For patients with type 2 diabetes and obesity, high-calorie breakfast can effectively promote lipid-reducing and alleviation of diabetes symptoms, while reducing insulin dependence. Related results in the 100th recent Chicago The endocrine annual meeting was reported.
'This study shows that for people with type 2 diabetes who are obese and insulin-treated, high-calorie breakfasts, regular lunches, and simple dinners can improve their health better than traditional diets, including Promotes fat loss, reduces hunger and reduces tolerance to insulin,' said Daniela Jakubowicz, lead author of the study at Tel Aviv University.
'The time we eat and the frequency of eating are more important than what we eat and the calorie content,' the authors said: 'Our body's metabolic levels fluctuate throughout the day. Too little breakfast can cause a low glucose response. The effect of fasting is not as good as eating at night.
The authors and others investigated 11 males and 18 female obese and type 2 diabetic patients. The average age of these patients was 69 years old, and they all received insulin therapy. After that, the authors randomly divided patients into two groups, one The group had a regular diet, which means that the calorie content of each meal was comparable, while the other group received high calorie breakfast, medium calorie lunch and low calorie dinner diet control. The duration was 3 months.
The results showed that the average weight of the patient after the regular diet increased by 1.4 kg, and a controlled diet reduced the patient's weight by 5,000. In addition, compared with the regular diet group, the controlled diet group had blood glucose during the fasting period. There was also a significant drop in levels. The amount of insulin required to maintain normal blood glucose levels was also significantly reduced.
