Lifestyle Strategies for Type 2 Diabetes Management
  First Line Treatment: Lifestyle Modification (diet and exercise) to:
       - reduce body weight
       - improve blood glucose control

Weight loss reduces hyperglycemia & metabolic risk factors in Type 2 Diabetes 1

1. How is this best achieved?

2. Which diet approach maximise the benefits of lifestyle modification?

Nutritional Management of Diabetes: The Dilemma
• Public guidelines (most countries) advise a High unrefined carbohydrate, low fat
  (HC) diet
         - Carbohydrate (45-75% of total E) – emphasis on low glycemic index
         - Protein (10-20% of total E)
         - Fat (15-30% total E;

Nutritional Management of Diabetes - The Evidence
• Blood Glucose Control remains primary target
        - associated with reduced development and progression of microvascular complications 1
• Assessments:
        - Glycated Hemoglobin (HbA1c)
               • average blood glucose levels over 3 months
               • standard clinical assessment of blood glucose control
        - Post-prandial glucose (PPG) peaks, hyperglycemic excursion & diurnal glycemic variability
               • independent risk factor for micro- and macrovascular complications and CVD events 2,3
• Targeting treatment options that both:
        1. lowering HbA1c
        2. minimizing PPG and daily glucose variability                                                                                                                                                       Tay et al. Ann Rev Nutr 2015

Nutritional Management of Diabetes – Carbs

•    Carbohydrate (CHO) restriction for glucose control:
      • Glycaemic load (GL) greatest influence on PPG and insulin response
      • both type (GI%) and quantity (g) influence blood glucose levels/glycaemic control,
        but …. Quantity impacts glycaemia the most 1
      • Gannon et al. 2 - 4 week energy balance study: CHO restriction reduced HbA1c by
        1.25% (absolute units)
      • 2016 Meta analysis3 of randomised controlled feeding studies
          • replacing CHO with MUFA or PUFA, but not SFA significantly lowered HbA1c
      ∴ reducing total CHO intake may offer strong option to reduce GL and improve

Nutritional Management of Diabetes – Protein and Fat
• Protein and Fat for glucose control:
   - attenuate postprandial glucose rises by delaying gastric emptying of CHO 1,2

   - via alternating gastrointestinal function caused by an incretin response1,2
           • reducing glucose insulinotrphic polypeptide (GIP)
           • increasing glucogon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1)

     ∴ increasing dietary protein and fat levels may reduce PPG response &
     improve glycaemic control

 Dietary pattern low in carbohydrate and high in fat and protein may be beneficial for
 improving glycaemic control for type 2 diabetes management

• 2017 meta-analysis of 10 RCTs showed greater HbA1c lowering with LC vs HC in T2D8
• Dose response effect: greater carbohydrate restriction the greater glucose-lowering effect8
Limitations of previous studies:
• No formalised exercise program or control of physical activity
• Glycaemic control assessment limited to HbA1c and FBG
   - GV and PPG - emerging independent risk factors for diabetes complications including CVD 4-7
• Comprehensive approach to reduce diabetes related CVD risk & complications target both:
   - lowering HbA1c (chronic)
   - minimising daily fluctuations (acute)                                    7 |

Low carbohydrate, high fat diets & CVD risk
- Evidence in obese, non-diabetes populations
• Several RCT’s show up to 1 year, cf. HC diet, an LC diet achieve:

  •     comparable or greater weight loss 1—3
  •     greater ä in triglyceride
  •     greater ã in HDL-C
  •     similar reductions in blood pressure, insulin resistance, glucose homeostasis, and inflammatory
        marker status 1-3

 • Detrimental effects of LC diets on blood lipids and CVD risk concern remains
    • Studies often show LC diet promote higher LDL-C 1-4
    • Flow Mediated Dilatation (FMD - vascular function) impaired 5

Low carbohydrate, high fat diets & CVD risk
 - Evidence in non-diabetes populations
 • but …… LC diet studies, concomitantly increase total fat and promote high saturated fat
   intakes
 • Fat quality/type rather than quantity per se is more important:
                                                                                                              Mono- and Polyunsaturated fat:
      Saturated Fat:
                                                                                                              - promotes insulin sensitivity
      - promotes insulin resistance1

      - elevates LDL-C2

      - adversely affects FMD3
                                                                                                              - improve FMD 5,6

 • \ high saturated fat content of LC diets maybe promote detrimental effects on LDL-C
   and FMD
 • higher dietary fat intakes, provided saturated fat content remains low maybe
   advantageous for reducing CVD risk

   Devised novel eating pattern:
   - markedly limits carbohydrates
   - increases protein and unsaturated fat
   - and is nutritionally replete
          -      Adequate vitamins, minerals, trace elements and fibre

   Hypothesis:
   A low carbohydrate diet, high in protein and unsaturated fat and low
   in saturated fat offer:
   - greatest improvements in glucose control
   - without detrimental effects on CVD risk

Conclusions
     • Both LCLSF and HC diets produced similar weight loss, body composition changes,
       improvements in CVD risk markers, mood, quality of life and cognitive function

     • LCLSF diet had more favorable effects on:
       – lipid profile
       – glycaemic control
       – attenuating glucose fluctuations

     • Incorporation of a low carb, healthy fat eating plan (50-70g CHO/day) within a
       comprehensive lifestyle modification program magnifies therapeutic benefits for:
            - improving both acute and chronic glycaemic control
            - reducing glycemic variability
            - enhancing CVD health

29 | The Diet Debate – fats vs protein vs carbs for type 2 diabetes |   Grant Brinkworth, PhD, MBA
Conclusion
• All Low carb diets may not be equal
• All energy reduced diets (including Low Carb and High Carb diets) produce weight
  loss and improve glycemic control and CVD risk markers
• A low carb diet (high unsaturated / low saturated fat) may:
    - magnify metabolic benefits of weight loss
    - more effective for people with Type 2 Diabetes and Metabolic Syndrome

• One size (diet) may not fit all individuals
• Variety of diet approaches for weight and diabetes control is required to
  individualise management based on personal preferences:
  - tradition, culture, religion, economics, and metabolic and health beliefs and goals
