Participants consumed two cups of either pure FDS beverage(each cup containing 25 g freeze-dried strawberry powder equivalent to one serving of fresh strawberries; intervention group) or an iso-caloric drinkwith strawberry flavoring(similar to the FDS drink in fiber content and color; placebo group) daily for 6 wk. Anthropometric measurements, 3 d, 24 h dietary recall, and fasting blood samples were collected at baseline and at weeks 6 intervention. After lying down and relaxing for approximately 10 min, each participant's blood pressure was recorded in triplicate with 5 min intervals; recordings were made at baseline and the trial end-point. Each participant's lipid profile was assessed before and after intervention.RESULTS: Assessment at the weeks 6 intervention showed a significant reduction from baseline in total cholesterol levels and total cholesterol to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C) ratio in the intervention group(179.01 ± 31.86 to 165.9 ± 32.4 mg/L; P = 0.00 and 3.9 ± 0.88 to 3.6 ± 0.082 mg/L; P = 0.00 respectively), but the change was not significantly different between the two groups(P = 0.07, P = 0.29 respectively). Systolic blood pressure levels were significantly reduced from baseline in both the FDS and placebo drink groups(129.95 ± 14.9 to 114.3 ± 27.5 mm Hg; P = 0.02 and 127.6 ± 15.6 to 122.9 ± 14.47 mm Hg; P = 0.00 respectively), but the reduction was not significantly different between the two groups. Diastolic blood pressure was significantly reduced post-intervention in the FDS drink group compared to placebo group(78.7 ± 7.2 vs 84.4 ± 5.8; P = 0.01), the reduction was also significant within the FDS drink group(84.2 ± 8.03 to 78.7 ± 7.2; P = 0.00). Triglycerides, HDL-C concentrations and anthropometric indices showed no significant differences between or within groups. CONCLUSION: Short-term FDS supplementation improved selected cardiovascular risk factors in subjects with T2 D. Long-term effects on other metabolic biomarkers need to be investigated in future trials.展开更多

The use of a proper diet treatment is one of the therapeutic approaches of patients. The use of the soy has shown the effective results in glycemic control of patients with type 2 diabetes;however, data are paradoxical. The present study aimed to examine the effectiveness of soy nuts on glycemic control, blood pressure and lipid profile and insulin-resistance of the diabetic patients. Methods: In this case-control study 69 type 2 diabetic patients were randomly divided into two groups: intervention (n = 35) and control (n = 34). The patients in the intervention group substituted 60 grams of soy nuts as a part of the daily protein requirement for eight weeks. In contrast, the patients in the control group received usual diet of diabetes (no soy). The drugs received by patients had not been changed during the intervention period. Before and at the end of the intervention, Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), fasting plasma glucose (FPG), serum insulin levels, insulin-resistance, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, low density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-c), high density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-c) and total cholesterol, and triglycerides (TG) were measured in the patients. Insulin-resistance was calculated by Homeostatic model assessment-IR formula (HOMA-IR). Results: Soy consumption significantly lowered FPG (P = 0.03), HbA1c (P P = 0.01), insulin-resistance (P = 0.01), total cholesterol (P P = 0.01), but did not have any significant effect on systolic blood pressure (P = 0.4), diastolic blood pressure (P = 0.2), HDL-c (P = 0.4) and TG (P = 0.2). Conclusion: Consumption of soy nuts in type 2 diabetic patients can cause an improvement in the glycemic control and insulin-resistance, and the lipid profile does not have any significant effect on blood pressure.展开更多

A prospective study including 256 type II diabetic patients who referred to diabetes’s clinic was designed. All patients underwent physical & retina examination and then completed questionnaire including duration of DM, cardiovascular disease, stroke, chronic kidney disease, smoking, and kind of treatment, blood pressure, BMI, abdominal & hip circumference. Results of HbA1C, total cholesterol, HDL & LDL cholesterol, TG, FBS, creatinine, 24-h urine microalbumin were recorded. Data were analyzed by SPSS version 17 with K2, independent samples T, and logistic regression. Of 256 types II diabetic patients 81 & 175 were men and women respectively. Mean age of subject was 54 ± 10.27. Prevalence of diabetic retinopathy was 22.3% & macula edema 0.5% & PDR 6% & NPDR 14%;diabetic retinopathy was associated with duration of DM & BMI (P = 0, P = 0.43 respectively). Mean of FBS 191 ± 83 vs. 165.7 ± 74.5 (P = 0.03), HbA1c 9.1 ± 2 vs. 8.5 ± 1.9 (P = 0.02), 24-h urine microalbumin 181.2 ± 404.7 vs. 60.2 ± 236 (P = 0.03), Systolic blood pressure 124.3 ± 21.3 vs. 118.5 ± 17.8 (p = 0.04) differed between diabetic patients with or without diabetic retinopathy. There were no significant difference between subject with & without diabetic retinopathy in total cholesterol LDL, HDL, TG, Cr, Diastolic BP, types of treatment, cardiovascular disease, chronic kidney disease, stroke & smoking. This study showed prevalence of diabetic retinopathy was high and it associated with duration of DM, BMI, FBS, HbA1C, 24-h urine albumin, and systolic blood pressure.展开更多
