Objective:
To explore the effects of different types of nuts
on blood glucose, blood lipids, body mass index (BMI) and
inflammation in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus
(T2DM).
Methods:
This study was a prospective, single blind and
randomized controlled trial. Convenient sampling method
was adopted. According to the inclusion and exclusion
criteria, T2DM patients were rescruited from the First
Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University and the diabetes
clubs in Suzhou from December 2015 to August 2016.
Patients were randomly assigned to peanut group (N=15)
and almond group (N=17). In peanut group, male and female
patients consumed peanut 60g/d and 50g/d, respectively; in
almond group, male and female patients consumed almond
55g/d and 45g/d, respectively, for three months. Before
the intervention, 1 week was washout period. All patients
received scheduled telephone visits (once/week).When
patients were recruited, two groups received the education
of low carbohydrate diet by one-to-one. Blood glucose,
glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c), and IL-6 were collected
and compared at baseline as well as 3-month.
Results:
1. Effect nuts on fasting plasma glucose (FPG) FPG
between first week and third week decreased significantly
in almond group and then fluctuated in the level of glucose
of third week 2. Effect nuts on postprandial blood glucose
During the intervention, the postprandial 2h blood glucose
fluctuated in the two groups, and the fluctuation of
postprandial 2h blood glucose in peanut group was higher
than that of almond group.
Discussion:
Two different types of nuts can improve FPG.
and consuming almonds can be conducive to stability of
long-term blood glucose and improve BMI of T2DM patients.
Therefore, it is recommended that obese patients with
unstable blood glucose can moderately consume almonds.
Peanuts are good for the patients with the poor FPG and
high expression of inflammatory factors. These can be used
as adjuvant therapy for T2DM patients
