Higher carbohydrate diet for diabetic patients.
A higher (75%) carbohydrate diet was tried in 16 insulin treated patients for the duration of 2 weeks. A significant decrease was found in the mean predinner blood glucose level. There was no significant change in lipid levels. It is concluded that higher carbohydrate diets may be useful in the treatment of diabetes, especially when economic considerations are important.
