Switching to a high protein diet, in which 30 percent of calories are derived from proteins (instead of 15 percent) may improve glucose control in untreated patients with type 2 diabetes.
The findings were presented here September 4th at the 38th annual meeting of the European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD).
Dr. Mary C. Gannon, of the University of Minnesota, Minnesota, United States, and colleagues enrolled 11 patients (nine men, two women) with untreated type 2 diabetes in a randomised study with a crossover design.
The patients were required to eat a diet consisting of 15 percent protein for a period of five weeks, followed by a diet containing 30 percent protein for the next five weeks, or vice versa.
