Background: Arguments have continued about Low Carbohydrate Diet (LCD) and Calorie Restriction (CR). Authors have reported clinical research of LCD and Morbus (M) value. Subjects and Methods: Subjects enrolled are 84 patients with Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), 60.9 ± 10.9 years. The protocol were as follows: 1) CR diet on day 1, 2 with 60% carbohydrates, and LCD on day 3-14 with 12% carbohydrates, 2) Daily profile of blood glucose 7 times a day on day 2 (CR) and day 4 (LCD), 3) urinary C-Peptide radioimmunoassay (u-CPR) excretion, 4) M value calculation, 5) investigation of these data with correlation. Results: Subjects were classified into 4 groups according to M value, which were .4–21, 23–66, 29–192, 200–728, respectively. HbA1c value was 6.2, 8.0, 7.8, 9.2 %, respectively. Blood glucose in median from day 2 to day 4 were 123 to 107 mg/dL, 164 to 130 mg/dL, 193 to 156 mg/dL, 277 to 201 mg/dL, respectively. M value in median from day 2 to 4 was 6.3 to 9, 41 to 7, 108 to 16, 367 to 88, respectively. u-CPR was 88 to 58, 53 to 35, 65 to 52, 74 to 64, respectively. There were significant correlations among among glucose, M value and u-CPR. Discussion and Conclusion: Average glucose, M value and u-CPR decreased remarkably on day 4. As average glucose and M value were higher, decrease degree were larger. These results suggested that carbohydrate in meal would influence glucose variability in T2DM. Our data would become basic data for pathophysiological analysis of glucose variability research in the future.

Background: There have been lots of discussion and controversy concerning the difference between Low Carbohydrate Diet (LCD) and Calorie Restriction (CR). The important points include glucose variability, glucose-lowering effect, weight reduction degree and influence on lipid metabolism. Subjects and Methods: Enrolled subjects were 47 patients with T2DM. Methods included the study for providing subjects CR meal with 60% carbohydrate on day 1-2 and LCD meal with 12% on day 3-14. Daily profile of blood glucose was studied seven times a day on day 2 and day 4. Further, biomarkers including HbA1c, average blood glucose, and M value were investigated and analyzed for mutual correlations. Results: Subjects were categorized into 4 groups according to the average glucose value, which were 124mg/dL, 160mg/dL, 206mg/dL, and 281mg/dL, respectively. Data in 4 groups were as follows: Number; 12,12,12,11, Male/Female; 6/6, 3/9, 6/6, 5/6, mean age; 51.3, 60.9, 65.3, 60.6 years old, HbA1c; 6.1%, 7.1%, 8.0%, 8.9%, fasting glucose on day 2; 109 mg/dL, 136 mg/dL, 178 mg/dL, 224mg/dL, respectively. Daily profiles of blood glucose in 4 groups on day 4 were remarkably decreased than those of day 2. The levels of M value indicating average blood glucose and mean amplitude of glycemic excursions (MAGE) on day 2 vs 4 were compared in 4 groups, which are 7.1 vs 10.5, 39.7 vs 5.0, 139 vs 15.7, 367 vs88, respectively. Correlations among HbA1c, M value and average blood glucose showed significant correlations (p<0.01). Discussion and Conclusion: Obtained results showed that the distribution of daily profile of blood glucose in 4 groups is separated. Further similar tendency was observed in HbA1c and M value.

Diet is one of the main therapies for patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Many studies have investigated the relationship and risks between diet lifestyle, carbohydrate intake, and diabetes. It is not known exactly how diets, along with medication, affect medication during the treatment of diabetes mellitus. The purpose of this review is to summarize studies investigating the interaction of low-carbohydrate diets (LCD) and diabetes mellitus medication.

Introduction: Low-carbohydrate diet is effective in improving blood glucose parameters, glycated hemoglobin A1c, weight, and waist circumference. The effectiveness of this diet is well accepted in America and the United Kingdom but in Nepal due to many preexisted misbeliefs regarding carbohydrates, we still have a carbohydrate-based diet for type 2 diabetes mellitus.Material and Methods: Fifty-four newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes mellitus without any treatment were selected for solely low-carbohydrate diet intervention (<130g carbohydrate) in the endocrinology unit of Tribhuvan University Teaching Hospital, Kathmandu from March to August 2019. Antidiabetic medications were not used. Individualized diet plans and repeated counseling were given and followed for 3 months. Blood glucose (fasting and postprandial),glycated hemoglobin A1c, weight, and waist circumference were compared at entry and 3 months. Statistical analysis was done using SPSS version 21.Results: The mean ± SD age was 44.77 ± 10.32. The mean body weight decreased by 4.52 ± 1.79 kg (p<0.001), mean waist circumference decreased by 7.85±0.72 cm (p<0.001), mean fasting blood glucose decreased from 10.44±3.52 mmol/L to 6.18±1.02 mmol/L (p<0.001), mean postprandial blood glucose decreased from 16.76±8.26 mmol/L to 8.26±1.66 mmol/L (p<0.001) and mean glycated hemoglobin A1c decreased by 2.38 ± 1.49 % (p<0.001) after 3months of low-carbohydrate diet intervention.Conclusions: The use of a low-carbohydrate diet may effectively produce glycemic control and decrease glycated hemoglobin A1c without medication in newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes mellitus. Additionally, this diet may also help to lower weight and waist circumference in newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes mellitus.
