Abstract:
Objective:To explore the effect of alternating food restriction on blood glucose, body mass index (BMI) and blood lipids in overweight or obesity patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.Methods:A prospective cohort study was used. Three hundred overweight or obesity type 2 diabetes mellitus patients with stable blood glucose control from December 2021 to February 2022 in Nanxiang Hospital, Jiading District of Shanghai City were selected. The patients were divided into alternating food restriction group (adopting alternating food restriction therapy, giving balanced meal plates, reducing 30% of calories intake every other day), low carbohydrate high protein group (adopting low carbohydrate and high protein therapy, giving low carbohydrate and high protein reduction meal plates, reducing 15% of calories intake every day) and balanced diet group (adopting balanced diet therapy, giving balanced meal plates) by random digits table method with 100 cases each. All three groups received intervention treatment for 6 months. The height and body mass before intervention and the end of intervention and 6 months after intervention were measured, and the BMI was calculated. The levels of glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA 1c), fasting blood glucose (FBG), 2 h postprandial blood glucose (2 h PBG), triacylglycerol (TG), total cholesterol (TC) and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) were measured. Results:At the end, 280 cases were completed the study. There were 90 cases in the alternating food restriction group, 90 cases in the low carbohydrate high protein group, and 100 cases in the balanced diet group. There were no statistical differences in HbA 1c, FBG, 2 h PBG, BMI, TG, TC and LDL-C before intervention among the three groups ( P>0.05). At the end of the intervention, the HbA 1c and FBG in alternating food restriction group and low carbohydrate high protein group were significantly lower than those in balanced diet group: (6.50 ± 0.39)% and (6.67 ± 0.30)% vs. (6.79 ± 0.32)%, (6.47 ± 0.61) and (6.80 ± 0.30) mmol/L vs. (6.94 ± 0.37) mmol/L, the indexes in alternating food restriction group were significantly lower than those in low carbohydrate high protein group, and there were statistical difference ( P<0.05); the 2 h PBG and BMI in alternating food restriction group and the low carbohydrate high protein group were significantly lower than those in balanced diet group: (8.83 ± 0.63) and (8.81 ± 0.70) mmol/L vs. (9.45 ± 0.85) mmol/L, (25.99 ± 2.13) and (26.53 ± 2.16) kg/m 2 vs. (27.24 ± 2.24) kg/m 2, and there were statistical differences ( P<0.05), there were no statistical differences in 2 h PBG and BMI between alternating food restriction group and the low carbohydrate high protein group ( P>0.05). Six months after intervention, the HbA 1c, 2 h PBG and BMI in alternating food restriction group were significantly lower than those in low carbohydrate high protein group and balanced diet group: (6.62 ± 0.29)% vs. (6.79 ± 0.19)% and (6.84 ± 0.23)%, (9.21 ± 0.53) mmol/L vs. (9.48 ± 0.66) and (9.55 ± 0.51) mmol/L, (25.60 ± 1.67) kg/m 2 vs. (27.26 ± 2.42) and (27.79 ± 2.49) kg/m 2, and there were statistical differences ( P<0.05), there were no statistical differences in HbA 1c, 2 h PBG and BMI between low carbohydrate high protein group and balanced diet group ( P>0.05). At the end of intervention and 6 months after intervention, there were statistical differences in TG, TC and LDL-C among the three groups ( P<0.05); among them, the TG in alternating food restriction group was significantly lower than that in low carbohydrate high protein group and the balanced diet group: (1.67 ± 0.70) mmol/L vs. (1.99 ± 0.89) and (2.49 ± 0.94) mmol/L, (1.70 ± 0.71) mmol/L vs. (2.04 ± 0.96) and (2.53 ± 1.08) mmol/L, and there were statistical differences ( P<0.05), there was no statistical difference in TG between the low carbohydrate high protein group and balanced diet group ( P>0.05). Conclusions:The alternating food restriction therapy in overweight or obesity patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus can not only reduce blood glucose, improve blood lipids, but also reduce BMI, and the overall effect is better than that of low carbohydrate high protein therapy.
