background and objectives: increased consumption of fiber in the diet of diabetic patients is usually recommended for better diabetes control. trans-theoretical model of health behavior has had positive results in diabetes consultations on healthcare and adherence to healthy eating. the present study aimed to investigate the relationship between the stages of change based on fiber consumption a...

We investigated the influence of a program of exercise training consisting of three weekly sessions, each 45 min long, for 12 wk, on indices of physical fitness, glycemic control, and insulin sensitivity in nine adolescents with type I diabetes; six age-matched adolescents with diabetes of equivalent duration served as nonexercised controls. All subjects were instructed not to change dialy insu...

OBJECTIVE To determine the association of insulin sensitivity and pancreatic beta-cell function parameters assessed by the homeostasis model assessment (HOMA) and glycemic control, and their potential utilization in the clinical care of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. MATERIAL AND METHOD The HOMA indices were assessed in 204 (62 males, 142 females) type 2 diabetic outpatients aged 60....

Different dietary starch sources can have a great impact in determining starch digestion potential, thus influencing the postprandial blood glucose response. Our objectives were to define: (i) the incremental plasma glucose response in pigs fed diets containing various sources of starch differing in in vitro digestion patterns, (ii) the in vivo glycemic index (GI) values for the same diets, (ii...

Material and Methods: HbA1C levels of 120 non-diabetic hypothyroid patients (30 microcytic hypochromic anaemia, 30 normocytic normochromic anaemia and 60 non anemic patients) with 120 age, sex, plasma glucose levels and anaemia status matched controls were assessed. Anaemia status was determined by ferritin, Haemoglobin, red cell indices and peripheral smear. Glycemic status was determined by f...

background: in recent decades, studies on type 2 diabetes (t2d), have adopted a new approach to the field of a more complete collection of variables related to the lifestyles and diet of people. diet is an important factor in increasing the rate of t2d among individuals. considering the consumption of a high-carbohydrate diet, little attention has been paid to the type of carbohydrates consumed...

BACKGROUND This study was designed to determine the glycemic indices of five commonly used varieties of dates in healthy subjects and their effects on postprandial glucose excursions in individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus. METHODS Composition analysis was carried out for five types of dates (Tamer stage). The weights of the flesh of the dates equivalent to 50 g of available carbohydrate...

BACKGROUND Brewer's yeast may have beneficial effects on insulin receptors because of itsglucose tolerance factor in diabetic patients. This study was conducted to investigate the effects of brewer's yeast supplementation on glycemic indices in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. METHODS In a randomized double-blind controlled clinical trial, 84 adults (21 men and 63 women) aged 46.3 ± 6....

BACKGROUND Whole body vibration (WBV) training is a regime of training on a vibration platform that provides oscillatory movement to the body. Vibration training may be a potentially useful therapeutic strategy to control diabetes and its complications. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of WBV on glycemic indices and peripheral blood flow in type II diabetic patients. METHODS A parallel...
