFA, and blood glucose levels. Full article

The prevalence of type 2 diabetes (T2DM) is associated with diet. While consumption of plant-based foods may reduce blood sugar levels, the impact of consuming plant-based foods on fasting blood sugar levels has not been well defined. This cross-sectional study was conducted at the Health-Promoting Hospital in Pak Phun Municipality, Thailand. It included 61 patients with T2DM and 74 controls matched for age and gender. Dietary intake levels among T2DM and controls were assessed by a validated food-frequency questionnaire from which plant-based-food scores were calculated. This study found significant differences between specific plant foods and fasting blood sugar levels in patients with T2DM. Adherence to a plant-based diet appeared to influence fasting blood sugar levels. Patients who consumed higher amounts of certain vegetables and fruits showed lower fasting blood sugar levels. Diabetic patients consumed more legumes than controls, but the consumption of cereals and nuts/seeds in the two groups were similar. Consumption of nuts and seeds was also associated with a 76.3% reduction in the risk of a T2DM diagnosis. These findings suggest the potential efficacy of glycemic control in T2DM patients. More work is required to explore strategies for preventing and treating metabolic disorders through dietary modification. Full article
