Description
Lin and a large team compare two diets for belly fat and blood lipids in newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes. Their 2026 Food Science and Nutrition trial enrolled eighty-nine patients after two weeks of intensive insulin therapy. One group ate a low glycemic load diet, and the other a standard calorie-restricted diet, matched for total energy.
Over one year, with checks every three months, both groups lost weight around the waist and improved several metabolic measures. The low glycemic load group differed mainly in diet makeup and in changes to a blood sugar control marker. No clear advantage appeared for waist size, body mass, or fat-related indexes between the diets. The authors conclude that the two approaches work about equally well after insulin therapy.
