Low-Carb Breakfast improves blood sugar control in Type 2 Diabetes Patients
Diabetes has become a growing concern and lifestyle changes might help in the improvement of the progression of the metabolic disease.
Explaining the study background, they said in type 2 diabetes (T2D) patients, consuming carbohydrates causes rapid and large increases in blood glucose, especially during morning hours when glucose intolerance is highest.
In the present study, researchers investigated if a low-carbohydrate (LC) breakfast improves glucose control in T2D patients more than those with low-fat control (CTL) breakfast. They enrolled 121 participants with a mean age of 64 years, and a change in HbA1c was the prespecified primary outcome.
After 12 weeks of low-carbohydrate breakfast, HbA1c was reduced.
The between-group difference in HbA1c was of borderline statistical significance.
