Mediterranean Diet Without Breakfast Best Choice for Diabetics

[Northerner]

For patients with diabetes, it is better to eat a single large meal than several smaller meals throughout the day. This is the result of a current dietary study at Link?ping University in Sweden.

In the study the effect on blood glucose, blood lipids and different hormones after meals were compared using three different macronutrient compositions in patients with type 2 diabetes. The three diets were a low-fat diet, a low-carbohydrate diet and a Mediterranean diet. The scientists included 21 patients that tested all three diets in a randomized order. During each test day blood samples were collected at six time points.

Christ - did none of them have Dawn Phenomenon then?

Anyway, you can't draw any conclusions whatever from only 21 people so it was a bit of a waste of time really !

Remember that the Newcastle Diet was only tested on about 11 people, and that cures Type 2! 😉 🙄

It's that drastic 600 calorie a day diet we saw reported before. Apparently Newcastle Uni is to do a longer term research project to discover if it actually works on a more than temporary basis.
