NEW YORK (MedscapeWire) Apr 29 Substituting chicken for red meat may be best for patients with type 2 diabetes and microalbuminuria, according to an article in the April issue of Diabetes Care. Results of a randomized crossover trial suggest that this diet improved lipid levels and urinary albumin excretion rates compared with a low protein diet or normal diet.
"A diet in which red meat is replaced with chicken might represent an alternative or additional strategy for the treatment of microalbuminuric patients with type 2 diabetes," write Jorge L. Gross and colleagues from the Hospital de Clinicas de Porto Alegre in Brazil.
