A healthy
diet is not the only way to treat diabetes.
A study conducted by researchers in the United
States has revealed that a healthy diet alone cannot control type 2 diabetes.
A study led by the Massachusetts
Institute of Technology, Cambridge, found that eating a healthy diet alone did
not improve type 2 diabetes.
For the study, which is published
in JAMA Internal Medicine, the team tested 349 patients with type 2 diabetes
who were consuming inappropriate and unhealthy diets depending on the disease.
The participants were then given a strict routine of eating a healthy diet for
a period of time, with the aim of evaluating the effects of a healthy diet on
type 2 diabetes?
The research findings found no
significant positive effects of the healthy diet on cholesterol, triglycerides,
fasting glucose or blood pressure tests at 6 to 12 months.
Although it is not clear why the
increase in healthy and safe food intake did not have a positive effect on any
of these tests, the study does show that the damage caused by an unhealthy diet
over a long period of time is not easily compensated for. can be In other
words, type 2 diabetes cannot be controlled by diet alone.
