Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Diabetes is known to be a major global health problem, affecting up to 500 million people worldwide, or about 9% of the adult population. Medical nutrition therapy occupies a central place in diabetes management strategies and is probably the most important part of diabetes prevention and treatment. While recent advances in research have improved our understanding of nutritional and dietary risk factors for diabetes, evidence regarding these emerging nutritional and dietary risk factors remains limited. Nutrition is key to better management of diabetes today because nutrition is involved in the pathophysiology of diabetes by affecting insulin sensitivity and secretion. There is a clear effect when nutrients are absorbed: quantitatively speaking, a high-calorie intake leads to obesity, which in most cases leads to insulin resistance. However, the quality of nutrition is likely to play a crucial role, although the correlation is less certain and the exact mechanism is still largely unknown. Other questions still need to be addressed, such as the appropriate carbohydrate intake, how foods affect insulin doses, and whether combinations of nutrients—that is, specific "diets"—are more relevant than individual nutrients.

Our goal is to delve into the latest strategies of nutrition and diet in the treatment and management of diabetes, hopefully providing more scientific and innovative nutrition and diet guidelines for patients with diabetes. We invite clinicians and researchers to submit relevant scientific work, whether original articles or reviews, to this Special Issue on “Dietary and Nutritional Guidelines For People With Diabetes“.

Open AccessSystematic Review

Effectiveness of Chickpeas on Blood Sugar: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials

by Taegwang Nam, Anna Kim and Yongtaek Oh

Abstract

Diabetes affects one in eleven adults globally, with rising cases in the past 30 years. Type 1 and type 2 cause blood sugar problems, increasing cardiovascular risks. Dietary control, including chickpeas, is suggested but needs more research. Comprehensive searches were conducted across multiple databases for the randomized controlled trial efficacy of chickpea consumption to lower blood sugar levels to a healthy range, with data extraction and risk of bias assessment performed independently by two researchers. Statistical analysis was performed using RevMan 5.4, expressing continuous data as mean differences and risk ratios with 95% confidence intervals, and a summary of the findings is provided considering the variations in study characteristics. A total of 118 articles were initially identified from seven databases, primarily from Anglo–American countries, resulting in 12 selected studies after the identification and screening processes. These studies involved 182 participants, focusing on healthy or normoglycemic adults, and assessed the effects of chickpeas compared to various foods such as wheat, potatoes, pasta, sauce, cheese, rice, and corn. A meta-analysis involving a subset of studies demonstrated that chickpeas were more effective in reducing blood glucose iAUC compared to potatoes and wheat. Chickpeas offer the potential for blood sugar control through low starch digestibility, high fiber, protein, and hormonal effects. Although insulin benefits are seen, statistical significance varies, supporting their role in diabetic diets focusing on nutrient-rich foods over processed carbs. Full article

Open AccessSystematic Review

Effectiveness of Technology-Enabled, Low Carbohydrate Dietary Interventions, in the Prevention or Treatment of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus in Adults: A Systematic Literature Review of Randomised Controlled and Non-Randomised Trials

Abstract

Evidence suggests that low carbohydrate dietary (LCD) approaches can improve glycaemic control and may result in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) remission. This systematic literature review (SLR) aimed to assess the effectiveness of technology-enabled LCD interventions in the management of people with prediabetes or T2DM. Data sources included Medline, Embase, CINAHL, and Web of Science. Randomised (RCTs) or non-randomised (non-RCTs) controlled trials investigating the effect of technology-enabled LCDs (<130 g/day) or very low carbohydrate diets (VLCDs < 50 g/day) on glycosylated haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) for at least three months and published in English between 2009 and 2023 were included. Risk of bias assessment, data extraction, and synthesis were conducted using standard tools and procedures. Six studies (two RCTs and four non-RCTs, total sample, n = 1519) were identified and included in the SLR. Two studies examining LCDs reported significant reductions in mean HbA1c (0.4% and −1.2%) and weight loss (−3.8 kg and −7.5 kg) at one year. Three studies examining VLCDs reported significant reductions in mean HbA1c (−0.8% to −1.3%) and weight loss (−12 kg to −14 kg) up to two years. Technology-enabled LCD or VLCD interventions can be a novel approach in helping people with prediabetes or T2DM self-manage their condition and possibly achieve remission. However, further research is required to determine the sustainability, effectiveness, and safety of this approach. Full article
