Abstract
|
|
The effects of moderate
addition of leguminous seeds to a mixed diabetic diet were evaluated
in 15 inadequately controlled patients with non-insulin-dependent
diabetes mellitus. A control diet and a diet with an increased content
of peas and beans (leguminous diet) were given consecutively for a
3-week period each on a metabolic ward. Seven of the patients started
with the control diet and 8 with the leguminous diet. On an energy
basis the diets comprised 20% protein and 33-34% fat, the ratio
between polyunsaturated and saturated fatty acids was 1.4. The
analysed dietary fibre contents of the control and leguminous diets
were 24 and 37 g/day per 6.7 MJ (1,600 kcal) respectively. The content
of digestible carbohydrates was similar in the 2 diets. The mean body
weight did not differ after the 2 dietary treatment periods. All
patients showed improved glucose control during treatment irrespective
of the type of diet given. The fasting blood glucose concentration on
admission was 14.3 +/- 0.9 mmol/l (mean +/- SEM). This value had
decreased to 9.9 +/- 0.8 during the last week of the control period
and to 9.7 +/- 0.6 during the last week of the leguminous diet period.
The mean postprandial glucose concentration at 3 pm was significantly
lower during the leguminous diet period. The mean urine glucose
excretion was significantly lower during the leguminous diet period.
The fasting serum lipid concentrations decreased during treatment with
each diet, but there were no significant differences between these
values at the end of the 2 diet treatment periods. |
