| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Patients with diabetes may have difficulty with their dietary therapy due to a strong preference for sweet taste. We found that sweet taste preference was reduced by dietary guidance in some patients. However, there have been no reports about evaluation of dietary guidance methods with the focus on improvement of sweet taste preference.
The present study demonstrated that higher intake of umami components based on dietary guidance reduced the sweet taste preference and improved symptoms of diabetes. These results may suggest a method by which it is possible to control sugar intake, which is difficult with standard dietary therapy, and could contribute to establishing an innovative treatment for diabetes.
