EVALUATION OF THE EFFECTS OF SPECIFIC DIABETES NUTRITION ON POSPRANDIAL BLOOD GLUCOSE IN PATIENTS WITH TYPE 2 DIABETES
Main Article Content
Abstract
Objective: To initially evaluate the effects of specialized nutrition on postprandial blood glucose in patients with type 2 diabetes. Methods: a descriptive study, with nutritional intervention in 92 patients with type 2 diabetes treated as outpatients at Hospital 103. The main outcomes were blood glucose levels at 30, 60, and 120 minutes after meals and an increment in blood glucose. Results: Blood glucose and the percentage of blood glucose control after meals at 30 minutes and 120 minutes after meals were not statistically different between the diabetes-specific formula and standard meal. However, blood glucose at 60 and 120 minutes after meals of the diabetes-specific formula group were significantly lower than standard meal (at 60 minutes: 11.14 mmol/L vs 12.69 mmol/L and at 120 minutes: 9.26 mmol/L vs 11.06 mmol/L, p < 0.05). The percentage of achieving postprandial blood glucose control targets at 60 minutes was significantly higher in the diabetes-specific formula groups compared with standard meal group (p < 0.005). Patients using diabetes-specific formula had a significantly lower increament in blood glucose after meals at 30, 60, and 120 minutes after meals than the standard meal group (p < 0.05). Conclusion: Among patients with type 2 diabetes, diabetes-specific formula contributed to blood glucose control for 120 minutes after consumption better compared to standard meal group.
