Medical Abstract Title:

High-Monounsaturated-Fat Diets for Patients with Diabetes Mellitus: A

Meta-analysis

Abstract:

The most recent position statement on nutrition from the American Diabetes

Association recommends an individualized approach to nutrition that is based on

the nutritional assessment and desired outcomes of each patient and that takes

into consideration patient preferences and control of hyperglycemia and

dyslipidemia. To achieve these nutritional goals, either low-saturated-fat

high-carbohydrate diets or high-monounsaturated-fat diets can be advised. A

meta-analysis of various studies comparing these two approaches to diet therapy

in patients with type 2 diabetes revealed that high-monounsaturated-fat diets

improve lipoprotein profiles as well as glycemic control.

High-monounsaturated-fat diets reduce fasting plasma triacylglycerol and

VLDL-cholesterol concentrations by 19% and 22%, respectively, and cause a modest

increase in HDL-cholesterol concentrations without adversely affecting

LDL-cholesterol concentrations. Furthermore, there is no evidence that

high-monounsaturated-fat diets induce weight gain in patients with diabetes

mellitus provided that energy intake is controlled. Therefore, a diet rich in

cis-monounsaturated fat can be advantageous for both patients with type 1 or 2

diabetes who are trying to maintain or lose weight.
