Improved adherence to Mediterranean Diet in adults with type 1 diabetes mellitus.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

We aimed to assess food intake and adherence to the Mediterranean Diet in patients with T1D compared with nondiabetic individuals.

Methods

This was an observational, multicenter study in 262 T1D subjects and 254 age- and sex-matched nondiabetic subjects. A validated food-frequency questionnaire was administered. The alternate Mediterranean Diet Score (aMED) and alternate Healthy Eating Index (aHEI) were assessed. The clinical variables were also collected. The analysis of data included comparisons between groups and multivariate models.

Results

Compared to the controls, the patients with T1D had a higher intake of dairy products (p?ConclusionsAdult patients with T1D showed healthier dietary habits and a higher adherence to the Mediterranean Diet than nondiabetic subjects. Residing in a nonurban area is associated with an improved dietary pattern.

Project description:Background and Objectives: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a chronic condition recognized as the inability to maintain glucose homeostasis, typically presenting with insulin resistance and systemic inflammation. With the prevalence of T2DM and major risk factors, such as prediabetes and obesity, increasing each year, the need to address risk factor reduction strategies is crucial. Materials and Methods: Twenty-two men and women, overweight-to-obese adults (BMI mean: 26.1-31.6) (age range mean: 44.6-51.8) with T2DM, indicators of prediabetes, or who were metabolically healthy, participated in Cal Poly's Nutrition and Exercise in Type 2 Diabetes (CPNET) study. There were no significant differences in terms of age, BMI, or sex distribution among the groups at the baseline. This study's protocol included following a Mediterranean-style diet, the daily consumption of a high-quality whey protein supplement, and physical activity recommendations for 16 weeks. Body composition data, via dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA), and fasting blood samples were collected at the baseline and following the intervention. Due to restrictions associated with the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, only 13 of the 22 participants who started this study were able to return for the second data collection to complete this study following the 16-week intervention. Results: The prediabetic and T2DM groups exhibited reductions in their fasting plasma glucose (12.0 mg/dL reduction in the prediabetic group; 19.6 mg/dL reduction in the T2DM group) to that of normal and prediabetic levels, respectively, while the T2DM group also demonstrated improvement in their hemoglobin A1c (reduced from 6.8% to 6.0%) to prediabetic levels. Additionally, the metabolically healthy, overweight group exhibited significant improvements in adiposity, while the obese prediabetic and T2DM groups showed non-significant improvements in all the measured metrics of body composition. No significant changes were observed in the inflammatory biomarkers (p-values ranged from 0.395 to 0.877). Conclusions: Collectively, our results suggest that adherence to a well-balanced, nutritious diet and activity may improve the parameters of glycemic control and provide benefits to body composition that help to manage and prevent the development of T2DM. Our study was able to yield significant findings signifying that the effects of a Mediterranean-style diet are observed even for a more conservative sample size.
