Metabolic Syndrome and Related Disorders, 2003•liebertpub.comOUR OBJECTIVE was to assess the effect of a carbohydrate-restricted dietary approach on
diabetes mellitus. The rationale for using a carbohydrate-restricted diet for diabetes mellitus
derives from the known effect of dietary carbohydrate on insulin secretion. 1 For type 1
diabetes, less dietary carbohydrate will lead to a lower requirement for insulin to control
postprandial blood glucoses. For type 2 diabetes, less dietary carbohydrate will lead to
lower insulin levels and less insulin resistance—if insulin resistance is an adaptive response …

OUR OBJECTIVE was to assess the effect of a carbohydrate-restricted dietary approach on diabetes mellitus. The rationale for using a carbohydrate-restricted diet for diabetes mellitus derives from the known effect of dietary carbohydrate on insulin secretion. 1 For type 1 diabetes, less dietary carbohydrate will lead to a lower requirement for insulin to control postprandial blood glucoses. For type 2 diabetes, less dietary carbohydrate will lead to lower insulin levels and less insulin resistance—if insulin resistance is an adaptive response to high insulin levels. Less insulin resistance will then lead to improved glycemic control.
