CAN LOW CARBOHYDRATE KETOGENIC DIET BE USED TO TREATS TYPE II

Can low carbohydrate ketogenic diet be used to treats type II diabetes

Abstract

Background: Low-carbohydrate eating sparingly remain well liked regardless of a paucity of scientific clues on their effectiveness.

Objective: To contrast the consequences of a low-carbohydrate, ketogenic diet program with those of a low-fat, low-cholesterol, reduced-calorie diet.

Design: Randomized, controlled trial.

Setting: Outpatient research clinic.

Participants: 120 overweight, hyperlipidemic volunteers from the community.

Intervention: Low-carbohydrate diet (initially, <20 g of carbohydrate every day) plus nutritional supplementation, workout recommendation, and assembly meetings, or low-fat diet (<30% energy from fat, <300 mg of cholesterol every day, and shortfall of 500 to 1000 kcal/d) in addition to exercise recommendation and assembly meetings.

Measurements: Body heaviness, body composition, fasting serum lipid grades, and tolerability.

Introduction

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a major universal health problem. The prevalence of this disease is rapidly growing in the world. In addition, in the Gulf region and especially in Kuwait, D. spreads widely. Changes in lifestyle and eating habits, combined with a genetic predisposition, have led to a significant increase in the incidence and prevalence of diabetes in the world.

Type 1 diabetes, or insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) is caused by autoimmune destruction of pancreatic ß cells leads to insulin deficiency. Consequently, insulin is important for metabolism and survival of these patients. Type 1 diabetes accounts only 5-10% of all cases of diabetes. Type 2 diabetes, on the other hand, in connection with violation of insulin secretion and / or insulin resistance. This type of insulin-independent diabetes mellitus is much more widespread and accounts for almost 90-95% of cases of diabetes(Allick, 2004).

Maintaining blood glucose within the normal range is of great importance in the management of diabetes. Diet is one factor that can have great influence on the stabilization of blood glucose levels in diabetic patients. Recent studies have re-conception of ketogenic diet low in carbohydrates in various disease states such as epilepsy, obesity, cardiovascular disease and diabetes.

Low-carbohydrate ketogenic diet (LCKD) is a high-fat, low protein, low carbohydrate (<100 g / d) diet, which has been employed as a treatment for intractable epilepsy and obesity. It consists of long chain saturated triglycerides in the 3:1-4:1 ratio of fat to carbohydrates + protein (by weight). LCKD mimics the physiological state of fasting.

It is believed that high-fat diet leads to obesity. As fat has a higher density than the caloric content of carbohydrates, it is assumed that the consumption of high fat diet is accompanied by higher energy consumption. On the contrary, modern research shows clearly that the ketogenic diet can cure obesity and obesity-related diseases. This concept that fat can be eaten without restriction and continued to cause weight loss in obese subjects is actually quite old(Parillo, 1992)

The degree of blood glucose determined by the number and rate of glucose absorption from the intestine, as well as its rate of use or storage when it enters circulation. In diabetes mellitus, and inside of carbohydrates absorbed mainly in the ...
