Diabetes is a chronic, potentially debilitating, and often fatal disease. Dietary strategies to reduce postprandial glycemia are important in the prevention and treatment of diabetes. Nuts are rich in mono- and polyunsaturated fatty acids, which may reduce hyperglycemia and improve metabolism.
To evaluate the effectiveness of pistachio nut supplementation on glycemic and inflammatory measures in patients with type 2 diabetes.
In this double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, crossover trial, 48 diabetic patients were equally assigned to groups A and B. Patients in group A received a snack of 25 g pistachio nuts twice a day for 12 weeks and group B received a control meal without nuts. After 12 weeks of intervention, the patients had an 8-week washout. Then the groups were displaced, and group B received the same amount of pistachios for 12 weeks.
With respect to the total change in variables over both phases, there was a marked decrease in HbA1c (-0.4%) and fasting blood glucose (FBG) concentrations (-16 mg/dl) in the pistachio group compared with the control group (p ≤ 0.001 for both). There was no overall significant change in BMI, blood pressure, HOMA-IR, and C-reactive protein (CRP) concentrations. Analysis of the two phases separately showed a decrease in FBG by 14 mg/dl and in HbA1c by 0.45% in the treatment group (A) after 12 weeks, while no significant differences were seen in group B (control group). In the second phase, FBG decreased from 151.36 ± 39.22 to 137.28 ± 28.65 mg/dl (-14 mg/dl) and HbA1c decreased from 7.42 ± 0.97 to 7.15 ± 0.68 mg/dl (-0.28%, p = 0.013 and p = 0.033, respectively) in the pistachio group (B). Pistachio consumption reduced systolic blood pressure (p = 0.007), BMI (p = 0.011), and CRP (p = 0.002) in patients from the treatment groups, but not insulin resistance.
Dietary consumption of pistachio nuts as a snack has beneficial effects on glycemic control, blood pressure, obesity, and inflammation markers in diabetic patients.
糖尿病是一种慢性、可能使人衰弱且往往致命的疾病。降低餐后血糖的饮食策略在糖尿病的预防和治疗中很重要。坚果富含单不饱和脂肪酸和多不饱和脂肪酸,可能会降低高血糖并改善新陈代谢。
评估食用开心果对2型糖尿病患者血糖和炎症指标的影响。
在这项双盲、随机、安慰剂对照、交叉试验中,48名糖尿病患者被平均分为A组和B组。A组患者每天两次食用25克开心果零食,持续12周;B组患者食用不含坚果的对照餐。干预12周后,患者有8周的洗脱期。然后两组互换,B组食用相同量的开心果,持续12周。
就两个阶段变量的总体变化而言,与对照组相比,开心果组的糖化血红蛋白(HbA1c)(-0.4%)和空腹血糖(FBG)浓度(-16毫克/分升)显著降低(两者p≤0.001)。体重指数、血压、稳态模型评估的胰岛素抵抗(HOMA-IR)和C反应蛋白(CRP)浓度没有总体显著变化。分别分析两个阶段发现,治疗组(A组)在12周后FBG降低了14毫克/分升,HbA1c降低了0.45%,而B组(对照组)没有显著差异。在第二阶段,开心果组(B组)的FBG从151.36±39.22降至137.28±28.65毫克/分升(-14毫克/分升),HbA1c从7.42±0.97降至7.15±0.68毫克/分升(-0.28%,分别为p = 0.013和p = 0.033)。食用开心果可降低治疗组患者的收缩压(p = 0.007)、体重指数(p = 0.011)和CRP(p = 0.002),但对胰岛素抵抗没有影响。
将开心果作为零食食用对糖尿病患者的血糖控制、血压、肥胖和炎症指标有有益影响。
