Description
Yahya Faruk Karatas and co-authors studied diet and muscle loss in dialysis patients in a 2026 paper. Muscle wasting, called sarcopenia, is very common in people on long-term hemodialysis, above all when diabetes is also present. The sugar and insulin load of a diet may feed the metabolic trouble behind muscle loss. The team enrolled 92 patients, 43 with diabetes and 49 without.
Three-day food records let them score each diet's glycemic and insulin index and load. Muscle status was checked with grip strength, body composition scans, walking speed, and a screening questionnaire. Blood and body measures added clinical context. The team compared patterns between the diabetic and non-diabetic groups. Findings like these can guide diet advice that protects muscle in a fragile group.
