Research Abstract |
Basic carbohydrate (carb) counting can be an easy-to-use and effective diet therapy for patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D). However, it is unknown whether mild control of carb can lead to proper restriction of calories, lipids and proteins. We evaluated the efficacy of carb counting as a dietary therapy in patients with T2D. BMI values of both groups significantly reduced 6 months after the start of the study, but the values showed no significant difference between the 2 groups. In addition, lipid profiles showed no significant difference between the groups. On the other hand, the findings from an examination of patients completing the dietary instruction protocol showed that the carb group had a significant A1C decrease, while the calorie group had no significant reduction in A1C levels. We, for the first time, revealed that the carb counting is equally effective as the calorie restriction for patients with non-insulin-treated T2D.
