abstract

conclusions this study supports the assumption that low glycemic index diet as well as metformin can positively affect metabolic syndrome components. background metabolic syndrome (mets) continues to be highly prevalent and contributes to a rapidly growing problem worldwide. the most important therapeutic intervention for metabolic syndrome is diet modification, an intervention whose efficacy has been proven for metabolic syndrome. objectives the aim of the present study was to compare the effects of low glycemic index diet versus metformin on mets components in adults with mets. patients and methods fifty-one adults with mets participated in this randomized controlled clinical trial. patients were randomly allocated to two groups of metformin and low glycemic index diet. the intervention period was eight weeks. the studied participants were compared at baseline and the end of the trial, regarding the following factors: weight, blood pressure, waist circumference, fasting blood sugar, hemoglobin a1c and lipid profiles (triglyceride (tg), total cholesterol (tc), low-density lipoprotein (ldl) cholesterol, and high-density lipoprotein (hdl) cholesterol). results the anthropometric measurements, fasting blood sugar (fbs), hemoglobin a1c, serum lipid profiles (tg, tc, ldl-c, hdl-c) and lipoprotein ratio (ldl/hdl) showed a significant decrease after the intervention in both groups (p < 0.05). comparison of the difference between the two groups was not significant, except for the mean reduction in fbs, which was more in the metformin group although this was not clinically significant.

Effect of Low Glycemic Index Diet Versus Metformin on Metabolic Syndrome

BACKGROUND Metabolic syndrome (MetS) continues to be highly prevalent and contributes to a rapidly growing problem worldwide. The most important therapeutic intervention for metabolic syndrome is diet modification, an intervention whose efficacy has been proven for metabolic syndrome. OBJECTIVES The aim of the present study was to compare the effects of low glycemic index diet versus metformi...

P-148: Effect of A Low Glycemic Index Diet on Insulin Resistance and Reproductive Hormones

Background: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is the most common endocrine disease in women affecting 5-10% of those of childbearing age. The majority of women with PCOS, regardless of weight, have a form of insulin resistance that is intrinsic to the syndrome. Obese women with PCOS have an added burden of insulin resistance related to their adiposity. Given the association of obesity and insuli...

Carbohydrate-restricted versus low-glycemic-index diets for the treatment of insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome.

Carbohydrate-restricted diets (CRD) and diets comprised of foods with a low glycemic index (low-GI) are postulated to improve insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome, potentially preventing the development of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). In this article, recent findings concerning the effects of CRD and low-GI diets on measures associated with the metabolic syndrome and T2DM are discussed...

The effect of a low-carbohydrate, ketogenic diet versus a low-glycemic index diet on glycemic control in type 2 diabetes mellitus

OBJECTIVE Dietary carbohydrate is the major determinant of postprandial glucose levels, and several clinical studies have shown that low-carbohydrate diets improve glycemic control. In this study, we tested the hypothesis that a diet lower in carbohydrate would lead to greater improvement in glycemic control over a 24-week period in patients with obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus. RESEARCH...

Effect of a low-glycemic-index diet during pregnancy on obstetric outcomes.

BACKGROUND Pregnancy is a condition in which the glycemic index (GI) may be of particular relevance because maternal glucose is the main energy substrate for intrauterine growth. OBJECTIVE The aim was to compare the effects of low-GI and conventional dietary strategies on pregnancy outcomes in healthy women. Compliance and acceptability were also investigated. DESIGN The subjects were assig...

Comparison of a low-glycemic index vs standard diabetic diet.

AIM There is insufficient evidence for the efficacy of a low-glycemic index (GI) diet in the management of diabetes. The goal of this study was to measure the effect of a low GI versus a standard diabetic diet in adults with diabetes type 2. METHODS This was an open label, randomized, crossover study. Twenty persons with type 2 diabetes were randomized to two groups. Each group followed a sta...
