Abstract:

Forty individuals over 16 years, able to read English and diagnosed with insulin dependant diabetes mellitus were recruited from an outpatient endocrinology unit to investigate the dietary modifications implemented after receiving dietary advice. Recorded dietary intakes were compared with the dietary recommendations, previous dietary practices, the recommended diet for diabetes, the diet of the Australian population and the national dietary goals. Participants were asked to recall the time lapsed since their last dietetic visit and the recommendations provided. The reported and actual d

Abstract:

The independent effect of a high polyunsaturated:saturated fat (P:S) diet on glycemic control in humans has been poorly studied. We propose that a P:S $>$ 1.0 vs P:S 1.0 vs. P:S 1.0. HDL and IGFl were significantly lower with the P:S $>$ 1.0. Si was unaffected by the P:S difference, however, trends towards decreased Sg and increased insulin secretion were seen with P:S $>$ 1.0. The small sample size limits the making of firm conclusions, however, it suggests that glycemic control may be improved through increased insulin secretion a result of an increase in P:S.

Diabetes was then induced by tail-vein injection of STZ (60 mg/kg body weight), after which the rats were kept for an additional 4 to 8 weeks. The control groups comprised rats not injected with STZ, which were either Mn-deficient or Mn-sufficient. The Mn-deficient diet decreased the activities of manganese superoxide dismutase (MnS

Patients with non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) usually exhibit a marked disturbance of lipid metabolism which is reflected in high levels of plasma total cholesterol, low-density lipoproteins (LDL), and triglycerides, along with low levels of high-density lipoproteins (HDL). Elevated triglycerides are the major contributor to diabetic hyperlipidemia. These plasma lipid concentrations and the fatty acid composition of these lipids are clearly influenced by the type of diet consumed along with the proportion of dietary fatty acids.

Abstract:

Postprandial urea production in subjects with insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) on conventional insulin therapy is normal when the previous diet is high in protein, but there is an incomplete adaptive reduction in urea production following protein restriction. To evaluate the nutritional implications of restricted protein intake in human diabetes mellitus, it is first necessary to establish a reliable method to measure changes in urea production and amino acid catabolism in response to changes in dietary protein intake. We therefore tested (1) the accuracy of the urea production rate
