The relationship between dietary glycemic load and levels of blood glucose and lipid in patients with newlydiagnosed type 2 diabetes / 中华内分泌代谢杂志

ABSTRACT

To discuss the relationship between dietary glycemic load (GL) and blood glucose and lipid,201 patients with newly-diagnosed type 2 diabetes and 126 subjects with normal glucose tolerance were enrolled,who were all above 40 years old and permanently lived in communities of Guangzhou.GL,blood glucose and lipid were assessed based on 3-d dietary records.The results showed that the level of dietary glycemic load in diabetic patients was significantly higher than control group (169.61 ± 44.83 vs 157.50 ± 38.47,P＜0.05).Correlation analysis showed that dietary GL was positively correlated with body mass index and HbA1C,and negatively correlated with HDL-C in diabetic patients (all P＜0.05).Adjusted for age and sex by multiple regression,the result was the same.Therefore,dietary with high level of GL may be associated with the occurrence of type 2 diabetes,and is closely related to glucose control and blood lipid metabolism suggesting the necessity to control the level of dietary GL in the nutritional therapy for diabetic patients.
