Disease relevance of Diabetic Diet

• Ascorbic acid administered in a dose of 500 mg per day for 12 months to metabolically stabilized hypercholesterolemic subjects with maturity-onset diabetes mellitus (diabetic diet without insulin or diabetic drugs) brought about a striking decline of cholesterolemia and a moderate decline of triglyceridemia [1].
• This review considers the effects of these nutritive sweeteners on the main dietary concerns in the diabetic diet, i.e., control of blood glucose levels, obesity, and hyperlipidemia [2].

High impact information on Diabetic Diet

• We conclude that short-term replacement of other carbohydrate sources in the diabetic diet with fructose will improve glycemic control, whereas replacement with sucrose will not aggravate glycemic control [3].
• Plasma lipids, blood glucose, and urinary glucose excretion were measured in 270 juvenile diabetic children upon admission to and throughout periods of summer camping during which the effect of a usual and a modified diabetic diet was assessed [4].
• The usual diabetic diet contained 700-1,500 mg. cholesterol daily with a polyunsaturated/saturated (P/S) ratio of 0.1, while the modified diet limited cholesterol to 300 mg. daily with a P/S ratio of 1 [4].
• Xylitol has been suggested as a potentially useful sweetener in the diabetic diet [5].
• OBJECTIVE--Supplementation of type II diabetic diets with n-3 fatty acids (FAs) from fish oil (FO) has been associated with lowered triglyceride and VLDL levels, although reports of impaired glycemic control have limited their use [6].

Associations of Diabetic Diet with chemical compounds

• Fructose in the diabetic diet [7].
• A major research program in the University of Maryland School of Medicine, Department of Pharmacology, in the 1930s was the preparation of a large number of sugar alcohols and their anhydrides as substitute carbohydrates for diabetic diets [8].
• The diet loading test (DLT), which measures the change in the blood sugar (BS) level after a loading diabetic diet (5 units = 400 kcal, including 50 g of carbohydrate), has been devised as a new diagnostic for diabetes [9].

Gene context of Diabetic Diet

• Sucrose added as an integral part of the diabetic diet does not adversely affect metabolic control in well-controlled NIDDM subjects [10].
• These results emphasize that food form rather than fiber may be important in determining the glycemic response and that pasta may be a useful source of carbohydrate in the diabetic diet [11].
• In summary, criteria to define good, acceptable, and unacceptable compliance with a CONTROL or HCF diabetic diet were established [12].
• Twenty-three individual lemurs of four species were initially tested with the transferrin saturation test (%TS); 21 of these animals were on conventional zoo diets, and two were fed a specific diabetic diet [13].
• Factors related to diabetic clients' abilities to read and comprehend printed diabetic diet material were explored by collecting data on social and demographic variables, prior knowledge, reading ability (using the Nelson-Denny Test), and comprehension of the diet (using the cloze technique) from 58 outpatient diabetic clients [14].
